Rain South Jersey Today Chance For Showers Tonight & Wednesday

But Dry Again Late Week & Weekend

We have another one of these upside down days where if you are north of New York City and Long Island you will see partly sunny to mostly cloudy conditions and temperatures topping out in the upper 70s. However if you are in Southern New Jersey and points southward today you are dealing with clouds and rain from a low near coastal North Carolina. Temperatures in this zone will settle in the upper 60s and lower 70s for highs. We have see several of these types of days in the last few weeks and that is due to the onshore flow that has been dominant here since late August.

WEATHER RADAR

While the radar is busy from Southern New Jersey south to Coastal North Carolina, the rotation on radar and satellite loops suggest that northward progress of this system will be rather slow. Eventually the low associated with this rain will weaken and we will likely see the areas of rain weaken as well overnight and Wednesday. It is during this time frame that some patches of rain could make it further north to Extreme Southern New England and the lower Hudson Valley as well as New York City and Long Island.

Wednesday will be a cloudy day with patches of rain from time to time and from place to place. The rain will not be continuous. Highs will be in the upper 60s and lower 70s. Rainfall amounts will range from a quarter of an inch or less from Northern New Jersey, New York City, Long Island and points northward while to the south in Southern New Jersey we are looking at three quarters of an inch to as much as an inch or so in some coastal locations.

Weather conditions should begin to improve Thursday and it should be dry Friday and through the weekend. We will warm up back through the 70s Thursday and reach the lower 80s Friday ahead of a dry cold front. Then it is back to an onshore flow for the weekend with sunshine both Saturday and Sunday. It will be cooler with most highs over the weekend in the low to middle 70s.
