A weather system is sliding through the state. As it continues its journey south, it will drag in less humid air from upstate New York and a very pleasant-feeling air mass. Temperatures this weekend are expected to be in the upper 70s and low 80s. Slightly cooler than normal, but just by a degree or two.
Saturday is filled with sunshine. The first thing you notice will be the lack of mugginess in the air. There could be a slight breeze, but that just makes the day feel more enjoyable. At the beaches, the tranquil weather will keep the ocean waves fairly flat. Running about 2 to 3 feet and a low risk of rip currents. The UV index will be strong. Lather up frequently with sunscreen. The comfortable breeze will give the false sense that your skin isn't burning, but it will be.
Clouds will collect Saturday night, and a few brief sprinkles or showers may drop north to south down the Jersey coastline. This is the only hiccup in the holiday forecast.
By Sunday, the sun is back. Temperatures for most, if not every community, in the state will be in the upper 70s. The norm for the beginning of September is 83 degrees. To round out the holiday weekend on Monday, sunshine is still shining and the temperatures will be back into the low-80s
