Weakening band of showers approaching N.W. NJ as of
7 a.m. Most of what appears to be holding together should affect Sussex County (north of route 80) with amounts of less than 0.10". Another area of showers over central PA should dissipate before reaching NJ. Overall dry week expected with well above normal temps next 3-4 days returning to normal or a tad below mid to late week into next weekend. In general < 0.25" expected next 7 days. Except higher amounts possible in scattered T-showers late week/next weekend. Pattern is a dry one next 7 days. Some model support for wetter pattern day 8-10. |

CF passage this evening/overnight will make tomorrow and rest of the week more pleasant with temps. falling below normal Thurs/Fri and near normal beyond into early and mid next week. Isolated showers with frontal passage. Nothing widespread or heavy, generally <0.25" and most places don't get wet.

Frontal passage late yesterday gave anywhere from zero rainfall to some 0.30" amounts mostly across northern 1/3 of NJ. Just some scattered <0.10"amounts central and south Jersey. Radar estimated precip. does show small area in a e/w band over northern Sussex of up to 1.5" associated with T-storms over that area between 8 and 9pm last evening. Morning clouds will give way to sun and more pleasant mid June day with temps. around 80 most places. Next shower chances Friday/Saturday and again early next week. |

Cool and pleasant morning with overnight lows statewide generally in the mid to upper 50's. Today will be day #8 with no measurable rain. Precipitation month of June to date: 0.55". Lawns with no irrigation starting to show stress. Pattern starting tomorrow through early next week looks wetter. Although nothing organized, several systems should produce periods of showers, some heavy and 5 - 6 day totals could run 2.00" in spots with most spots looking to receive .50" - 1.00". Temperatures over the next week look to average pretty close to normal. |

Rainfall totals across NJ next 3-5 days look to AVERAGE near 1.00", with local amounts in excess of 2.00" - 3.00" possible. PWAT looks to peak at between 2 - 2.5" for a time later Monday/Monday night. DP's surge into the low 70's later in the weekend and early next week as well. Air mass will become increasingly humid and sultry. Result could be some locally heavy rainfall totals especially later Monday and Monday night. High temps. will average near normal across the state next 3-5 days. Normals are near 80 NW and low 80's South. |

Heaviest rainfall totals still look to be Monday into Monday evening as deepening upper trof and associated cold front slowly push through the area. Potential for some training cells Monday afternoon/evening with locally heavy totals. Three day totals across parts of NJ could approach 3.00". |

Precipitation month of June to date: 0.76". Heaviest rainfall totals yesterday were roughly along the I95 corridor from Mercer to Hudson County. Some totals there were in the 1 to 1.50" range. Air mass extremely soupy this morning. DP's across NJ in the low to mid 70's. While overall chances of pop up storms today are low (no real trigger) anything that does form could produce locally heavy rain. Main heavy rain threat continues to be later tomorrow into tomorrow evening.
PWAT will rise to near 2.30" across a good portion of NJ during Monday afternoon and evening. NWS has Flash Flood Watch posted for most of NJ except far NW and SE counties. Rainfall totals later tomorrow have the potential to be heavy especially where any training activity takes place. Could be some heavy totals in a short period of time. |

Precipitation month of June to date: 0.87". Active weather day ahead later this afternoon into the evening hours. Strengthening upper trof and associated CF will push into very moist unstable air mass. SPC has most of NJ in enhanced risk for severe. Amount of sun that breaks out later will determine just how unstable air mass gets and how widespread severe storms become. Regardless, heavy rainfall totals with potential training threat exists. NWS has Flash Flood Watch posted for most of NJ, except southeast counties. General rainfall amounts of 1-2" statewide with isolated 3"+ amounts where some training activity sets up. Any t-storms that reach severe levels could produce damaging winds and small hail. |

Rainfall looks to be on the lighter side this week with most places seeing <0.25". Widely scattered t-showers could drop 0.50"+ in a few isolated spots, but those spots will be few and far between. Surge of heat late week centered on Thursday and again early next week centered on Monday. In between near seasonable temps should be the rule. No prolonged period of 90+ days for the next 10 days at least. |

T-shower between 2200Z and 2230Z yesterday. Next day of widespread showers/t-storms looks to be later Friday into Saturday. Hottest day of week statewide looks to be Thursday. Most guidance bullish on much cooler/drier shot of air arriving around Tuesday of next week. Climo wise we are at the warmest time of the year. Normals start falling around 8/2. Statewide July is running .50 to 1 F above normal. Based on cooler shot next week month should end up at or just below normal. July also keeping the state well watered so far. Not a bad summer with no prolonged heat waves and ample rain so far. |

Hot and Muggy next few days with heat/humidity combo peaking Thursday and Friday across NJ. Showers/t-showers few and far between today through Friday. Best chances for widespread activity mostly over the weekend. Could see some 1-2" (locally higher) totals that period as PWAT approaches 2" along with a front pressing into the area and rather robust s/w moving along it. Still looks like a much more comfortable air mass arriving early next week for a few days. Most intense of the heat will stay just south of NJ with readings from MD/VA south through the I95 corridor into NC/SC topping out at 100-103 at some locations with heat index readings 105-110 some spots Fri/Sat. Even so Thursday and Friday across NJ look to be oppressive with highs 90-95 and heat index readings near 100 in spots. As has been the case this summer once the heat arrives you can see the relief coming a few days later. In the meantime stay hydrated if working outdoors. |

Two oppressive days of heat and humidity today and tomorrow. Heat will peak today/tomorrow and Heat Advisories and Excessive Heat Warnings have been posted for NJ except for the far NW counties. Highs mid / upper 90's statewide today and low / mid 90's tomorrow.
Dangerous heat index values of near or just over 100 for most of the state today. Shower/t-shower chances today and tomorrow are next to nil. Better chance for widespread activity Saturday and Sunday and any activity during that time has potential to drench. PWAT by late Saturday into early Sunday surge to 2.1 to 2.3 across most of CNJ/SNJ. This is where best chances for heaviest rains are over the weekend, at least as of now. Much more pleasant air mass still on tap for much of next work week. High temps over NNJ may struggle to get out of the 70's at some point for 1-2 days next week. In the meantime stay hydrated if outdoors and try and keep cool. |

Light shower yesterday around 2200Z-2230Z. Best activity was to my south and southwest. Another hot/humid day statewide today. Perhaps humidity is knocked back a bit NNJ but still hot. Shower/t-shower activity chances next to nil again today. Chances increase Saturday and Sunday and any of those could drop heavy rain. Rather potent CF for late July passes on Monday and mid to late next week looks much more pleasant. Some severe weather possible with that front later Sunday into early Monday. SPC has large area of "slight" from eastern Ohio valley eastward into Mid and north Atlantic states. Tuesday through Friday next week looks very pleasant for the closing days of July. Something to look forward to. In the meantime keep cool...temps will get knocked back several degrees Sat/Sun but humidity levels will still be on the high side so still uncomfortable. |

Brief shower around 0535Z Saturday. Hot and muggy today, knocked back a bit from last two days but still quite uncomfortable. NWS has small area Heat Advisory for extreme NE NJ otherwise advisories from last two days have been taken down. At least moderate chances for locally heavy to potentially excessive rainfalls next 24 hours for parts of NJ...target area looks to be CNJ. Lesser amounts north and south but still potentially locally heavy. Ingredients look to be in place for locally drenching downpours later this afternoon, this evening and into the overnight. Won't be raining constantly but 2-3 waves of convective rainfall will traverse most of NJ. Once again CNJ looks like highest risk area. Some storms could approach severe limits but I'm most impressed with potentially heavy rainfall rates. Much more pleasant weather on tap for early and mid week next week.
Atlantic tropics look to remain quiet for next 7-10 days to close out July. Conflicting signals for August but overall conditions for development should gradually improve as climo suggests they should. Water temps across the basin have warmed nicely but still lots of African dust/dry air and unfavorable wind shear at the present time. We'll see how fast and to what extent those conditions become more favorable as we head through August. Watch out for locally heavy rains later today. |

Rainfall totals across NJ last 24 hours were heaviest across CNJ with 1.00" to locally 2.50" amounts, mainly from Hunterdon County eastward to Monmouth. Lightest amounts far NNJ and far SNJ...generally 0.25" to .50" most other spots in between. Threat remains for additional heavy rains later today, this evening and into the overnight. Guidance varies on where to place heaviest axis. Feeling here is near or just south of axis of last evenings heaviest totals....at this point that is really just best guess. Rainfall totals next 24 hours in some places could be 2 to locally over 3" where best rainfall rates occur. Scattered showers and some humidity linger tomorrow but Tuesday / Wednesday look like pleasant days for late July. Higher humidity and near seasonable warm temps return by next weekend along with threat of additional rains with a front potentially draped across NJ. Heat of last several days will ensure July finishes above normal temp wise.
On the order of +1 to +1.5 degrees most places. Cooler/seasonable air of coming week will not be enough to drag averages to normal or below. Some hefty rainfall totals for alot of places so far with more to come before the end of the month. Good for agriculture interests. |

Light rain ongoing at obs time. Another batch of light/moderate rain will be moving across NNJ over next 1-2 hours. Best rains yesterday/last evening/overnight were in Camden, Salem, Gloucester, Burlington and Ocean Counties. Widespread 1-2" amounts with local amounts in spots of 3 to local 4"+ amounts". Lesser amounts last 24 hours over CNJ/NNJ. Much cooler today through Wednesday with temps running below normal. Temps return to near normal later in the week/weekend. No return to prolonged heat and humidity for balance of July. Additional rain likely later this work week. Rainfall last 24 hours over parts of northern Delaware 3-5" with a local 7" total.

The additional 0.03" fell overnight in light mist and drizzle. Temps. will be below normal today through Thursday rising to near or a few degrees above normal later this week/weekend and into early next week. Not expecting any additional 90 degree readings for rest of July. Additional rains likely later in the week Thurs/Fri with amounts of 0.50" to 1.50" possible across the state....heaviest amounts over SNJ.

Another significant rain event setting up later today/tonight into Saturday for NJ. Max totals at this point look to be CNJ and especially SNJ. Event totals over these regions could top out in the 2-4" range with lesser amounts in the 1-2" across NNJ. Frontal system will press southeast across NJ later today into early Friday then become draped across SNJ Friday night and into Saturday. Most guidance develops a robust sfc low for late July along this front that passes off the SNJ coast Saturday morning and then heads ENE to the south of Long Island. As the low deepens off NJ late Friday night and early Saturday winds could gust to 40 mph+ along the NJ beaches. Finer details still need to be worked out but ample support for moderate to heavy rain event for most of NJ seems to be in the cards from tonight into Saturday. Depending on exactly where best totals look to occur Flash Flood Watches could be issued for parts of NJ as we get closer to the event. Has been wettest across parts of CNJ/SNJ last several days and additional heavy rains over a 24-36 hour period could cause flooding problems. July 2017 will go down in the books as a wet month to say the least. Temperatures next 3-4 days averaging near to below normal. No return to 90+ readings over the next 5-7 days. |

Had brief shower yesterday afternoon. Heavy to excessive rainfall still on tap for parts of NJ next 24 hours. Heaviest rains by far will be southern 1/3 of NJ with sharp gradient of lesser amounts as you head north across the state. Event totals look to average 2-4" far south with some local amounts reaching 5"....1-3" up to CNJ and amounts of 0.25" to 0.75" across NNJ with lowest amounts over 3 far NW counties. Wind gusts along NJ beaches forecast to peak at 40-50 mph late tonight into early Saturday afternoon. Bulk of the rain totals above fall in 12 hour period from this evening into early Saturday morning. Flash Flood Watches posted for southern 1/2 of NJ. Once this system pulls away Saturday night into Sunday fair weather with seasonable temps or a tad above should prevail for next week. Next chance showers/t-storms next Friday or Saturday as it looks now. Atlantic tropics continue quiet for next 3-5 days. More favorable upward motion pulse associated with MJO pushes eastward into the Atlantic by mid/late next week. EURO model shows increasing chances for Atlantic activity as we progress from around 8/4 to 8/10. Climo says activity should start to pickup as well so we'll see how it goes. |

Rainfall underperformed for NJ except for far south.
Radar estimates show a band of 2.5" - locally 4" over far SNJ. Measurable rainfall was generally along and south of I195 with little or no rainfall north of there. Wind gusts last 6 hours have been in the 30-35 mph range right along the beaches. Heaviest rains now pulling away from SNJ but gusty winds will continue into the afternoon. Week ahead looks rather quiet with near seasonable temps. Warmest days look to be Tuesday/Wednesday. Next rainfall chances around Friday. |

Quiet week of weather upcoming. Temps will slowly climb along with humidity with Wed. looking like the warmest day. Next chance showers later Thur & Fri with a frontal passage then a return to more pleasant air mass by next weekend. No prolonged heat/humidity for next 7-10 days. Temps during first 10 days of August should AVERAGE around or just below seasonal normals. |

Total precipitation month of July: 7.02"
(7am - 7/1 to 7am - 7/31)
Melted precipitation Y.T.D.: 29.65".
(7am - 1/1 to 7am - 7/31)
Pleasant summer so far with periods above normal temps being erased by periods of below normal temps. Ample rain for lawns/shrubs and agriculture. Warmer/more humid weather mid & late week will give way to much more pleasant air mass later Friday into & through the coming weekend. No extended periods of hot/humid weather over next 7-10 days. Recently classified TS Emily bringing rains/gusty winds to FL will head across FL then out into the open Atlantic this week. Conditions gradually becoming more favorable over the Atlantic basin for tropical activity - we'll see what the month of August brings. |

Pleasant morning will give way to very warm afternoon with moderate levels of humidity. Shower chances today highest far NW NJ with little chance elsewhere. Shower chances increase statewide as we head through the mid and late week peaking on Friday afternoon into Saturday morning as front moves through. Temps. warmest today and tomorrow then around seasonable Thurs/Fri but with high humidity. More comfortable air mass arrives during Saturday and into early next week. Another front increases shower/t-storm chances early next week - later Mon/Tues. Temps around NJ for July: Newark: -0.10, Trenton: +0.70, Atlantic City Airport: +1.40, Atlantic City Marina: +.30. Central Park, NYC: +0.30. July was a wet month statewide. Totals statewide averaging better than 4" with local totals upwards to 7-9". Fun Fact: Sun will set in Barrow, Alaska today at 1:57 a.m. AKDT for the first time since back on May 10th. Can winter be far behind? |

Few lone showers did make it into western NJ over NW and SW sections yesterday. A few scattered lone storms popped up elsewhere. Some of the storms did produce locally heavy downpours but they were very few and far between. Showers/t-storms will be more numerous today and any of them could produce heavy downpours. Additional showers/storms possible tomorrow and Friday. More widespread event possible next Mon/Tues. Temps will remain at or below seasonable levels for next 5-10 days. Humid conditions will give way to more comfortable air mass over the weekend and again beyond Tuesday of next week. Still no sign of prolonged heat/humidity next 10 days. We'll see if favorable MJO pulse can deliver the goods in the Atlantic tropics over the next week or so. EURO shows decent probabilities by mid next week. Every tropical cyclone so far this season has lasted just hours or a few days we'll see if the Atlantic can start generating some meaningful storms during August. |

Some locally heavy rainfall totals around NJ yesterday.
Activity today will be less in terms of aerial coverage but where storms do pop up they could contain a heavier downpour, nothing like yesterday though. Rather humid today and tomorrow then drier air mass with pleasant temps for Saturday and Sunday. Increased chances rainfall activity Mon/Tues next week followed by another pleasant air mass for early August. May have to wait until around mid month or later for an extended period of heat humidity. Tropics starting to percolate ...could see system named in Atlantic and/or Caribbean/Gulf of Mexico over next 5-7 days. |

Some very localized heavy rainfall totals last 24 hours across NJ but most places that had rainfall saw totals of generally 0.50" or less. Showers / t-storms later this afternoon and especially evening / overnight could once again dump some locally heavy rainfall. Best chances for heaviest rainfall seem to be northern 1/2 of NJ. Front will push through NJ Saturday morning followed by more comfortable air mass with near seasonable temps and lowering humidity. Sunday looks like a nice weather day for early August. Another round of widespread shower / t-storms likely Monday/Monday night (best rainfall at this point looks to be northern 1/2 of NJ) then another pleasant air mass moves in for Tuesday into late week next week. Still no sign of prolonged heat / humidity next 7-10 days and ample rainfall for lawns/shrubs and agriculture. Tropics look ready to produce....TPC watching two areas and either or both look poised to be named next 3-5 days. Way to early to even speculate if either or both could be U.S. threats down the road. |

Decent rainfall totals across NJ overnight. Most places received between 0.50" and 1.00", lower amounts far south and southeast. Swath across Somerset County receiving the most with totals of 1.50" to 2.00" across northern part of the county. Rain has moved away and a pleasant afternoon and rest of the weekend to follow. Next rain chances Monday with heaviest totals NNJ then fair weather returns Tuesday through Thursday with pleasant temps and low humidity. Another shower threat by next Friday. Temperatures next 7 days decidedly below normal for August. The rather pleasant summer rolls on. |

Pleasantly cool morning across NJ. Min temp recorded here was 54. Heaviest rain focus for tomorrow from majority of overnight guidance has pushed south and heaviest axis now looks to be over central and especially southern 1/3 of NJ. Will see if that trend holds. Rainfall totals from system passing through NJ tomorrow look to be on the order of 0.50" - 1.00" NNJ, 1-2" CNJ and 1-3" southern NJ with some locally higher totals possible. Either way looks like another good watering for most of the state upcoming. Temperatures looks pleasant for next 7 days, averaging below normal statewide. Higher humidity tomorrow will give way to another pleasant air mass Tuesday - Friday. In the tropics....system in the Caribbean looks poised to be named in the coming days....it will stay way south as strong high pressure steers it into and across the Yucatan and then eventually into central Mexico. System in the Atlantic is struggling...whatever becomes of that feature will be in the vicinity of the the northern Lesser Antilles later this week. |

Just some light sprinkles so far this morning = Trace.
Moderate to heavy rain event still on tap for NJ today.
Highest amounts still look to focus on SNJ. Statewide totals look to average at least 1" with max totals over southern 1/3 of NJ upwards to 3". NWS has Flash Flood Watches posted for most of NJ except the NW counties. All the unsettled weather will pull away for tomorrow and the rest of the work week looks fair and pleasant with low humidity and temperatures at or just below seasonal normals. Next chance showers/t-showers Saturday and/or Sunday. Still no prolonged heat/humidity on the weather maps for NJ. TS Franklin has formed in the Caribbean and will move into and across the Yucatan next few days with final landfall into Mexico by the end of the work week. Atlantic disturbance still struggling. Some suggestion it will need to be watched for development over the SW Atlantic vicinity or just east of the Bahamas by the weekend. |

Clouds will linger through the morning hours today with skies becoming at least partly sunny during the afternoon with lowering humidity and pleasant temps. Southern and eastern NJ will take longest to clear out. Fair weather through Thursday with temps at or a little below normal. Shower chances increase again later Friday and then an unsettled period into the weekend and early next week. A front in the area will keep the shower chances elevated for several days starting later Friday. Best chances look to be later Friday and then again Sunday into Monday. Humidity will be on the rise starting later Friday but temps no worse than averaging normal for next 5-7 days. T.S. Franklin crossing the Yucatan will emerge into BOC this evening then take aim on Mexican coast for later this week....likely as a strong T.S. or minimal hurricane. Wave in the Atlantic still chugging along. Still some suggestion of development by later in the weekend in the vicinity of eastern Bahamas. Euro EPS most bullish on this possibility with decent chances of a depression or T.S. several hundred miles off the southeast coast of the U.S. in about 7-8 days.....we'll see how it works out. GFS really wants no part of it....for a change. |

Pleasant morning (low temp 54) will be followed by a pleasant afternoon with near seasonable temps and low humidity. Shower chances increase by later Friday and into Saturday but not greatly. Whatever showers do occur during that period look few and far between. Better chances of more widespread activity early next week (Mon/Tues). In the meantime temps for the next 5-7 days look to average a tad below normal with still no prolonged heat/humidity for the next week at least. In the tropics TS Franklin getting close to hurricane strength and will cross the coast of mainland Mexico in about 20-24 hours, likely as a Cat. 1 hurricane. Wave in the Atlantic still chugging along and still some indication from ECMWF EPS that development is possible later in the weekend east of the Bahamas...although the guidance is not as bullish as yesterday. GFES still wants nothing to do with it. We'll see who wins the battle of the models. Gut feeling is there will be a Depression or TS off the southeast coast early next week. |

Another pleasant August morning (low temp 57) to be followed by another pleasant afternoon with high temps at seasonable levels with still comfortable humidity. Shower chances increase starting tomorrow into early next week. Best shower chances Saturday afternoon / Saturday evening and again Mon/Tues next week. Nothing widespread or heavy but some t-showers could drop some locally heavier rain totals. In general through most places will receive <0.50" through early next week. The luckiest/wettest spots could see 1 to 1.5" over the next 3-5 days.....best chances central and SNJ. Still no sign of 90 degree weather over the next week at least. For August you can't beat that with a stick. Tropics: Franklin made landfall on Mexican coast at about 0500Z as a Cat. 1 hurricane. Wave in the Atlantic still chugging along and firing convection. Last visible pictures from last evening showed low level swirl so there seems to be low level circulation. Model support for development has been diminishing. Pattern looks reasonably favorable and waters are warm east of the Bahamas so still chance for development this weekend. General consensus is that even if something does form it would re-curve between 70-75W between 30-35N. Still think there is room for depression or TS before all is said and done with this persistent little system. |

More clouds than sun on tap for today with humidity on the rise. Temps will run close to normal. Shower/T-shower chances increase later tonight and into and through Saturday. Rainfall across NJ should run in the .50" to 1.00" range over the next 24-36 hours. Locally higher amounts in the heaviest showers. Sunday looks like the drier of the weekend days but still slight chance isolated showers but most places will stay dry on Sunday. Monday now looks dry as frontal system pushes south and east of NJ. Next chance rainfall would be Tuesday. Temperatures for first 10 days of August across NJ running about 2 degrees below normal. The coming 10 days look to average at worst normal to a tad below. Some suggestion that the last third of the month could turn above normal with uncomfortable humidity. Tropics: Atlantic wave still continues to fire convection as it slowly drifts WNW to NW. Little model support for development but this feature still has chance to become a depression or TS later this weekend just east of the Bahamas. Consensus is that if it does develop it would re-curve between 70-75W and 30-35N so no threat to east coast. |

Bulk of today looks rain free but isolated showers could pop here and there. Better chance showers late afternoon/early evening as weak front pushes across NJ. Clearing will follow and Sunday looks like a sunny and pleasant mid August day. Rainfall amounts next 12-18 hours generally <0.50" but some spots could see up to 0.75" in heavier showers. Those higher amounts should be exception not the rule. Upcoming week looks rather quiet with temps near or a little below normal on average. Rainfall looks light and scattered centered on Monday night/early Tuesday and then again around Friday with another frontal system approaching. Temps could spike into the upper 80's ahead of that front next Friday or Saturday. Tropics: Atlantic wave looks fairly well organized this morning. Seems likely to become at least a depression over the next 72 hours and it is possible we could see TS Gert by early next week moving away from the east coast. |

Rainfall across NJ last 24 hours under performed. Generally just scattered very light amounts of <0.10". Week ahead looks rather quiet with seasonable temps and no widespread rainfall. Best chance showers/t-showers later in the week but aerial coverage not widespread and most places across NJ should see <0.50" over next 5-7 days. One of the drier periods of recent weeks. Temps could spike into the upper 80's mid/late week ahead of next front, maybe even a 90 degree reading over the interior sections of CNJ/SNJ but more pleasant weather will return by next weekend into the following week. If there is to be a sustained period of above normal warmth for NJ it looks like it will have to wait until after 8/23. Tropics: Atlantic wave gained TD status last evening as expected and very likely will reach TS status as it moves away from the east coast over the course of next several days. GEFS and EURO EPS signaling next wave coming off Africa has potential to SLOWLY develop as it heads west over the next week to 10 days. Likely no meaningful development until later in the coming week or next weekend. Another wave in the central Atlantic bears some watching but modeling not latching onto anything there as of now. |

Rather a quiet week of weather upcoming. Pleasant temps and low humidity today and tomorrow will give way to rising temps and humidity Wednesday through Friday. Wednesday may see highest max temps of upper 80's to low 90's in spots. Friday could be most uncomfortable day in terms of temp/humidity combo. Rainfall for most in the 0 to .50" range this week. Locally higher amounts in heaviest showers. Best chances Thursday night into Friday ahead of cool front. Fair weather with more comfortable temps and humidity for the weekend. Tropics: Gert moving well offshore east coast will induce some higher surf and increased rip current risk NJ beaches mid to late week. Gert will likely become strong extra tropical north Atlantic storm later in the week. System in the eastern Atlantic looks destined to become Harvey by end of the week or weekend. General track consensus is west to west-northwest with system near the northern Leeward Islands (either in the northeast Caribbean or Atlantic side) by the weekend. More in the days ahead on what looks to be tropical cyclone Harvey. |

Showers in the hours after mid-night ended by 4am. Rather quiet week of weather ongoing. Few scattered showers possible in spots today, nothing widespread or heavy. Sunny and more August like tomorrow, upper 80's to a few low 90's with moderate humidity and mainly sunny skies. Few showers possible Thursday but best chance widespread and some locally heavy showers is Friday/Friday night ahead of front. Fair weather with lower humidity for the weekend. Possible showers could linger into Saturday morning, will have to see if front clears the state. Tropics: Hurricane Gert moving NNE well off the east coast. Rough surf and increased threat of rip currents will reach the mid and north Atlantic states tonight and into Friday/Saturday. Several waves out in the Atlantic offer the chance of development over the next 5 days. Initial wave seems destined to head west into the Caribbean with slow development and the waves behind that seem destined to re-curve so for now no threats to the U.S. for the next 7-10 days at least. |

Trace of precipitation last 24 hours in a sprinkle last evening and dew overnight. Nice swath of rainfall across CNJ yesterday with 0.50 to 1.00" amounts. Nice day upcoming with sunny skies, moderate humidity and temps a few degrees above normal in the upper 80's maybe a few 90 degree readings CNJ/SNJ interior. With the moderate humidity it should not feel that bad. Pretty much the same for tomorrow. Friday/Friday night looks like next chance of widespread rainfall with a front pressing into the state from the NW. Showers/T-storms likely afternoon/evening/overnight could produce locally heavy rainfall in spots. In general most of NJ should average 0.50 to 0.75" rainfall. Widespread severe weather is not expected. Front will linger across NJ Saturday with warm temps and higher levels of humidity. Sunday looks like better of the weekend days with partly sunny skies, lower humidity and seasonable temps. Fair weather should continue into early/mid next week with temps running near to a little above normal. Tropics: Hurricane Gert (90 mph) will produce rough surf and rip currents along NJ beaches through at least Friday with diminishing effects over the weekend.
Elsewhere in the Atlantic basin....3 waves with none in a hurry to develop. Western most wave heading for Caribbean on suppressed southern track...waves behind seem poised to eventually re-curve. Development on any of the features will be slow.....neither GEFS or EURO EPS are overly excited on development and there is no threat to the U.S. from a tropical cyclone for the next 7 to 10 days. |

Another nice day on tap for today with temps in the mid to upper 80's. Humidity levels up some from yesterday but nothing oppressive. Shower/t-storm threat looks on schedule for tomorrow. SPC has NJ in marginal threat for severe. Looks like decent amount of rainfall statewide with 0.50" to 1.00" for most. Some locally higher amts. with heaviest storms/showers. Front looks to clear NJ by Saturday with at least partly sunny skies. Temps over the weekend m/u 80's for most spots with comfortable humidity. Fair and dry weather with temps at or just a bit above normal continue into next week.
Tropics: Swells/surf and rip currents from Gert will affect NJ beaches into early tomorrow. Better surf conditions for the weekend. Tropics: leading wave looks poised to become "Harvey" over the weekend as it tracks well south through the Caribbean. Wave behind that less certain to develop but that feature could be near the Bahamas in about a week in one form or another and the wave in the far eastern Atlantic looks like it re-curves during the mid and later part of next week. So only the middle wave is of some interest to the U.S. but it remains to be seen if/or how much it can develop. |

Model consensus with hurricane Maria looks to bring it to within 25-75 miles of Cape Hatteras, NC followed by sharp right turn out to sea ahead of cold front / upper trof digging into the eastern states late in the coming work week. |

Above normal temps again today and lasting through Thursday. The warmth of the last 10 days has wiped out the cool first half of September and overall temperatures are running +2 across NJ. Still no significant rain in sight as LR OP guidance and ensembles show <0.25" next 10 days across NJ. Last run of the EURO weekly guidance suggests temps go to normal or above for October with below normal rainfall. We shall see but with La Nina coming on pretty fast that type of pattern would not be surprising. Would tend to keep hurricane season going well into October so always a chance some tropical moisture could work this far north. |

More seasonable airmass starts arriving tomorrow. Still no signs of meaningful rainfall next 7 - 10 days. Ground is very dry and dusty. Longer ranger guidance for October suggests temps average above normal with rainfall averaging below. Euro seems rather bullish on this. Time will tell but for now looks dry for at least another week. |

Cold front is through. DP's have dropped into the low 50's across NNJ and will fall across the rest of the state over next few hours. Temps will still be above normal today but it will feel much more comfortable as the DP's and RH will have come way down from what we've had over last week or so. Pattern remains DRY with little or no rainfall next 7-10 days. Temps will be cool/below normal starting tomorrow and over the weekend but will return to several degrees above normal by mid next week. Pattern favors strong high pressure to be anchored over the northeast for the next week plus. Some cool nights upcoming with perhaps some upper 30's far NW parts of the state Sat/Sun/Mon morning. |

Crisp and chilly morning. Had overnight low of 45.
Much better than all the hot/humid weather of the last week or so. Walpack had low of 36 with lots of low 40's across NNJ. |

September precipitation: 3.06 (2.67" fell in first 9 days of month) rainfall has been sparse since then.
Melted precipitation Y.T.D = 37.59" Pattern remains a dry one with little rainfall expected next 7-10 days.
Temps will start the coming week cool but by Tuesday will once again rise to above normal. Most LR guidance continues to point to warmer than normal October. Some slight indications it could turn wetter once to mid month and beyond. Low confidence in that as of now.
