The area under the biggest threat for severe storms is northwestern New Jersey, including Sussex, Warren and parts of Morris, Passaic and Hunterdon counties. There is a marginal risk of thunderstorms in the western half of Salem, Gloucester, Camden, Burlington and Monmouth as well as throughout Mercer, Middlesex, Somerset, Essex, Union, Hudson and Bergen counties.
