It's cold. The day's temperatures are running colder than normal due to the northerly winds that blew across the state. This brought cold but very dry air as well. The low humidity is dangerous for the spread of fires, but at least the colder temperatures and the wind help to slow the spread contrasted to when the weather is warmer and when the wind is stronger.

Today's high will be in the upper 40s under a cloudy sky. The normal temperature for today is 56 degrees, so we are trending colder.

There is a COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY in effect for the high tide cycle this evening as tidal piling takes place. The winds are parallel to the shore so the water cannot fully drain through low tide cycles as this causes the high tide to run a bit higher than normal. This is combined with the Full Moon as well.

The clouds usher in a sprinkle to South Jersey overnight, but the front dries up as it approaches and passes through tonight.

Tomorrow's weather will be warmer as a result with decreasing clouds and emerging sunshine for midday.

Highs for Friday will be 60 degrees and the threat for the spread of wildfires is elevated due to the warmer weather, the sunshine, breezy conditions, and low humidity. There will be winds form the northwest to west at 15-20 mph through the day accompanied with the low humidity to create this elevated hazard.

The sun shines through the weekend with highs near 62 degrees.

It remains fair into Sunday with highs near 63.

The next chance for measurable rain is on Monday, but at only 0.15 inches total, it is still not enough to make a difference to the environment.

Tropical Depression 19 will soon intensify to Tropical Storm Sara and will make impacts to Central America before drifting into the Gulf of Mexico through early next week. Here, the storm has potential to be absorbed or pushed by a front. It could impact the Big Bend of Florida and move up the east coast to deliver rain to New Jersey by the end of next week - Thursday afternoon and Friday. It is still a possibility and not a guarantee, but this would be the next chance for some significant rain if this track holds true. We'll be watching for any changes.
