New Jersey residents can expect warm and increasingly humid weather on Sunday followed by the growing potential for afternoon showers and thunderstorms fueled by the remnants of Tropical Storm Chantal to start next week. Highs Sunday will reach the upper 80s to low 90s across the state.

Following massive fireworks displays and an abundance of hamburgers and hot dogs for the 4th of July, forecasters are now keeping an eye on Tropical Storm Chantal. Tropical Depression #3 was upgraded to Tropical Storm Chantal at 8:00 Saturday morning as maximum sustained winds reached 40 MPH.

As the remnants of Tropical Storm Chantal stream northward into the Tri-State Area, major weather changes are in store after a near-perfect Fourth of July weekend in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
