Monmouth and Ocean counties are under a tornado watch until 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, the National Weather Service said. The watch includes much of central New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania. In addition, a severe thunderstorm warning has been issued for Monmouth and northwest Ocean counties until 5:15 p.m. Nov. 12.

In New Jersey, the tornado watch includes eight counties in addition to Monmouth and Ocean. The other counties are Burlington, Camden, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex and Somerset. The severe thunderstorm warning includes northwestern Ocean, central Monmouth, the eastern central portion of Mercer and southeastern Middlesex counties.
