Warm and Unsettled

Discussion: Not too many changes in the evolution of this weekend’s forecast. We still have a slow-moving linear area of convergence that should push across NJ from NW to SE and meet up with a weak coastal disturbance. Not much interaction and if anything a drying out of air between which should benefit Friday night from what could have been a very rainy/stormy night. Instead, Friday night rain and storms look isolated/spotty across NNJ rather than widespread. This area of rain is still expected to then push SE into the rest of NJ (CNJ and SNJ) for Saturday and clear out sometime Sunday morning. Once clear (by late Sunday morning), Sunday should see a lull in rain for a few hours at least. With lower humidity, this should feel nice. More rain and storms could then return for Sunday night into Monday.   

Forecast

Friday (June 6) high temperatures should max out in the 85-90 range with a humid feel. Coasties could hang in the 75-80 range. Skies should be mixed with sun, clouds, showers, and possibly thunderstorms (mainly PM hours and favoring NNJ). Shower and thunderstorm action should be isolated-to-scattered if realized. Winds should be light-to-breezy out of the S/SE, breeziest along the SENJ coasts. Overnight lows should only fall back to the mid-60s as more rain and thunderstorms push through NJ from NW to SE.

Saturday (June 7) high temperatures should range from 75-80 for most NJ locations with a continued humid feel. Skies should be mostly cloudy with more rain and thunderstorms likely, mainly for afternoon/early evening hours but most of the day is on the hook for clouds and spotty showers. Winds should be light out of the SW. Overnight lows should fall back to the 55-65 range NNJ to SNJ.

Sunday (June 8) high temperatures should only reach the 70-80 range with less humidity. Should feel amazing under sunny skies (eventually). Some leftover rain and clouds could linger in the morning, especially for SNJ/SENJ. But the day should eventually break nice for a few hours before more rain and storms possibly return for PM hours. Winds should be light-to-breezy out of the E. Overnight lows should fall back to the 55-60 range for most NJ locations.

An early look at next week (June 9-13) indicates a mixed bag of sun, clouds, showers and thunderstorms. Most temps look to reach the 75-80 range every day. Let’s take a closer look in a few days. Have a great weekend and please be safe! JC
