Record-Breaking Warmth Expected in New Jersey This Week
New Jersey residents can look forward to a week of unseasonably warm weather, with record-breaking temperatures predicted for the upcoming weekend. A ridge of high pressure moving from the Deep South towards New Jersey will bring a surge of warm air, providing the rocket fuel needed for these unusually high temperatures.
Inland areas can expect a gradual warming trend throughout the week, with highs reaching the mid-70s on Wednesday and climbing to the upper 70s on Thursday and Friday. Saturday is predicted to be the warmest day, with temperatures expected to reach the low 80s. These temperatures are well above the average for this time of year.
The shoreline will experience slightly cooler temperatures due to daily sea breezes that develop later in the morning. Highs at the coast will be capped in the upper 60s on Wednesday and Thursday. However, even the shore will see a significant warm-up towards the end of the week, with temperatures in the mid-70s expected for Friday and Saturday.
No records are expected to be broken in terms of high or low temperatures during this stretch, but it will still be a welcome period of warmer-than-average weather. Overnight lows will range from the low 50s on Wednesday and Thursday nights to the upper 50s on Friday and Saturday nights, well above the average low temperature of 43 degrees.
Despite the warmth, there will be no rain in the forecast. Any clouds that pass through will be high, cirrus clouds and will not bring any precipitation with them.
Looking ahead, Sunday may see a cooldown as winds shift from the onshore direction, but highs are still expected to be in the 70s with a mix of sun and clouds.
However, the forecast becomes uncertain beyond Sunday. A powerful cold front is expected to pass through at some point between Monday and Wednesday, bringing showers, strong winds, and a significant cooldown into the 50s. Until the front arrives, temperatures will remain in the 70s with plenty of sunshine.
In summary, New Jersey residents can enjoy a record-breaking stretch of warm weather this week, with temperatures reaching the low 80s inland and the mid-70s at the shore. While no records are expected to be broken, it will still be a pleasant departure from the average temperatures for this time of year. The forecast becomes uncertain beyond Sunday, as a powerful cold front is expected to bring showers and a cooldown into the 50s. Rest assured, however, that frost will be unlikely for at least a week as the warmup continues.
