The heat was on for Thursday with highs in the upper-80s and low-90s. Winds changed direction and are out of the west, which helped suppress the sea breeze a bit. Despite the warm weather, this was not record-breaking heat. The record for Newark was 92 degrees in 2001.

Winds come back onshore for tomorrow and high temperatures will only reach the 60s. The coast will see temperatures in the 50s. The clouds will also roll in and add to the cooler feel as well.

Rain will come back for the weekend. Saturday looks mainly dry to start but the afternoon will feature some light showers or sprinkles. Sunday will feature more of the rain and some steadier and heavier pockets. Temperatures will also be the coolest for Sunday.

Temperatures return to the 70s early next week. There will be a risk of showers and even thunderstorms on and off throughout the week.
