The National Weather Service has posted a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for Avalon and other coastal communities in our region.  The Watch is in effect on Monday, July 18th, until 8:00pm.

A front continues to push towards the Jersey Shore throughout the afternoon hours on Monday.  In advance of the front, showers and thunderstorms are developing.  If a storm develops, it is possible that the Watch will transition to a Warning.  If you hear thunder or see lightning, seek shelter immediately especially if you are in an open area like a beach or a boardwalk.  If storms develop, they could include gusty winds and small hail.
