Before the cooler more seasonable weather gets here we have one more day of hot humid weather. The Heat Advisory continues today along with the chance of some thundershowers later this afternoon and evening.
With the arrival of the cooler temperatures there could be some showers from time to time.
We continue to watch the tropics. Warm and humid weather does look to make a return middle of next week but not as bad as what we are experiencing now.
The NWS has just issued a heat advisory for southern sections of western New Jersey thru most of the day on Saturday. We will hopefully see some relief from the heat and the humidity starting Sunday afternoon.
Some of the short range computer models are starting to hint there could be scattered thundershowers this afternoon starting as early as 3 pm. Be on the lookout for those if the skies turn stormy. We need all the rain we can get!
