WeatherCoats | Rutgers WeatherWatcher Forecast for April 27th, 2011

A clear and cool morning becoming cloudy throughout the day and possibly a passing shower with a High of 68.  The passing shower is a result of a surface trough trailing the Low Pressure system that affected us yesterday.  A surface trough is an area that resembles a front with lower atmospheric pressure, causing the warmer air on the ground to rise into the atmosphere where it cools down.  As it cools, condensation occurs as the parcels of air turn into clouds.  The lifting is not significant, thus the amount of rain we will see today in New Brunswick and throughout New Jersey will be minimal.
