Synopsis:
High pressure off the coast will continue to be warm weather maker. Readings will once reach the 70s both today and Thursday. Some areas today may flirt with 80º. The record for today for Central Park is 75º set in 2022. Newark’s record is 80º set in 1948. Both of these records maybe in jeopardy. A weakening cool front will move through on tonight, but the cooler air is well North and West of its passage. Friday will still be mild with sun.
Saturday will be more seasonable as the high to the Northwest brings the cooler airmass down. There is a chance of showers Sunday, but don’t hold your breath.
Wednesday could be the 37th consecutive day without measurable rainfall at Newark. The state’s drought continues to worsen. Conserve water and please use caution outdoors with flammables.
Stay tuned.
