The daylit period of Saturday will be calm and cloudy ahead of evening rain that totals to near 0.5 inch by Sunday morning.

Windy weather continues ahead of a batch of Saturday evening rain that is expected to interrupt outdoor plans and travel from 5 p.m. through 2 a.m. Sunday. Beforehand, today's weather will be cool with sun and clouds. A breezy NW wind at 20-25 mph is expected, which is lower than yesterday's wind. A rogue sprinkle is possible but not promised.

The wind calms tonight into tomorrow, but clouds move in. Scattered rain arrives after 5 p.m. and steady rain arrives by 7 p.m. The moderate rain falls through the evening into the overnight, ending near 2 a.m. The rain totals to 0.3 - 0.5 inch by Sunday morning.

The wind picks up again on Sunday from the NW at 30-35 mph. Windswept flurries at the higher elevations and sprinkles in northern New Jersey are possible again due to the nature of the fast-moving clouds from the Great Lakes. The windy weather continues into next week with cool temperatures.
