Weekend Starts Beautiful Ends Wet (May 29-31)

We should stay warm and summery for the first half of the weekend but then a low pressure disturbance and cold front will move through. This should bring rain to the region between Sunday and Monday before setting up a much cooler week. Let’s break it down:

Friday should reach well into the 80s inland and possibly just the 70s along the shore. Humidity should be reduced with a mixed bag of sun and clouds. Winds should be light out of the SE. Overnight lows should fall into the 60s statewide.

Saturday should reach well into the 80s for everyone except the immediate coast. Along the beach might just top out at 80. Humidity should be back with just a small chance of isolated showers and t-storms. Winds will be light out of the S/SW. Overnight lows should bottom out in the mid-60s statewide.

Sunday should just top out around 80 statewide. The day might start dry and nice but eventually clouds and rain will move in and last through Monday. Winds should be breezy out of the W. Overnight lows should drop into the 40s (NWNJ) and 50s (rest of New Jersey).

An early look at next week indicates that rain will end sometime on Monday followed by a cooler week and warmer weekend—all looking dry and sunny. Hopefully this Sunday-Monday’s rain will be as widespread as possible to combat the developing drought for parts of NNJ and CNJ.
