More hot weather for NJ metro

Latest post: 11:15pm -- 7/15/2013

The forecast is straightforward and to the point...

Hot afternoons and muggy nights will continue through the week.

Daytime highs will top out in the mid- to some upper 90s away from the shore, with area beaches reaching the upper 80s to around 90 degrees.

Much of the evening and overnight readings will remain between 80 and 85 degrees.

Relief for all of us arrives Saturday or Sunday with as strong weather front...
This could mean a wet weekend from time to time, but temperatures will "cool down" into the mid- and upper 80s by Sunday.
