Wake-Up Weather: One-hot wonder with bookend thunderstorms

Get ready for a brief blast of extreme heat on Wednesday, and strong thunderstorms – especially at night. It will feel like 100 degrees on Wednesday, but the high heat, fortunately, only lasts for one day. The other threat will be for bookend thunderstorms. The first round could begin around sunrise, but the severe risk will likely take place late Wednesday night, especially in central and southern parts of New Jersey. Then a big cooldown comes, as temperatures plummet to the low and middle 70s. Tie in clouds with wind gusts, and Thursday will feel more like fall.
