Dan Zarrow's Forecast

Here is a county-by-county, hour-by-hour breakdown of this nasty tropical storm day.

Strong winds will be the biggest impact for the Jersey Shore, while heavy rain and flooding will be worst along the Delaware River in western New Jersey.

But just how much rain, wind, surge, and surf New Jersey and the Jersey Shore sees is still a big question mark at this time.

The storm is difficult to pronounce, and the forecast is becoming more precarious for the entire U.S. East Coast, including New Jersey and the Jersey Shore.

Tropical Storm Fay will impact New Jersey all day Friday, and could be the state's first tropical cyclone to make landfall since Irene in 2011.

The next few days will feature a bit of a warmup, with a minor chance of rain around midweek.

Coastal flooding, a strong on-shore wind, spotty showers, clouds, and cool temperatures are New Jersey's biggest concerns through the first half of the week.

A Tornado Watch serves as a formal heads-up to potentially dangerous weather conditions, including gusty winds, hail, and yes even a tornado.

After a bright and mild Monday, New Jersey's weather forecast for the rest of the week remains warm but also turns unsettled with clouds and showers.
