Rainy Weekend Possible (Aug 2-3)

Just one more cooler day to get through. Winds should shift to a southwesterly flow today which will bring warmth and humidity northward into our region tomorrow. As we head into the weekend, I’m currently watching a low pressure disturbance  that could slide up the coast Saturday/Sunday. This would bring decent rainfall and light-to-moderate winds across most of the state with primary impact along the coast. Here’s the latest GFS showing SNJ impacts by Saturday afternoon:

There is some model discrepancy on timing. The Euro starts NJ impacts (from SNJ to NNJ) earlier in the day on Saturday but keeps it wet well into Sunday. I’ll have a much more detailed weekend outlook posted tomorrow evening but for now the potential exists for a rainy weekend. Be safe! JC
