Humidity Returns Sunday as Storm Chances Increase Across New Jersey

New Jersey enjoyed a comfortable stretch of late‑summer weather on Saturday, but the break from humidity will be short‑lived. A warmer, moisture‑heavy air mass is set to move in Sunday, bringing sticky conditions that will linger through Tuesday.

Clouds will thicken through the morning as humidity rises, setting the stage for scattered showers and thunderstorms Sunday afternoon and evening across parts of the region — including communities around Toms River. These storms are expected to be hit‑or‑miss, with brief downpours possible where they develop.

Forecasters say the unsettled pattern will continue into early next week, with additional rounds of showers and thunderstorms possible Monday and Tuesday as the muggy air remains in place. At this time, no severe thunderstorms are expected through Tuesday, though any storm could still produce heavy rain or lightning.

Temperatures will climb into the upper 70s and low 80s, but the returning humidity will make it feel warmer and more uncomfortable, especially during the afternoon hours.
