This mornings three day precipitation total maps, shown above, for western New Jersey shows some much needed rain in the forecast. While no one wants to see rain on the weekend, this is much needed rain for our area. This rain will be the result of a slow moving cold front that will end the early summer warmth in May and bring us closer to reality for this time of year. Some showers and thundershowers could start as early as saturday afternoon. The most active part looks to be Saturday night into Sunday.
