Mostly Nice Week Expected (June 13-17)

High pressure should have control of most of the week. We’ll have to watch a low pressure disturbance towards the end of the week to see how much impact it will have heading into the weekend. Let’s break it down:

Monday (June 13) high temperatures should reach into the 70s statewide. Skies should be mostly sunny and pleasant. Winds should remain breezy out of the NW. Overnight lows should fall into the 50s for most (maybe lower-60s along the coast).

Tuesday (June 14) high temperatures should reach into the 70s for most (maybe lower-80s away from the ocean). Skies should be mostly sunny. Winds should be relaxed but still out of the NW. Overnight lows should fall into the 50s for most (maybe lower-60s along the coast).

Wednesday (June 15) high temperatures should reach into the 80s away from the ocean and in the NNJ elevations. The coast should be held in the 70s. Skies should be mostly sunny with just a small chance of an afternoon shower/t-storm (more favorable in SNJ than NNJ). Winds should be light out of the S/SE. Overnight lows should fall into the 60s for most.

Thursday (June 16) high temperatures should reach the mid-70s statewide. Skies should be partly-to-mostly cloudy with a chance of rain. Again, I’ll be watching the low pressure disturbance responsible for this to gauge impacts. There will be a lesser chance of rain if the disturbance is held to the S by high pressure. Obviously there will be a greater chance if the disturbance is not suppressed as much. I’ll revisit this on Wednesday. Winds should be light out of the SE. Overnight lows should fall into the 60s for most (maybe upper-50s in NNJ elevations).

Friday (June 17) high temperatures should reach about 70 statewide. Coastal regions could drop into the 60s should onshore flow dominate. Skies should be partly-to-mostly cloudy with a small chance of light rain. Winds should be light for most (breezy along the coast) out of the E/SE. Overnight lows should fall into the 50s for most (maybe upper-40s in the NNJ elevations and lower-60s along the coast).

An early look at Saturday and Sunday indicates sunny highs in the 70s/80s. We should then bake with hot temperatures the following week to start astronomical summer. Have a great week and be safe! JC
