Here is a time lapse video of weather conditions in South Plainfield on the afternoon of September 12, 2013. During the afternoon on this day, a severe thunderstorm cell moved just to the north of South Plainfield, and brought some dark skies for a short time, but then the skies brightened as the sun came out. Storms would return later to bring a quarter of an inch in the evening, and another 0.15 inches overnight.
