UPDATE: Area Under Severe Thunderstorm Watch

Clouds amassed over Ocean Grove, left, and Asbury Park, right, at noon today, ahead of a massive cold front.
A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until 8 p.m. Earlier today, the National Weather Service (NWS) gave coastal Monmouth County and the rest of the Jersey shoreline a slight chance of severe thunderstorms between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m., but the clouds were building up by noon, pushed by an approaching cold front that extends from the northern Appalachians southwest to the Great Plains. Eastern Monmouth County has an 80-percent chance of thunderstorms tonight. Some could be severe, with heavy rain and damaging winds, the NWS said.
