First chance of winter-like temperatures and precipitation toward the end of the two-week period.

Central Coastal New Jersey got pummeled by this Nor’easter while we are getting off very easy.  Hasn’t this been the case for about 10 years now? 

Areas of Central Coastal New Jersey have seen water spouts, hail, and over 3 inches of rain from this Nor’easter, while our area has gotten off pretty easy with only a quarter of an inch of rain so far in many locations. 

Moving forward, we will have showers today, ending late in the day.  It will be quite cool with temperatures not rising at all and highs only around 50 as cold northeast winds move into our area behind the Nor’easter.

Tomorrow will be a much nicer day with clouds decreasing throughout the day and highs reaching the low 60’s.

Saturday clouds will increase in the afternoon and there will be a slight chance of a shower at night.  Highs will be in the low 60’s.

Sunday through Tuesday should then be nice with highs in the upper 50’s on Sunday, the mid 50’s on Monday, and the mid 60’s on Tuesday.

Wednesday a cold front will approach, bringing warmer temperatures as warm air surges north into our area ahead of the font.  Clouds will increase in the morning with showers and thunderstorms likely in the afternoon.  The high on Wednesday will be around 70.

Next Thursday will be mostly sunny and cooler with highs in the mid 50’s.

Next Friday (Halloween Day) will start out nice but clouds will increase in the afternoon with a slight chance of a shower at night as a strong cold front approaches.  The high on Halloween Day will be in the low 60’s.

Next weekend we may have winter-like temperatures to welcome November with highs only in the 40’s and lows possibly dropping to the low to mid 20’s next Sunday morning.

Next Monday may be nice but very cold with lows in the low to mid 20’s and highs only in the mid to upper 30’s.

Next Tuesday we may have our first chance of winter-like precipitation with a chance of rain or snow and highs only in the mid to upper 30’s.

Next Wednesday should be variably cloudy with highs in the low 40’s.
