YESTERDAY’S HIGH: 86 LOW: 71 PRECIPITATION: .04″
Yesterday we only had some light showers as some parts of southern New Jersey received over 3 inches of rain.
The weak front in our area will still give us a chance of heavy rain this morning with only a chance of showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. High temperatures with the clouds will only be in the 80s, but dew points remain high with readings in the low 70s. Tonight will be partly cloudy and continued muggy.
Drier but hotter weather for Sunday as the front that has been in our area dissipates and high pressure builds into the area. Temperatures will rise to the low 90s, dew points will be in the upper 60s to near 70.
Very hot weather Monday and Tuesday with only a chance of afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. Highs both days will be well up into the 90s and with dew points in the low 70s will cause heat indexes to rise past 100 degrees.
A cold front will cross the area Wednesday night accompanied by more of a chance of widespread showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon and at night. Temperatures and humidity will remain high during the day.
Chance of a lingering shower on Thursday but it will be cooler and less humid as high pressure builds into the area. Friday looks to be a dry and pleasant day with temperatures even a bit below normal.
