NJFORECAST

27. All right, let's take a look outside right now. The shop from Newark. Oh, you can see off into the distance. One World Trade Center really nice today. Yeah, beautiful day. It's going downhill starting when tonight. See these clouds? These are the clouds that are the culprits. You know, the clouds are going to be getting thicker and thicker through the overnight. Although they're thin right now, the overnight conditions are going to feature rain showers arriving to the Garden State. So you'll see here by 8 o'clock tonight we end up on the mostly cloudy side. So unfortunately losing more of the sun in this week is going to be a dreary experience. Here's Tuesday's forecast showing you the chance of rain on the elevated side for tomorrow, you know, at least 50% chance of rain. Well, I will say that most places will deal with rain at some point for tomorrow. Here's the forecast showing you the chance of rain going into the overnight, scattered showers turning cloudy overnight, 60 degrees by tomorrow morning. The shower is definitely going to leave for a damp start. Not a terrible rain event. It's low impact, but it's annoying. Especially for the morning commute. Showers are going to be in and out of the area, upper 60s, near 70 degrees in the afternoon high, cloudy when it's not raining and misty otherwise too. Those showers last all day on and off, and it could be rather heavy overnight while we're sleeping into Wednesday morning. Waking up Wednesday morning with a few puddles, periods of showers could be moderate at times, but then it breaks up in a good way, I'd say for Wednesday midday. So in terms of coverage, you know, there's less coverage of the scattered showers on Wednesday. When compared to Tuesday, but it's still wet, you know, so either way you look at it, Wednesday mid 60, 65 degrees unsettled and showery, mild temperatures, but the shower is still going to be in and out of the area. Look at that. That's Wednesday night, maybe a quick round of downpours, but short-lived. As it get into Thursday, showers do linger again, mostly cloudy across New Jersey, and we're really not going to see much of a change, but the change does come in as we head toward the weekend. Come Friday and Saturday, I think the pattern changes to the point where we see some more humidity coming into play, and that humidity is actually Going to create an environment that feels more like summer than it does spring. So you'll see on Friday highs near 75, a little soupy. You'll have the sun to start the day and that will create some big puffy, billowing clouds that could spark a thunderstorm for the evening on Friday. We're going to repeat that pattern going into Saturday too, because you can see, look, 82 degrees is the predicted high temperature. That means the sun is going to be out enough to cook the environment and create those afternoon to evening storms. So for now, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, unsettled, on and off showers, but then Friday, Saturday, sun to start, storms to finish.

American Red Cross urges New Jersey residents to prep for hurricane season now

MTNJHurricanePreps0508_2025-05-08-22-24-13

Well, as we know from years past, hurricanes are no stranger to New Jersey. The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season fast approaching, but some recent forecasting models suggest an early start to the season, which means now is the time to prepare for it. News2 New Jersey's Jill Croce has more on what you need to know. Atlantic hurricane season starts in less than a month, June 1st, so now is the time to prep. Meteorologists are predicting another active hurricane season. I feel like every season is another active hurricane season. We're seeing a lot of it not just in New Jersey but across the country. Um, so we just want everyone to really be prepared. That was Sherry Ferrero with the American Red Cross New Jersey region to make sure everyone is ready for whatever could spin our way, she says use National Hurricane Preparedness Week, happening through May 10th as a guide to make purchases and not scramble at the last minute. One thing she recommends is assembling a go kit in case of evacuation. The checklist could include food, water, medication, chargers for your devices, your devices, all your important documents that you don't want to lose to flooding. Make digital copies of them. When disaster strikes, the National Weather Service also recommends having a full gas tank, having cash on hand, and a radio with batteries. And don't forget nonperishable foods and battery powered items like flashlights. These things may sell out, so you want to stock up on those things before a storm hits. Apart from physical items, make the proper calls now before it's too late, we definitely recommend that people have insurance. Homeowners insurance, um, renters' insurance that that also will cover, you know, damage that comes from a severe storm like a hurricane. Ahead of the June 1st Atlantic hurricane season start date, download the free Red Cross emergency app. You put in your information where you live. It tells you what kind of hazards that you are most prone to in your community, and it gives you all the tips that you need for before, during, and after a storm in Fairfield, Jill Croci, News 12th, New Jersey.

Meteor Shower May

Don't get your hopes up about the annual May meteor shower known as the Ada Aquarids because it looks like the weather is not going to cooperate. The peak will occur Monday night and into Tuesday morning. That's May 5th into May 6th. And if we had a clear sky, you would want to go out late and look towards the east after midnight when the constellation Aquarius rises. That is the radiant point of the shower, but unfortunately. It looks like the weather is going to get in the way. We are looking at clouds and showers over the entire tri-state area all the way into next week. But anyway, here's what you would need to know. This is actually debris from Haley's comet. We all know about Haley's comet. This comet's been observed since 240 BC, and you would want to look late after midnight. Now you don't have to look directly at the constellation, but that's actually the radiant point where it appears that the radiant. That the meteors are gonna come from. This is known as a medium shower in the northern hemisphere. It is way better in the southern hemisphere. Our shower would be seen very low on the horizon, so we may miss the peak this time, but no worries. You could see a meteor or two through the end of the month, and fingers crossed, the weather will be nice for the full moon, the flower moon coming up on May 12th in the weather center. I'm storm watch team meteorologist Michelle Powers.
