FORECAST:
There was a little extra frost on the Frosted Flakes this morning in parts of northwest New Jersey. Widespread morning lows dipped into the 30s and 40s. It wasn't a record-breaking start to the day. It probably wasn't even cold enough to keep your middle schooler from wearing shorts to school, but it was our first real taste of autumn air.
The winds are changing direction, and this will allow for temperatures to settle back to where they should be for this time of year. Skies will be clear again tonight. There will be a hint of a breeze, but the wind direction will help keep the air from getting too cold.
Thursday looks wonderful. The skies will be a brilliant blue again. The winds will be breezy and from the west-southwest. This will help warm us into the mid- and upper 70s.
The remainder of the week remains sunny and dry. Afternoon highs will again be in the low to mid 70s, but change will slowly be underway heading into the weekend.
The weekend weather offers changes, especially Saturday with the arrival of thin clouds that gradually lower and thicken into Sunday. Sunday degrades from morning to night as a plume of moisture from current Tropical Storm Isaias gets absorbed into the jet stream. The tropical storm itself is not directly impacting us in a traditional sense, but the moisture associated with it will send downpours our way. These downpours on Sunday night into Monday morning will create possible areas of flooding.
