Synopsis:
A Heat Advisory is in effect for Mercer, Hudson, Eastern Essex and Eastern Union Counties through this evening. The combination of the high temperatures and humidity will make it feel like the upper 90s. Record highs have been broken or tied at many reporting stations. Newark hit 99º for a record.
A backdoor cold front will work through tonight. A spot storm is possible into early tonight. Some of the storms maybe strong to severe but they will be isolated. Relief from the heat will come on Wednesday. Temperatures will be near average and then fall below average with plenty sun Thursday as high pressure works in from Eastern Canada.
A shower threat will be upon us Friday and into Saturday as a moist Southerly flow takes hold. At this time it doesn’t look like a washout. Father’s Day will be warmer and more humid with stray storms.
Stay tuned.
