Temperatures Vary this Week (Oct 19-23)

It’s that time of year where temperatures like to roller coaster between cold and mild. High pressure overhead will drift into the ocean and another low pressure system will track across SE Canada between today and Friday. This will reverse the colder northerly flow and allow mild temperatures to filter back into the region from the SW. That should set up another cold front just before the weekend. Let’s break it down:

Monday high temperatures should just reach/break 50 statewide. Skies should be mostly sunny. Winds should be light out of the W/SW. Overnight lows should fall into the 30s (NNJ elevations) and 40s for the rest of New Jersey.

Tuesday high temperatures should reach the mid-to-upper 60s statewide. Skies should be sunny for most with maybe a few more clouds in NNJ than SNJ. Winds should be light out of the SW. Overnight lows should fall into the 40s (NNJ elevations) and 50s for the rest of New Jersey.

Wednesday high temperatures should reach the upper-60s/lower-70s statewide. Skies should be sunny for most with maybe a few more clouds in NNJ than SNJ. Winds should be light out of the SW. Overnight lows should fall into the 40s (NNJ elevations) and 50s for the rest of New Jersey.

Thursday high temperatures should reach the low-to-mid 70s statewide. Skies should be mostly sunny despite the cold front approaching/moving through. I’m still leaning towards a dry frontal passage for most with only and small chance of isolated clouds and showers just ahead of it. Winds should be light out of the W. Overnight lows should fall into the 30s (NNJ elevations) and 40s for the rest of New Jersey.

Friday high temperatures should reach the mid-to-upper 50s. Skies should be mostly sunny. Winds should be light-to-breezy out of the N. Overnight lows should fall into the upper-20s (NNJ elevations), 30s (most of New Jersey) and lower-40s along immediate coastal regions. This traditionally spells fog IMO so careful of that.

An early look at the weekend indicates a sunny and dry beautiful fall weekend. I’ll have the fully-detailed weekend outlook posted Thursday evening.
