The weather looks great through at least Saturday evening. Sunday could be a bit tricky and sticky. High pressure, responsible for all this great weather we’ve been having, will slide into the ocean as low pressure moves through Canada. That will swing a line of precipitation through on Sunday which New Jersey will be at the southern tip of. It doesn’t look like anything crazy, just some nuisance weather—showers and embedded storms at most. Let’s break it down:
Friday should reach the low-to-mid 80s for afternoon high temperatures. A few inland spots could reach upper-80s. The mostly sunny and dry but summery theme should continue. Winds should be light out of the NW. Overnight lows should fall into the 60s for most of New Jersey (50s for NNJ elevations).
Saturday should reach the mid-to-upper 80s for afternoon high temperatures. A few inland spots could flirt with 90. Skies should be mostly sunny. Light winds should switch to more of a westerly flow. This should start to trickle a little humidity back in but nothing crazy. It should still feel pleasant for mid-summer. Overnight lows should bottom out in the lower-70s for most of New Jersey (60s for NNJ elevations) as possible rain approaches from the Great Lakes region.
Sunday should easily reach into the 80s for high temperatures as noticeable humidity builds. Expect a mixed bag of some sun (will enhance humid feel), occasional overcast skies, showers and a few embedded t-storms. Rain and storm chances favor afternoon hours. Winds should be breezy out of the S/SW. Overnight lows should bottom out in the lower-70s for most of New Jersey (60s for NNJ elevations).
An early look at next week indicates warm and humid conditions persisting.
