There haven't been too many of them this summer, but this weekend looks to be one of the rare ones. Both a Saturday AND Sunday looking pretty fantastic.
A lingering, stalled, weather system that was responsible for yesterday's nasty weather is slowly giving up ground and moving away from the southern Jersey shoreline. As the clouds and storms depart, winds from upstate New York and Canada will usher in a better feeling air mass. Tonight, is wonderful with nighttime lows in the 50s and low 60s. Humidity levels will be very comfortable. This better feeling air is what we have waiting for us on Saturday.
Mainly sunny skies and temperatures that, while warm, will be a few degrees shy of normal. 83 degrees is typical. I don't know if we get to 80 degrees. Fair weather will over the region for most of the weekend so the winds will be favorable and fairly light. The pristine weather will linger for Saturday night but will be slowly moving offshore through the day on Sunday.
The second half of the weekend still features sunshine for most of the day. The winds will be slowly changing direction, allowing more humid air back over the state. The temperatures on Sunday will be a few degrees warmer than normal and the mugginess will make it feel it bit warmer. Kind of nice for the end of August. Late Sunday evening or Sunday night clouds will become more common, and a line of showers will be moving in from the Poconos.
The next bout of "concern-able" rain and storms looks to occur early next week. We will have to monitor and see how the situation evolves.
