FORECAST:
The weather pattern is about to change and we'll finally see some rain. Things will then turn colder for next week. The much-anticipated rainfall will finally come to fruition starting tomorrow.
As a cold front approaches, showers are possible early, and then they'll be on and off for the rest of the day. Temperatures will stay warm with highs in the 70s again, just not as warm as Wednesday.
The cold front will slowly drift through the state on Friday with another round of rain. This could be heavier and steadier. The timing is overnight and into Friday morning. There is some uncertainty with the placement of the front, and that will dictate where the heavier rain will fall. The best chance at seeing heavier rain will be along the eastern side of the state.
As of now, flooding isn't a big concern for New Jersey, but if we do see heavier rain early Friday, that could change.
Watch for wet leaves and wet roads. The combination of the two can make driving and even walking a bit hazardous. It's been over two weeks without rain, so use caution. Be prepared for the damp weather and poor visibility.
Cooler and more seasonable 60-degree temperatures settle in for the weekend. Then we have 50s coming our way next week.
