Synopsis:
A stationary front stalled just to our South will be responsible for periods of rain this morning. By afternoon drier air will work down from New England giving the area a brief respite from the wet weather. In fact, if we’re lucky, the sun may make an appearance. Readings will be near seasonal averages- around 70º.
The stationary front that has been plaguing the region all week will become a warm front and move toward the area on Friday. The rain will work from South to North during the day. Areas North of the City may remain rain-free for the majority of the day (this still has to be ironed out). The ingredients are there for the potential of more heavy rain later in the day Friday and into Saturday. A Flood Watch has been posted for many areas of NJ (map above).
At this time the weekend looks unsettled periods of rain on Saturday and a slight chance on Sunday. Sunday looks to be the drier and warmer of the two days at this time.
