Synopsis:
Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 1AM for Warren, Hunterdon, Morris, Middlesex, Somerset and Mercer counties. Severe thunderstorms contain winds in excess of 58mph and or one inch hail. A cool front will push through the region overnight. Isolated thunderstorms are possible, some of which maybe strong to severe.
Clouds will give way to sun on Tuesday. A flow off the cooler Atlantic will bring temperatures down to more seasonal levels, the upper 70s.
By Wednesday, another push of warm, humid air will work in under mostly sunny skies.
A cool front will approach Wednesday night and Thursday with scattered showers.
A weak tropical low will be off the coast on Friday. The potential is there for a few showers if the low is close enough. A mix of sun and clouds is expected.
By Saturday the atmosphere will dry out as high pressure builds into the region.
