After a somewhat cloudy/foggy start early Monday morning, today will turn out to be a wonderful Columbus Day weatherwise. Mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the mid 70’s is nearly 10 degrees above normal for this time of year!
Tuesday will be very similar but a chillier start. Low temperatures Tuesday morning will be near 40. I’m sure some of the normally colder locations to the north and west could be in the upper 30’s. Afternoon temperatures will recover nicely but not be as warm as Monday with highs in the mid 60’s. We should start to see some increasing high clouds in the afternoon ahead of our next weather system.
Wednesday looks to be our next big weather system for the week. Rain showers should arrive on Wednesday morning and become heavy at times in the afternoon into the evening. Right now it looks like we could receive around 1″ of much-needed rain for western New Jersey.
Speaking of dry weather, the above map shows the latest drought monitor for New Jersey. All of western New Jersey remains in the abnormally dry, D0 rating. While not as bad as a few weeks ago, we are still on the dry side. Wednesday’s rain should be a big help as long as it doesn’t come down too fast and runoff.
End Of Week Into The Weekend
Once the Wednesday/Thursday morning storm moves away, it will usher down gusty winds and much colder temperatures. Thursday looks to be a blustery day with high temperatures not getting out of the 50’s. Friday should recover somewhat and we should get to near seasonable high temperatures. Right now we look to have another great weather-wise weekend with partly to mostly sunny skies and dry weather with seasonable temperatures.
