Will Thursday’s Warm Weather in New Jersey Be Short-Lived?

Will Thursday’s Warm Weather in New Jersey Be Short-Lived?

Thursday will be nice and sunny, but during the weekend it gets colder and wetter.

Forecasters from the National Weather Service predict that any remaining showers from Wednesday night will taper off early, with patchy fog forming overnight as moisture builds near the surface.
Thursday is predicted to be the warmest day of the week, with highs in the mid- to upper 70s throughout most of the state and possibly as high as 80 degrees in some areas along the Interstate 95 corridor.

On Thursday, northwest winds are expected to reach 10 to 15 mph, with afternoon gusts of up to 20 mph.

The minimum relative humidity will be between 30% and 35% away from the shore.

According to the meteorological service, a cold front is expected to move south through the area on Friday, bringing with it a noticeable chill with highs mostly in the 60s to about 70 degrees.

Friday afternoon could see a few showers, but otherwise it should be mostly dry.

According to the National Weather Service, forecast guidance frequently fails to account for the kind of cold front that is predicted for Friday. It is also possible that the front will pass through more quickly than anticipated, which could lead to even lower temperatures.

A wave of low pressure that forms over the Great Lakes region on Friday night and moves toward New Jersey throughout the weekend is the primary weather story for the weekend.

Rainfall is predicted to be widespread, with Saturday afternoon and evening being the most likely times. Rainfall is predicted to be between 0.5 and 1.0 inches north of the Trenton area and between 0.1 and 0.5 inches in southern New Jersey.

With highs only in the upper 40s to early 50s, Saturday will be a gloomy, wet, and raw day.
The speed at which the low pressure system passes across the area is still somewhat unpredictable; some forecasts indicate that it will leave by Sunday, while other models predict that it will remain in the area through Sunday night.

Temperatures are expected to improve on Sunday, reaching the mid-50s to mid-60s. However, depending on the timing of the departing storm system, lingering showers may still occur.

It is anticipated that dry and warmer weather will return by early next week, with highs returning to almost average levels for late April. Check the latest forecast.
