Cool Fall Weekend Expected (Oct 10-12)

A near-stationary frontal boundary is currently positioned across the mid-Atlantic from W/SW to E/NE. A weak area of low pressure will ride along this boundary over the next 24 hours or so and bring much-needed rain to the region. Precipitation should start in the early evening hours tonight and clear out by tomorrow early afternoon. Lets look at each day:

Friday will reach the lower to mid 60s during afternoon hours before rain approaches from the W/SW. Winds will be very light from the same direction. Precipitation should hold off until the early evening hours but there exists a small chance it could start in the late afternoon. Rain will be light at first but intensify overnight as low temperatures fall into the upper-40s and lower-50s.

Saturday should be a few degrees cooler than Friday, topping out just over 60 statewide. Rain should end from NW to SE between late morning and early afternoon—eventually giving way to sun and clouds. Winds will be out of the N/NW at 10-15mph with gusts to 25mph. Lows will then fall into the 30s in the upper elevations of NWNJ and 40s for the rest of the state.

Sunday will start out mostly sunny but eventually cloud up before evening. Highs will reach the lower 60s statewide before falling back into the 30s and 40s overnight. Winds will be very light out of the north. Next week is also looking to start cool with variable clouds. I’m currently watching a mid-week system that could bring rain and wind to the region. I’ll have a better handle on that come Sunday.
