Spring has been off to a slow start this year with cooler-than-normal temperatures, but starting this weekend, all of that changes. A summer-like preview is on the way with the 80s and even the 90s.
The UV Index will rise to level 8, which can cause skin damage and sunburn. It is important to wear sunscreen to protect your skin when outdoors this weekend. The sun will be strongest between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
High temperatures push to the 80s and 90s for inland areas in New Jersey. Shore points will be cooler with highs in the 60s and 70s because the ocean water temperature is in the lower to middle 50s. That's pretty cold! Swimming is dangerous and can cause hypothermia.
Clouds will roll through late Saturday night into early Sunday. There is a chance of seeing a light shower. Most of us will stay completely dry and the sun will return on Sunday.
Sunday looks a bit cloudier than Saturday, but temperatures will get hotter.
The next chance for rain is Wednesday of next week. There is a risk of thunderstorms as a cold front brings relief with cooler temperatures for the end of the week and next weekend.
