WHAT TO KNOW
A developing dip in the upper-level winds will allow some more clouds to collect for Saturday and also drag the temperatures back down into the mid- and upper 60s. It will be a brief cooldown. A very large ridge of warmth in the Midwest will advance in New Jersey's direction for the end of the weekend into next week.

Rain has been scarce this year. The drought continues to become more of an issue with each day passing and no measurable rain falls. Presently, the state's rain deficit ranges from 4" to over 12" in Sussex Passaic, and Bergen counties.

It looks like there could be some beneficial, but not drought-busting, rains in the future early next week.
