WeatherCoats | NJ Weather: Wet weather to end the week

It looks like I was initially correct  in saying that we may see a thunderstorm Wednesday, but I did back down on that forecast due to the forecast issued by the NWS.  However, I was right in questioning the NWS forecast for Friday, which originally called for sunny skies.  Looks like the GFS model won the battle against the NAM in forecasting a stormy day for Friday.  And it was a little surprising that the High for Friday is only at 79, so I looked into it and found out that for North Jersey, winds will be from the NE during the day while South Jersey will have winds from the SE.  Because the winds for North Jersey will be more "Northerly" (no pun intended), temperatures will be cooler up there as opposed to South Jerseys more "Southerly" winds which will keep temperatures in the mid 80s down there.

As for the rest of the week, temperatures go back up and humidity levels will slowly creep up as we move into Monday, but once the front passes by on Tuesday, expect nicer conditions for Wednesday.

Looking Ahead:  The rest of next week looks to be in the clear of storms.  However another system will approach the region, making temperatures & humidity go up for Friday - Saturday and bring wet weather for Sunday into Monday.  Then another system mid-week will make its way through the area.
