Warmup Ahead For NJ After Chilly Conditions, Thunderstorms: Latest Forecast

Below average temperatures and rainy conditions, including thunderstorms, are in store for New Jersey this week ahead of a big warmup, according to the latest forecast.

Following a Frost Advisory Monday night into Tuesday, things are expected to warm up slightly.

As we get into midweek, showers and thunderstorms are expected with a cold front, according to forecasters.

“From mid- to late week, a late-spring, clipperlike system diving south out of central Canada into the Great Lakes and East could spark some gusty thunderstorms across the Northeast and mid-Atlantic,” said AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Tyler Roys.



The bulk of the rain is expected Wednesday.

“The details will depend on the timing of the closed low and its track, however as it arrives showers will be on the increase Wednesday afternoon and especially Wednesday night before tapering off into Thursday as a cold front shifts offshore,” National Weather Service forecasters said.

As the storm departs, temperatures will begin to climb again. Forecasters expect temperatures to get to warm to potentially hot this weekend.

Saturday will see temperatures in the high 70s to lower 80s, becoming widespread 80s on Sunday, according to the National Weather Service. Conditions will be cooler by the coast.

“The heat looks to build into early next week with even hot conditions possible. Highs Monday are forecast to be in the 80s with even some areas reaching 90 degrees (again cooler along the coast),” the National Weather Service said.

Dry conditions are also expected from this weekend into early next week.
