Wave of warmth headed towards New Jersey

Record-breaking temperatures are possible this week as a taste of summer emerges. Secondarily, New Jersey needs a good rain amount but it doesn't look like there will be any precipitation in the forecast over the coming week.

From a mid-March feel over the weekend to suddenly summer this week. Spring is bringing all the seasonal twists and turns of a good novel thriller.

The overnight will be mainly clear. The winds will be light but out of a favorable direction. Overnight temperatures are exactly where the daytime high temperatures should be for this time of year.

Tuesday will feature mainly sunny skies. The winds will be breezy and from the south, southwest. This will launch the temperatures into the low 80s. This is the first time since the first of the month that New Jersey has been this warm.

Wednesday could be a record breaker. The question is could it be the first time that the state sees the high temperature reach 90 this year? If the conditions are perfect, mainly sunny and more of a south wind, then it can happen. If there is a few more clouds lingering around? New Jersey may just get to the upper 80s. The record is 88 degrees set back in 1960. The forecast sees 87 as of Monday evening but it may switch if the newer computer guidance comes into the weather office.
