James' Forecast: Cloudy, damp start in New Jersey with on and off showers

NJFORECAST

Meteorologist James. Yes, more of the same nick. Unfortunately, how ugly it is in Belmar here this morning, the wind is still blowing. We have victory at sea conditions here, you know, 9 to 11 ft surf further offshore. So definitely not a day for the shore winds are gusting to about 40 miles an hour. And again, just a dreary, dreary go, visibility has been reduced in spots, but Northwest Jersey generally. Ok. South Jersey generally. Ok as well. So again, as we make our way out, we're looking at the chance for a few sprinkles to linger as we head in towards tonight and towards the overnight hours as well. Let's get a check on that 10 day forecast. Looks like this Wednesday, about 65 going to do it Thursday. 66. The shower threat is here on, on Friday. Unfortunately, with a high of about 67 we head into the upcoming weekend. Absolutely gorgeous weekend. Saturday, there might be a touch more in the way of cloud in this early Sunday. About 76 here we head into next week and we're popping high temperatures in the low eighties Monday and Tuesday with tons of sunshine continuing. So nice to really kind of finally dry out. We'll talk more about it coming up.

Hi, I'm meteorologist, Alex Calamia. We have a cloudy Tuesday with more pesky light showers pushing through, but Wednesday looks good. We have our best chance of sunshine in the forecast there. And the end of the week, we'll see some more clouds and maybe a quick spritz. But overall, the rest of this week is an improvement. You'll notice some sunshine in the evening today and a lot more of it on Wednesday. That was not totally sunny Wednesday, but it is definitely much better territory than where we've been Thursday straight shower for central South Jersey. Some of that pushes on to the island over the course of the afternoon and then everybody gets in on at least a shower chance for Friday. So Friday will be once again, kind of a gloomy day. This should clear out by Saturday afternoon. Here's what it looks like. Temperature wise. 50 sixties to start off your Tuesday. Here's what it looks develops into for Wednesday and the rest of the week we're talking sixties for highs, so not very warm, but we are at least looking at lower risk for rain on Wednesday and Thursday, Friday, it's cooler. It's cloudier. We're kind of hitting sixties, so it's not bad. But on Saturday and into next week, that's when those glorious seventies come back. And it is just so much more pleasant from that point forward. So here's how it shapes up on the 10 day forecast, straight shower, possible Saturday. But for the most part, it's not a bad weekend, Sunday, definitely the pick of the weekend at 74 with plenty of sunshine. So you'll want to make up for all those plans that you had to cancel last weekend because it is definitely a better scenario there and we will keep the good times going into the start of the new month.

Healthy food. I mean, that's, that's, that's key. All right, let's see where our forecast is going because we do have some eventual changes. I promise, I promise you will see the sun again. Uh It's just not going to happen tomorrow. We are going to be locked into this drab and dreary weather pattern for at least the next 24 hours by tomorrow night. I think we start to see some changes. We are looking at mainly cloudy skies, some on and off again, showers, temperatures are going to stay for the most part in the mid upper fifties and lower six. The visibility is poor in some areas. Watch out for some patchy fog that will greet you as you're walking out the door. You early morning commuters. We did see a decent amount of rain that added to those weekend totals. A lot of neighborhoods picking up 34 inches worth of rain over the course of this storm system, the storm is going to continue to slowly drift away but we are locked into this weather pattern for at least another day where we are going to be looking at clouds, northeasterly winds at about 10, 15 miles an hour and we will be looking for some showers, temperatures tonight in the upper fifties, not much of a recovery. The reason the wind direction, the clouds and the on again off again showers for tomorrow afternoon. But we will be looking for an improvement in that forecast. Once we get into the better part of the middle of the week, I'll have more details on that forecast coming right up.

New Jersey experiences rain, wind as Ophelia weakens

RTNJAmandaWxTbolt09242023ALee10pm

News twelve's Amanda Lee. She is down by the coast at Belmar, keeping us updated on Ophelia's impact there. Believe it or not, this huge pile of sand is on the boardwalk at Belmar Beach. This was all blown over here from the beach. Inches of it. Take a look. It's almost reaching the seat of this bench here and it's all along the boardwalk. And even on the street over here, we got some video of it in the daytime. It is pretty wet and there's a lot of it. Like I said, there's inches and we did drive throughout Belmar today. We saw branches and leaves in the road but no major. Thankfully. Now the rain has led up for the most part in a lot of places. There is still some drizzling going on. I know further south they're dealing with some flooding. But in central and north Jersey, it seems like we've seen the worst of this, this weekend. Now, most of the strong wind is by the coast. So once you go further inland, it's not much of an issue tonight while you're driving around. You want to make sure you're watching out for those slick roads and maybe some fog for now reporting in Belmar, Amanda Lee news 12 New Jersey.
