TRENTON, NJ – Even if it was just for a few days, the rain stopped, and the summer returned this weekend to New Jersey. Temperatures in the 80s and sunny days gave way to New Jersey’s trademark fall gray overcast and drizzle on Sunday. We woke up to a thick blanket of fog and clouds today, but is it really over?
A mix of weather conditions will unfold across New Jersey in the coming week, ranging from foggy mornings to chances of rain and snow.
Today’s forecast calls for patchy drizzle before 10 a.m., with a possibility of showers starting from 2 p.m. Areas of fog will dissipate by the afternoon. The high is predicted to be near 71, with winds coming from the west at 5 to 15 mph. The chance of precipitation stands at 30%, and any new rainfall will likely be less than a tenth of an inch.
For tonight, there is a 30% chance of rain, mainly before 10 p.m. The sky will remain mostly cloudy, and the temperature is expected to drop to around 40. Winds will shift to come from the northwest at 10 to 15 mph.
Looking ahead to Tuesday, the skies will be partly sunny with a high near 53. Winds will start from the north at 5 to 10 mph and will turn northeast in the afternoon. By Tuesday night, there’s a 40% chance of rain after 9 p.m., and the low will be around 35.
On Wednesday, New Jersey could see a mix of rain and snow before 10 a.m., followed by a chance of rain until 3 p.m. The high will be near 50, with a north wind at 5 to 10 mph. The chance of precipitation is 40%, and no significant snow accumulation is expected.
Conditions are set to improve by Wednesday night, with mostly clear skies and a low around 28. The rest of the week looks promising, with sunny days and highs ranging from 52 to 64 until Sunday when the skies will be partly sunny with a high near 65.
The good news is that November is known for producing a few days of what is historically called “Indian Summer,” and that’s something to look forward to.
