The Bottom Line Go outside. And take a deep breath. Ahh, fresh, not-humid air! We have made it to the beautiful part of the week.

And our weather forecast will stay comfortable and dry across New Jersey right through the last weekend of July. I seriously have no significant concerns for the weekend. Sunday will be warmer than both Friday and Saturday, and a touch more humid too.

But our weather looks completely rain-free for the duration. Changes roll in next week, as rain chances kick in again on Monday — that is an update to previous forecasts. And we fall into a humid, unsettled weather pattern again through the middle of next week.

Friday A cold front finished pushing through New Jersey early Friday morning, and ushered in a slightly cooler and much drier air mass. Dew points have fallen into the 50s across most of the state to start the day. And that is where they will stay for the next 48+ hours.

Dry and comfortable. Friday begins with temperatures mainly in the 60s. What a difference from the past few days — you can comfortably cruise to work with your windows rolled in! High temperatures will reach about 80 to 85 degrees Friday afternoon.

Just below normal for late July. Skies will be bright and sunny, for the northern half of the state at least. That frontal boundary is still close enough to spread some pesky high-level clouds through the southern half of New Jersey.

It's a great beach day — get there early to snag the perfect spot, lather up on the sunscreen, .
