The Bottom Line After so many days and weeks of beautiful weather, there is a lot going on in this weather forecast. Friday features a taste of real sultry, stormy weather. High temperatures soar to 90, as humidity creeps upward.
We will have to watch the sky later on, as a cold front sparks a line of strong to severe thunderstorms. The Father's Day Weekend — also the last weekend of Spring, by the way — looks fantastic. Humidity goes away, the sun comes out, and both Saturday and Sunday stay completely dry.
And you think Friday is hot and steamy, just wait until next week. New Jersey is going to broil with anywhere from 5 to 9 days of 90+ degree temperatures. We might even hit 100 somewhere.
With high humidity too. Air conditioners at the ready! Friday There are three things to talk about in Friday's forecast: Heat and humidity, poor air quality, and thunderstorms. Let's dive in.
Friday morning is beautiful. Hazy sunshine, with temperatures mainly in the 60s. The vast majority of the day will be fair.
Just hot and moderately humid. High temperatures are expected to reach about 90 degrees. A bit cooler at the Jersey Shore, thanks to a sea breeze.
(Heads up for beach-goers: An elevated risk of rip currents is posted for today, likely to continue through the weekend.) An Air Quality Alert - Code Orange has been issued for 13 New Jersey counties Friday. Basically along the NJ Turnpike corridor.
When temperatures get this hot, the concentration of ground-level ozone increases.
