Synopsis:.
A balmy Southerly wind will prevail (with readings getting into the 70s over NJ by late aftn.) and this ain’t no joke for April Fool’s Day. Much of the afternoon will be dry with the sun winning the battle for a while. As a strong cold front will approach this evening showers and a few thunderstorms are possible. Some of the storms maybe isolated severe with winds in excess of 58mph. Much of the region has been upgraded to an enhanced threat of severe thunderstorms- a level 3 out of 5. Please keep an eye to the sky for threatening weather later in the day between 5pm-9pm.
Any showers and storms will taper off around midnight. All areas will remain above freezing.
Sunday will be the cooler half of the weekend with a Canadian airmass moving in, at least it’ll be sunny.
Temperatures will rebound nicely on Monday and Tuesday as high pressure moderates and the sun dominates.
A warm Wednesday is on tap. A mix of sun and clouds is expected with a chance of afternoon showers.
Stay tuned.
Keep it here for a no nonsense, no hype forecast.
