Cooler Start. Mild Finish (Oct 30-Nov 3)

Discussion: The storm has retreated northward into Canada after phasing and bringing significant rainfall and moderate winds to portions of New Jersey and especially New England. Behind this system will be a relatively cooler/cold air mass for the first half of the week. By Thursday we moderate back to warmer conditions heading into the weekend. No major storm systems are currently on the horizon.

Monday (Oct 30) high temperatures should reach the upper-50s/lower-60s statewide. Conditions should gradually clear and give way to at least partly sunny skies. Winds should be breezy-to-gusty out of the W. Overnight lows should fall into the 40s for most with NNJ elevations likely dipping into the 30s and coastal regions hanging near-50.

Tuesday (Oct 31) high temperatures should reach the upper-50s/lower-60s statewide. Skies should be mostly sunny. Winds should be light out of the W. Overnight lows should fall into the 30s for most with NNJ elevations possibly dipping into the 20s and coastal regions hanging in the lower-40s.

Wednesday (Nov 1) high temperatures should struggle to escape the 50s statewide. Skies should be partly sunny. Winds should be near-stationary, possibly light out of the SE for coastal areas. Overnight lows should fall into the 40s for most.

Thursday (Nov 2) high temperatures should reach the upper-60s/near-70 statewide. Skies should be partly-to-mostly sunny. Winds should be light-to-breezy out of the S. Overnight lows should only fall into the 50s for most.

Friday (Nov 3) high temperatures should range from upper-60s to lower-70s from S to N. Skies should be partly sunny with a small chance of afternoon showers. Winds should be light out of the W/NW. Overnight lows should fall into the 40s for most.

An early look at the weekend indicates cooler (highs in 50s/lows in 30s) and possibly cloudier conditions. Let’s take a closer look in a few days. Have a great week and please be safe! JC
