Skies should start off partly sunny but showers and thunderstorms are possible during afternoon-evening hours. Winds should be light out of the S. Overnight lows should range from upper-50s in NNJ elevations to about 70 along the SNJ coast.

Saturday (July 2) high temperatures should reach the lower-80s away from the ocean and mid-to-upper 70s along the coast. Skies should be mostly sunny with a pleasant feel. Winds should be light/breezy out of the W/NW. Overnight lows should fall into the 50s for NNJ elevations and 60s for the rest of New Jersey.

Isolated pop-up showers and thunderstorms are possible on any given summer day like this. Not expected but always worth a mention as they are usually very localized. Otherwise, evening firework shows should be fine. Winds should be light out of the S. Overnight lows should fall into the 60s statewide.

An early look at next week indicates rain in the Tuesday-Wednesday period followed by a heat wave to close out the week. Let’s revisit Sunday for next week’s outlook. Everyone have a great holiday weekend and please be safe! JC
