- The second notable weather event of the week hit us yesterday, as Post-Tropical Storm Debby moved up from the Southeast U.S. into the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast. After a couple days of October weather with damp and dreary conditions and temperatures not getting out of the 60s, the cold front that hit us on Tuesday began to lift back up to the north as a warm front late on Thursday night, as Tropical Storm Debby began to lift up to the north through North Carolina and Virginia and weaken. NJ felt the most impacts from the storm as it was going through central PA and into upstate NY. However, in the grand scheme of things, NJ didn't really get much notable impacts from this storm. Most of the state just got gusty winds up to 30-40 MPH, which did cause a few downed trees/branches and scattered power outages in some spots (one of them being on Jacksonville Road in Montville, NJ, which caused part of the road to be blocked off), but there was no severe weather such as tornadoes, (which there was a chance of as a Tornado watch was issued and there was a lot of spin in the atmosphere), or damaging winds. We had a lot of rain, but it came more in the form of scattered heavy downpours rather than an organized area of rain/storms, as most of the rain bypassed us to the west in PA. Later in the day, the system's main cold front began to approach and there was a more organized line of heavy rain that went through, but that didn't really cause much issues either other than heavy downpours. There was a tornado reported in northern DE on Thursday evening and another one around Harrisburg, PA early Friday morning along the warm front, but NJ didn't really see much in the way of that either. Still, my area at least got some gusty winds and a lot of heavy downpours which I got some footage of. It's also been a very beneficial week for rain as my area got 4.18 inches of rain this week which was much needed. All in all, the remnants of Debby were much more like a typical nor'easter, with just some gusty winds and heavy rain. The storm had the potential to produce some damaging weather conditions across the state, but that didn't really materialize. I guess it's good that damage was minimized across NJ, as other states did not get so lucky. Now we get to enjoy several days of low humidity and manageable temperatures as thankfully Debby took the relentless heat, humidity, and rain with it.
Great job and be careful with the storm😮
