NWS Rates New Jersey And Delaware Tornado Watch Extreme
Issued at 2:46 PM EDT, the watch covers New Castle County and 14 New Jersey counties until 9 PM.
- New Castle County, Delaware, is the lone county outside New Jersey under the watch.
- Camden, Burlington, Monmouth and Middlesex are among the 14 named New Jersey counties.
- A watch signals favorable tornado conditions, short of a confirmed-tornado warning for the area.
Why it matters: A watch marks hours and counties, not streets; the decision to take cover stays with each person.
