Unsettled Week Expected (May 2-6)

Almost every day looks the same this week. Cool with mixed-skies and possibly wet. Let’s break it down.

Monday (May 2) high temperatures should reach the 60s statewide. Skies should be partly sunny with rain showers possible, especially in the morning. Will have to watch thunderstorm potential along front running through SNJ later in the day/evening. Winds should be light out of the SW. Overnight lows should fall into the 50s (40s for NNJ elevations).

Tuesday (May 3) high temperatures should reach the low-to-mid 60s statewide. Skies should be mostly cloudy with rain showers possible. Winds should be light out of the NE. Overnight lows should fall into the 50s (40s for NNJ elevations).

Wednesday (May 4) high temperatures should reach the low-to-mid 60s statewide. Skies should be mixed with rain showers possible, especially in the afternoon. Winds should be light out of the E. Overnight lows should fall into the 40s (50s along the coast).

Thursday (May 5) high temperatures should reach the low-to-mid 60s statewide. Skies should be mostly cloudy with rain showers possible. Winds should be light out of the E. Overnight lows should fall into the 40s statewide.

Friday (May 6) high temperatures should reach into the 60s statewide. Skies should be partly sunny with rain showers possible. Winds should be light out of the E. Overnight lows should fall into the 40s (50s along the coast).

An early look at the weekend indicates more unsettled conditions as a possible nor’easter could impact the region with onshore flow and rain. After that, we should finally break into a warmer period of highs in the 70s/80s. Have a great week and be safe! JC
