Rainy, dreary first weekend half. Count on using your umbrella on and off this morning and after 3 p.m. A drier midday break is great for central and northern NJ. But, in the late afternoon, pop-up rumbles and rain showers return to central and southern New Jersey. Cooler temperatures after 6 p.m. with winds staying active overnight and into Sunday afternoon.

Sunday looks good with more sunshine! Next week, even better with sunshine through Thursday and temperatures rising above normal towards mid - upper 80s.

TODAY & TONIGHT: Cloudy with a few showers in the morning and late afternoon - night. Highs near 74. Overnight lows 50.

SUNDAY: Highs near 71. Overnight lows near 53.

MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Breezy. Highs near 77. Overnight lows 54.

TUESDAY: Partly sunny with showers in the evening. Highs near 82. Overnight lows 58.
