The weekend should start chilly and breezy but end milder and possibly wet. Let’s break it down…
Nerdy Disco: The low pressure disturbance responsible for Thursday rain is moving out to sea. High pressure will slide in behind and present northerly flow for Friday, relaxed flow for Saturday and southerly flow for Sunday. This should keep the rain away until PM hours of Sunday but the temperature difference will be pretty noticable between Friday night and daytime hours on Saturday and Sunday. More high pressure should slide in behind the showers Sunday night and start next week off alright.

Friday (Oct 28) high temperatures should fail to escape the 40s for NNJ elevations. The rest of New Jersey should only reach into the 50s. Skies should feature a mixed bag of sun and clouds with skies gradually clearing throughout the day. Winds should be breezy-to-gusty out of the W/NW during the day but should subside some heading into overnight hours as temperatures drop into the 30s statewide. Perhaps the coast could hang just above 40.
Saturday (Oct 29) high temperatures should reach the upper-60s/lower-70s statewide which should feel very mild. Skies should be partly-to-mostly sunny. Winds should be breezy out of the SW. Overnight lows should fall into the 50s statewide.
Sunday (Oct 30) high temperatures should reach the upper-60s for NNJ elevations and low-to-mid 70s for the rest of New Jersey. Skies should be mostly cloudy with rain showers possible, especially during afternoon-evening hours. Overnight lows should fall into the 40s for most with NNJ elevations possibly dipping into the 30s.
An early look at next week indicates more temperature fluctuation but with dry conditions. Let’s revisit on Sunday evening. Everyone have a great weekend and don’t forget to come see me at Operation Halloween this weekend. I’ll be live-streaming. Be safe! JC
