NWS to determine whether tornadoes touched down in North Jersey

Emergency mobile alerts sounded across parts of Morris and Passaic counties Tuesday after two tornadoes were reported during severe storms that swept through northern New Jersey.
One reported tornado was spotted shortly after 2 p.m. near Stanhope, close to the Morris-Sussex county border. High winds brought down trees near Interstate 80 and Route 206, according to reports.
Video from Parsippany appeared to show a cloud swirling near the ground around 2:45 p.m. near a golf center roughly a mile north of the Troy Hills area.
The National Weather Service is expected to survey the reported tornado locations to determine whether tornadoes touched down and assess any damage. Officials are expected to release their findings later today.
