Slightly cooler than normal this week but warmer weather awaits.
Continued cool weather will carry on thru the week. Mid-week rains are beneficial, and our forecasting fingers are crossed for a round of spectacular warmth this time next week.

Passing showers earlier this morning left the atmosphere damp and cool. Daytime highs struggled to just get into the low 60s. (Typical daytime high is usually around 72 degrees). The weather system responsible for the gloom is just offshore, but slowly moving away. The weather will gradually improve through the overnight, and the temperatures should fall to where they would normally be for this time of year, or maybe just a few degrees shy of average.
Tuesday will be filled with sunnier skies. Fair weather will be nudging in from the Great Lakes. New Jersey will be on the front side of that weather system, so the winds will generally be from the northwest. It's a drier, slightly cooler wind. Afternoon highs will be pleasant but slightly cooler than normal in the mid-60s.
Clouds will begin to collect on Wednesday. Generally speaking, the day should be rain-free until much later in the afternoon or evening hours. On-and-off rain showers and possibly a few thunderstorms may bring down another beneficial rainfall. The only issue I can see is that some of that storminess might linger into the Thursday morning commute to work and school.
A quick look at the upcoming weekend forecast. It looks dry for now. It also looks warm, and possibly getting much warmer into early next week.
