Model guidance is now in strong agreement that rain activity over New Jersey will be limited over the holiday weekend. Meanwhile, a protective dome of high pressure to the north will restrict how far north that storm system will be able to progress. Memorial Day WeekendĪs we have discussed, the setup for this Memorial Day Weekend involves a strong coastal low pressure striking the Atlantic seaboard. FridayĪs highs warm into the lower 70s (away from the coast), under partly sunny skies, we will end the workweek with a pleasant day. And again, the cooldown will be short-lived this time around. Upwards of 10 degrees below normal for this time of year. High temperatures will be limited to the mid 60s or so. It will be somewhat breezy Thursday, although I like to call days like this refreshing. ThursdayĬooler air settles in, keeping NJ out of the 70s for one whole day. Some models do push out some 30s in NW NJ by daybreak Thursday - but that chill will only happen if skies clear and wind calms quickly enough. And then clearing skies overnight will allow temperatures to drop into the upper 40s on average. Some things to know about Wednesday evening's rain:ġ.) Total rainfall may exceed a quarter-inch.Ģ.) Rumbles of thunder are possible, but severe weather (wind, hail, tornado) is not expected.ģ.) Showers will likely fizzle out before reaching the southern coast.Ĥ.) Frontal passage will also be accompanied by some wind, gusting to 20-30 mph.īy Midnight at the latest, we will be completely dry.
