Summer warmth ends as scattered showers arrive tonight in New Jersey

Saturday is great with pleasant temperatures and dry weather, but Sunday offers rain chances across southern and eastern counties of the state. Some light rain may reach central New Jersey.

FORECAST:

Today's weather is unusually warm for this time of year. Combined with the humidity, it feels like a summer day with highs near 84 degrees. There will be a mixture of sun and clouds for the mid-afternoon. A line of showers will break up as they arrive to New Jersey this evening between 5PM and midnight. The showers themselves won't hit every community, but some will see a brief round of rain that lasts just under an hour. The line itself exits the Jersey Shore near midnight.

The humidity lowers and temperatures return to a mild feel for Saturday. Highs reach the mid-70s under a partly sunny sky for the mid-afternoon. Since Saturday is good, Sunday offers more clouds - probably an overcast across New Jersey, and rain showers south and east. Most of the Saturday rain remains in New Jersey's southern counties and coastline. However, there could be a few fringe showers reaching as far north as Somerset, southern Morris, Union, and Hudson counties.

There isn't much concern for heavy rain with this in central New Jersey. St most, southern zones receive up to 0.5" of rainfall. Other locations should end up with 0.25" of rain. Monmouth and Ocean counties may need the umbrella at times as this weather system skirts by. The rain should start at 11AM and linger throughout the afternoon before turning broken for the evening.
