These storms eventually move offshore and will taper by noon. However, lighter yet steady rain still is expected to hit the coastline.
Temperatures remain warm and muggy throughout the rest of the day where it changes tomorrow. Humidity lowers, and the wind picks up from the west. A brief windswept sprinkle falls in northwestern and northern NJ near the NY border in the evening.
