Synopsis:
The heat wave will continue for one more day as the heat dome over the Mid-Atlantic weakens. Today will be day 8 of the heat wave for most areas and our stretch of 90º+ will end on Friday. It’s about time.
An area of low pressure on Friday will give the area a decent shot of rain and storms with cooler readings. A Flash Flood Watch has been posted for Central and Southern NJ for the threat of heavy rain on Friday Morning that could lead to flooding. The steadiest rain will move out of the area around Mid-day.
The better half of the weekend looks to be Saturday as another weak low may give the region showers and storms on Sunday. Sunday’s forecast isn’t clear cut at this time it could be rain-free. Stay tuned.
