With respect to weather conditions on Wednesday we look for a good deal of sunshine for much of the day. It will be warm and more humid ahead of the next cold front. No showers are forecast until overnight Wednesday night until about day break on Thursday. Wednesday’s highs will be in the mid to upper 80s. Then on Thursday once the front moves offshore a big high builds in from the north. Thursday will be warm but with dropping humidity and developing sunshine. Highs in the low to mid 80s. Then Friday and Saturday look good with lots of sunshine. Highs in the mid to upper 70s and lows in the 50s to near 60.

Sunday we will see some question marks because by then a tropical storm will be offshore based on the latest weather model runs. At this stage it appears that the system now known as Tropical Depression 9 will be offshore by several hundred miles. This will add to rough sea conditions. As to the weather on land there could be cloud issues depending on the wind. Highs will be in the 70s. Right now it DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A DIRECT THREAT TO NEW JERSEY…AND THIS IS NOT JUST LIKE SANDY!

The map above is the GFDL model at 2am Monday when the system makes its closest pass to New Jersey. Again this is only an issue regarding high surf and rip currents if this model is correct. There are still some variables to consider and we tackle that on our latest JOESTRADAMUS post.
