Mild Thanksgiving Expected (Nov 23-27)

A transient cold air mass will swing through to start the week. High pressure will then take control and moderate temperatures for Thanksgiving. Let’s break it down:

Monday (Nov 23) high temperatures should reach the lower 40s after a cold start. Skies should be mostly sunny. Winds should be light out of the W/NW. Overnight lows should range from teens in NWNJ to 30s along the coast.

Tuesday (Nov 24) high temperatures should reach the mid-40s after another cold start. Skies should be mostly sunny. Winds should be light out of the W. Overnight lows should range from 20s in NWNJ to 30s along the coast.

Wednesday (Nov 25) high temperatures should reach the upper-40s for NNJ elevations and lower-50s for the rest of New Jersey. Skies should be mostly sunny. Winds should be light out of the E/SE. Overnight lows should range from ~30 for NNJ elevations to lower-50s for the rest of New Jersey.

Thursday (Nov 26 – Thanksgiving) high temperatures should reach the upper-50s for NNJ elevations and 60s for the rest of New Jersey. Skies should be mostly sunny. Winds should be light out of the S/SE. Overnight lows should range from 40s for NNJ elevations to lower-50s for the rest of New Jersey.

Friday (Nov 27) high temperatures should break 60 for most of the state and possibly take a run at 65-70 along the interior/coastal plain. Skies should be mostly sunny. Winds should be light out of the S/SW. Overnight lows should range from uper-40s for NNJ elevations to lower-50s for the rest of New Jersey. Some guidance is showing light showers overnight into Saturday (favoring NWNJ) but we’ll take a closer look mid-week.

An early look at the weekend indicates more mild temperatures through Saturday followed by a transitional Sunday, as a front moves through and drops temperatures for next week. I’ll be monitoring Sunday’s frontal passage on guidance this week for any nuisance precipitation that might form along/ahead of it.
