The National Hurricane Center says Subtropical Storm Josephine has formed in the Atlantic Ocean, about 300 miles southeast of Atlantic City. The storm has winds of 65 mph and is expected to strengthen as it moves farther away from the U.S.
FORECAST:
The forecast is on the rinse-and-repeat cycle right through the weekend. Fair weather is anchored over the northeast. A coastal storm just 300 miles off the Jersey shoreline will continue to throw large waves at the shore, allowing wave action to take away large amounts of sand from the beaches. Forecasting fingers crossed that by Friday this offshore storm will be moving away faster, alleviating the bombardment of waves.
Tonight will be clear and cool. Breezy winds along the shore keep nighttime lows in the mid-40s. Away from the coast, the winds lessen. The temperatures will get much colder. Likely in the low to mid 30s
Thursday is still sunny. Still breezy in most places, and again the temperatures should be seasonable in the mid-to-upper 60s.
Cut and paste the above for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Take advantage of this fabulously boring forecast. The weather will not interfere with any outdoor plans. The colors are beginning to "pop" in northwest New Jersey. Head to a local farm and support small businesses. Apple cider doughnuts taste better when the sun is shining on the weekend.
