NJ under a Thunderstorm Watch until 10 p.m.

⚡ Heat and humidity combined to energize the atmosphere

⚡ The storms could have ping pong ball-sized hail and 75 mph winds

The sunny skies and high humidity Monday led to a Severe Thunderstorm Watch being issued for the entire state by the National Weather Service until 10 p.m.

The National Weather Service said the storms had the potential for ping pong ball-sized hail, scattered gusts of wind to 75 mph, and frequent lightning. An isolated thunderstorm cannot be ruled out.

Heat indexes reached their highest levels of the season Monday by reaching the 90s.

The potential for storms have caused several fireworks displays to be postponed. South Brunswick's Monday night display was moved to Friday while Lakewood's display scheduled for Tuesday was postponed to a date to be determined.
