Mixed Weather Expected (April 11-15)

Temperatures will be warmer this week however clouds and rain should be plentiful for at least the first part. Let’s break it down:

Monday (April 11) high temperatures should reach the mid-50s for NNJ elevations and likely break 60 for the rest of New Jersey. Skies should cloudier for NNJ than SNJ and therefore has a slightly better chance of passing showers/light rain. With that said, SNJ has a better chance of sunshine than NNJ. Winds should be breezy out of the S. Overnight lows should fall into the upper-40s for NNJ elevations and just into the 50s for the rest of New Jersey.

Tuesday (April 12) high temperatures should reach the mid-50s statewide. Skies should be mostly cloudy with rain expected. Winds should be light out of the NW. Overnight lows should fall into the 30s for most with the SNJ coast holding in the 40s.

Wednesday (April 13) high temperatures should reach the mid-50s statewide. Skies should be mostly sunny away from the ocean with some clouds along the coast. Winds should be light-to-moderate out of the NE (more felt along coast). Overnight lows should fall into the 30s for most with the SNJ coast holding in the 40s.

Thursday (April 14) high temperatures should reach about 60 statewide. Skies should feature a mixed bag of sun and clouds. Winds should remain stiff out of the NE. Overnight lows should fall into the 30s for most with the SNJ coast holding in the 40s.

Friday (April 15) high temperatures should reach about 60 statewide. Skies should feature a mixed bag of sun and clouds. Winds should be light out of the N. Overnight lows should fall into the 40s statewide.

An early look at next week indicates more of the same for part of Saturday but Sunday-forward continues to look like sustainable 60s/70s. Just keep in mind that onshore flow could keep the coastal regions slightly cooler. The sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic Ocean are still chilly and we might have a stubborn cut-off low off the SE US coast. Have agreat week and be safe! JC
