The weather pattern hasn’t changed much. Dry air remains anchored firmly over the area. There was a weak system that passed through very early Thursday morning. Even a few raindrops were measured in northwestern New Jersey. But despite the morning drips and drizzle, the state is closing in on an all-time record dry stretch.

The only noticeable change in the forecast was in the temperature - 70s and 80s have been pushed south with this front and replaced with a slightly more seasonable airmass. Temperatures today were in the 60s and low-70s (Normal is 64).

TONIGHT: Winds will slowly settle down this evening. With clear skies and less wind expect nighttime lows to dip to the 30s and 40s.

COMING UP: Sunny skies tomorrow and through the weekend. A bit cooler, with more autumnal air moving in. Highs in the 50s and 60s.

Guidance continues to paint a bleak (dry) weather forecast for the region possibly lingering into the first week of November. Not only would this break the consecutive stretch of dry days but it would obliterate it.
