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. Just after 5 p.m., Asbury Park Press reporters across Monmouth and Ocean counties were reporting soaking rain and “pencil eraser-sized hail” falling across the region, which had left a layer of ice on the ground now and was drowning out conversations inside homes. Manchester Police sent out a public robocall at 5:55 p.m. urging the public to stay off the roads due to “slippery roadways” as a result of the severe weather. 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. At 4:39 p.m., a severe thunderstorm was located 14 miles northwest of Toms River, moving east at 25 mph, all according to the weather service.
