Synopsis:
This will be the last day of this miserable weather. It is also the last day of Spring- I guess we can say good riddance? Summer arrives tomorrow at 11:54am EDT and conditions will be improving right around that time!
The threat of scattered showers and storms will be with us through early Friday as a stationary front continues to make it’s home over the region. The rain maybe torrential at times. A Flash Flood Watch is back in effect for parts of NJ (1st map above). If you encounter a flooded roadway- TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN. It won’t be raining constantly and the sun may shine for a time this afternoon.
There is also a threat of severe thunderstorms, especially West of the City, later today and this evening. Keep an eye to the sky for threatening weather after 3pm.
A cool front will finally move through and break the pattern by Friday. Morning showers should give way to afternoon sun.
The first weekend of Summer will be spectacular. Sunny skies, warm temperatures and low humidity will be with us as high pressure moves in.
Summery weather will greet us for the beginning of the workweek.
Stay tuned.
Keep it here for a no nonsense, no hype forecast.
