Discussion: The Bermuda high is finally expected to break down this Wednesday. Tomorrow until then looks hot and humid. Thursday and into the weekend should feature lower temperatures and less humidity but still feel warm and summery. The driest days of the week should be tomorrow (Monday), Thursday and Friday. Tuesday and Wednesday could see PM showers and thunderstorms after daytime solar destabilization. A pretty run-of-mill week for August in New Jersey.
Monday (Aug 6) high temperatures should reach the low-to-mid 90s for most. Interior CNJ/SNJ could reach the mid-to-upper 90s while immediate coastal areas hang in the 80s. Skies should be partly sunny with a humid feel. Winds should be light out of the SW. Overnight lows should fall to near-70 for most.
Tuesday (Aug 7) high temperatures should reach the upper-80s/lower-90s for most. Immediate coastal regions should hang in the low-to-mid 80s. Skies should feature a mixed bag of sun and clouds with a humid feel. A small chance of an isolated shower or thunderstorm exists, especially during PM hours. Winds should be light out of the S/SW. Overnight lows should fall into the low-to-mid 70s.
Wednesday (Aug 8) high temperatures should reach the upper-80s/lower-90s for most. Immediate coastal regions should hang in the low-to-mid 80s. Skies should be partly sunny with a humid feel. A small chance of an isolated shower or thunderstorm exists, especially during PM hours. Winds should be light out of the S/SW. Overnight lows should fall into the low-to-mid 70s.
Thursday (Aug 9) high temperatures should reach the 80s for most. Skies should be partly sunny with less humidity. Not total relief of humidity but less than the recent status qu0. Winds should be light out of the W/NW. Overnight lows should fall into the 60s for most.
Friday (Aug 10) high temperatures should reach the mid-to-upper 80s for most. Skies should be mostly sunny with a less humid feel. Winds should be light out of the W/NW. Overnight lows should fall into the 60s for most.
An early look at the weekend indicates high temps in the 80s with partly sunny skies. Conditions appear somewhat unsettled so cannot take rain and/or thunderstorms off the table after typical daytime build. Let’s take a closer look in a few days. Have a great week and please be safe! JC
