Late night storms could be a problem for early morning commuters.
Skies are cloudy and the air is damp for tonight. More storms are likely moving in after midnight but will likely be less impactful as yesterday's storms were. The weather finally settles and it is looking FINE for the weekend.

We are almost through with this unsettled forecast for New Jersey. The last few days have been quite stormy. Last night's lightning show was one of the better ones I have seen in years. While the weather is relatively quiet for now, more storms will develop much later tonight. Some of the stronger cells could be severe. Right now, I think any more rain could tip the flooding scales not in our favor.
Tonight is overcast and humid. Showers and storms will march through after midnight and will hopefully be moving away from the area right around daybreak. While the forecast isn't looking overly potent, more rain could create some flooding issues for Thursday morning. Allow yourself extra time in the routine for potential delays.
The weather will finally settle starting Thursday afternoon. Skies will be partly cloudy. The air is still very humid. Temperatures will make a run into the mid to possibly upper 80s. It will feel like it is in the mid 90s. THAT is the temperature you need to prepare for. As a result, the National Weather Service has issued a heat alert for a few counties.
Friday will also feel much warmer because of the lingering humidity and afternoon highs reaching into the mid-80s. At the moment, I don't see an opportunity for any storms to develop during the time frame. We are going to sail into the holiday weekend on a gentle breeze, calm seas and comfortably warm temperatures.
