And high temperatures will be limited to the lower 80s. Dew points plummet into the dry, comfortable 50s. Partial clearing will take over by Saturday afternoon. And then I really like what I see through the rest of this summer weekend. Showers from the aforementioned cold front may still be with us through mid-morning Saturday. Don't expect a massive soaking - but we'll take every drop we can get at this point. Showers and thunderstorms will probably sweep through most/all of NJ, ahead of a cold front. Our best rain chance of the week is expected to arrive Friday afternoon, lasting through Friday night. Skies will remain mostly cloudy, with moderate humidity in the air. FridayĪ return to southerly winds will push temperatures back into the lower to mid 80s to close out this abbreviated workweek. As you'd guess, that is below-normal for this time of year.ĭew points will bottom out close to 60 - not quite dry, but pretty comfortable, with just a hint of stickiness in the air. High temperatures will only reach about 80 degrees. More importantly, cloud cover and an on-shore wind direction will keep Thursday noticeably cooler than the last week. However, given our recent trend of guidance overdoing forecast rainfall, I'm leaning toward a drier forecast overall for Thursday. There are a couple of models (high-res NAM and Euro) that keep raindrops on top of us for most of the day. Scattered showers may extend into Thursday morning, especially for central and southern New Jersey. It will be slightly less humid, with lows dipping to around 70 degrees, give or take. I have to keep a shower chance alive for Wednesday night. Best chance for a localized downpour would be over southern New Jersey.Īlthough the threat of severe weather (wind, hail, tornado) is low, a quick inch of rain could cause some ponding issues (big puddles). While I can't completely rule out some spotty showers centered around midday, a few thunderstorms may pop Wednesday evening. There is a batch of thunderstorms moving into western Pennsylvania as of this writing (6 a.m.) That piece of energy will provide our next chance of rain, over the southern chance of New Jersey.

But you'll hardly notice - our new air mass is barely cooler and only slightly drier than the last one, and early rain chances are minimal.
