Severe Weather Risk South Jersey Southward Heat Humidity On The Way
Yesterday’s cold front is just offshore with showers and thunderstorms out to the east in the ocean. We are not done yet however with the threat for scattered showers and thunderstorms as the upper air trough has still to clear the Northeast.
The Storm Prediction Center has general thunderstorm risk but they do have a marginal risk for severe weather in Southern New Jersey and Southeastern Pennsylvania and points southward. The satellite is showing lots of clouds around but there should be some breaks of sunshine developing as the day wears on. Then the upper trough triggers of showers and thunderstorms. That threat will last all day and then weather conditions will improve tonight as skies clear out. Temperatures today will be in the 70s to around 80 in warm spots depending on how much sun manages to break through the clouds.

On to the weekend where a hot humid stretch of weather begins and lasts through next Wednesday. Places away from the coast will be stringing together 4 to 6 days of 90 degree plus highs. We are looking at sunshine for Saturday, moderate levels of humidity, and highs reaching 85 to near 90 degrees in most places. Look for cooler temperatures at the shore where local sea breezes will take hold.
An upper ridge builds northward along the East Coast this weekend and holds into early next week so with sunshine Sunday, nothing should stop temperatures from reaching 90 to 95 across inland areas with 80s to near 90 in Southern New England and Long Island. We can pretty much wash rinse repeat this forecast through Tuesday as the upper ridge holds. Winds will have a westerly component rather than a southerly component and that should keep sea breezes confined to the immediate coast. As far as thunderstorms are concerned, the upper ridge will suppress downpour or thunderstorm formation through Tuesday other than perhaps some isolated cells that could form. Even if they do, they don’t last and you get caught in one, just wait a few minutes. The next cold front will drop southward from Eastern Canada and pass through late Wednesday with a shower or thunderstorm. It should turn a little cooler for Thursday and Friday of next week.
