Storm Watch Team Meteorologist Dave Curren says New Jersey residents should be prepared for wet weather for most of Saturday.
Curren says New Jersey will go from a deficit of rain to a surplus. He says east winds will push a lot of Ocean water toward the shore. There is a coastal flood watch in effect for Saturday, especially at night during a high tide cycle.
A wind advisory will also be in effect for Saturday as wind gusts could reach 25-30 mph and even up to 50 mph along the coastline.
Saturday will continue to see periods of rain throughout the day with temperatures in the low-50s. The rain is expected to stop by the evening hours, with cloudy skies remaining. Temperatures will be in the upper-40s.
Mother's Day Sunday will see cloudy to partly clear skies as temperatures reach into the low-60s.
Warmer temperatures are expected for the upcoming week with the potential to reach into the 80s by next weekend.
