A few widely scattered showers and storms will dot the state through Tuesday evening and then move out overnight. The sky will stay mostly cloudy, so chances of seeing the Perseid meteor shower overnight aren't that great.

It will feel less humid by Wednesday afternoon, so the morning will be a bit muggy. Look for more sunshine during the day. The change in the forecast is good news for eclipse viewers. Even though the solar eclipse as seen from New Jersey will be minor and shallow, the weather looks like it will cooperate around 1 p.m.

There is a risk of showers and a few thunderstorms heading into Thursday and during the day on Thursday but they don't look very widespread at this point.

The weather pattern will change heading into Friday. That's when the humidity drops and the weather looks dry and much more comfortable for Friday on into the weekend.
