Synopsis:
High pressure will continue to sit over the Southeast and pump up a Summery airmass through tomorrow. Today looks to be the hottest day as some areas will peak at 90º. The record at Central Park is 91º set in 2001. It’ll be close. The average high is in the mid 60s.
A Red Flag Warning has been issued central and Southern NJ. The combination of gusty winds, very low relative humidity and dry grounds may set the stage for any wildfires that develop to quickly get out of control and become difficult to contain. Please use caution outdoors with flammables.
Friday will be another July-like day with highs well into the 80s.
A cool front will move through Friday night (basically precipitation free) ending our July-like weather. More comfortable temperatures will be with us for the upcoming weekend. Saturday looks dry but by Saturday night and Sunday most of the computer models now develop a wave of low pressure along the dying cool front to the South. The chance of showers is now in the forecast for Saturday Night and Sunday.
Stay tuned.
