The Bottom Line Of the last 14 days, 11 had temperatures of 90+ degrees somewhere in New Jersey. A hot stretch of weather that has finally broken. Friday will be a beautiful weather day, thanks to delicious dry air.
Saturday will be less beautiful, as humidity and clouds build back in. We will see rain eventually, but I think it holds off until late-day. Sunday will not be beautiful.
Tropical humidity. And the risk for a few strong thunderstorms. Monday brings us back into beautiful weather territory, as humidity plummets once again to start July.
Let's dig into the details more closely, so you can plan your weekend and beyond. Friday Drop dead gorgeous. New Jersey's current air mass is ridiculously dry.
Dew points are hovering around 50 — that is very rare for summertime. Dry air allows for cooler overnight temperatures. So it is a comfortable start to the day, with 40s (!!!) in the northwest hills, 50s across North Jersey, and 60s for the southern half of the state.
Expect lots of sunshine, with occasional fair-weather clouds through Friday afternoon. Along with a light breeze and completely dry weather. High temperatures will reach about 80 degrees, give or take.
Yes, that means some parts of the state — specifically north and coast — will be stuck in the 70s. Is that too cool for a beach day? No way — the sunshine will make it feel wonderfully warm. Friday night stays quiet and dry.
Not quite as cool as Thursday night, as clouds and humidity start to increase. But.
