FORECAST
Overnight: Expect a mostly cloudy and exceptionally mild overnight ahead across the area, with temperatures only dropping to a low near 69.
Next Week: The heat takes center stage as the new work week kicks off. High temperatures in the Newark metro area will surge well into the 80s, bringing the hottest weather the area has experienced since last summer. Under the strong May sun, the UV Index will rise to a level 8. It is highly recommended to wear sunscreen and protect your skin if you are outdoors, particularly during peak sun strength between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Mid-Week Relief: The unseasonably warm stretch holds steady until Wednesday of next week, which brings the next distinct chance for rain. A passing cold front will introduce a risk of thunderstorms, but it also delivers some welcome relief—ushering in much cooler, more comfortable temperatures for the end of the week and next weekend.
