Stewartsville received a total of 1.60″ of rain in the last 24 hours ending at 7 am this morning. Most of that did come from the afternoon thunderstorm that rolled through. Not all areas of western New Jersey received that much rain but it was much needed.

Humidity is lower today but there is still room for improvement. An upper air disturbance will be moving through the area this afternoon. There will be more clouds than sun this afternoon and don’t be surprised to see a scattered shower. In one or two locations if could be a brief downpour but that will be the exception – not the rule

Overnight tonight we will have cooler temperatures and lower humidity with lows by Thursday morning in western NJ in the upper 50’s. So this will be an ideal night to view the annual Perseid’s meteor shower!

Thursday will be a great weather day. Things will start to warm up on Friday and there could be a scattered shower as the next round of warmer air approaches the region.
