The Bottom Line High humidity and unsettled weather. Typical summer weather in New Jersey. But that does not mean we have to like it.
We are facing a few showers and maybe even a thunderstorm through the first half of Wednesday. And again during the daytime hours on Thursday. Meanwhile, dew points in the 70s are making the air thick and uncomfortable.
But change is coming. A cold front will usher in clearer skies, drier weather, and refreshing air on Friday. And the beautiful weather will continue through the upcoming weekend.
Could it be one of the best weekends of the entire summer? Wednesday As of this writing (6 a.m.), it is not really raining over New Jersey.
It's raining around New Jersey. And it is damp in spots, and very humid. But this storm system has been even tamer than expected, also arriving later than expected.
We are not out of the woods for some wet weather going forward here. In fact, I have to leave a chance for scattered showers and even a thunderstorm in the forecast through about midday Wednesday. Then our weather will trend drier through the afternoon.
Technically, our severe weather risk has ticked up one category. But I still only have one concern: localized downpours, which could drop a quick inch of rain, causing big puddles to form. Skies will be mostly cloudy to overcast Wednesday, keeping temperatures at bay somewhat.
70s in the morning. Lower 80s in the afternoon. Wednesday night looks pretty dry, although still incredibly muggy.
Low temperature.
