Newark Liberty International Airport has tied the record for warmth, which was set on this day in 2016. Sunshine and favorable winds launched the air temperatures into the low 80s for most of the state. This is something we would normally see around June 12.

All good things must come to an end, and this pristine, perfect early spring day will fade behind developing clouds and possibly strong thunderstorms tomorrow evening.

The weather slowly unravels on Wednesday. The day will be partly sunny and still on the milder side with daytime highs reaching into the low 70s. A nasty weather system, with much cooler air behind it, will likely fire off a line of strong storms capable of damaging winds later in the day.

Be more weather aware from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., especially in western and southern areas of New Jersey. A fast line of nasty storms could develop.

The weather on Thursday remains unsettled but noticeably cooler. The same weather system that brings the storms tomorrow evening will likely stall over the area. This will allow clouds and rain showers to linger. In turn, the temperatures will return to where they should be for this time of year.

Friday through the weekend looks quiet for now. Clouds, sun and seasonably cooler temperatures. Meteorological March Madness has begun. Who has snow advancing further into the tournament?
