After a bright and warm Monday and Tuesday for the area, a couple of weather fronts will be changing our weather for the second half of this week...
The position of this weather front will separate the 80-degree temperatures and 70-degree temperatures this afternoon. This front will also produce some showers and thunderstorms as well.

As of this post, based on the early morning weather maps, the best chance for 80 temperatures will be in Warren, Morris, Union, Essex, Hudson, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, and Monmouth counties and points south in NJ, where more sun is expected before some rain arrives later today.
Farther north, for the rest of NJ, including NYC and Long Island, the sun will me more limited, keeping temperatures in check, holding in the lower 70s or so, before the wet weather arrives.
Any slight shift north with this front will warm more areas to 80 degrees, and keep the rain away...

Tonight has a continued chance for showers and thunderstorms, with lows dropping into the 50s once again for much of the area,

Thursday will see a significant drop in temperatures, as that weather front will drop through the entire area -- keeping the skies mainly cloudy, with some drizzle or light rain possible.

Another weather system will bring a heavier rain and windy conditions, with thunderstorms possible, Thursday night into Friday.
Friday's temperatures will top out in the lower 60s.

The weekend will dry out, with cool temperatures in the 50s to around 60 degrees, along with a brisk breeze.

Weather front will likely keep NJ metro cooler Wednesday


Latest update: 4/9/2013 -- 5:40pm

Weather update: Temperatures were "the balm"(y) today -- with readings between 80-85 for much of the area...

Temperatures are likely to be a little cooler tomorrow if a weather front is close enough to the area to give us more clouds, and maybe even a few afternoon showers... This is especially true for northern NJ/ NYC and Long Island...
If this weather system stays farther north than anticipated, most of NJ/NYC/ Long Island will see more sun, and 80+ highs once again away from the coast, and the showers would stay away...
Let's pray...

More updates as they are needed.



Warm weather again for the Garden state

After a nice start to the work-week, weather conditions will be summer-like again for Tuesday as well.
Skies will be mostly sunny for much of the day, and temperatures are expected to reach 80 degrees for locations away from the coast, with 60s along the shore.

Tonight will see some clouds -- and there is a slight chance (20%) for a passing shower, particularly for areas in northern and western sections of New Jersey. Low temperatures will be mild once again, only dropping into the 50s for much of NJ/NYC and Long Island.

The latest weather maps are indicating a bit of a change for Wednesday...
A weather front will be in the vicinity of the NJ metro area. Exactly where this front positions itself will determine our weather conditions. At this time, areas in central and southern New Jersey have the best chance of reaching 80 degrees. For northern NJ, NYC and Long Island, more clouds are expected, and even a few afternoon showers could arrive, which might hold temperatures closer to 70 degrees. A better idea of the front will be known later today.

A stronger weather system will approach the area later Thursday. Mostly cloudy skies are expected... with high temperatures holding in the 60s.
Rain arrives Thursday evening or Thursday night, and continues into Friday morning.
Temperatures on Friday will top out in the 60s.

The weekend will dry out, with sunshine returning, and more seasonable readings in the 50s to around 60 degrees.

Another update will be posted later today on this changing weather pattern..
