A strong high pressure over Quebec will give us a dry day today and with a southeast flow off the ocean will give us below normal temperatures which has not happened much this month, highs will be in the 40s. The day will start off clear but we should see an increase in clouds this afternoon.

A weak frontal system will give us a chance of light rain on Tuesday that may be mixed with snow across northwest New Jersey in the morning. Temperatures will rebound with highs in the 50s.

High pressure will give our area a nice day on Wednesday with plenty of sunshine and seasonably mild temperatures.

Showers are likely Thursday and Friday as a warm front moves through on Thursday followed by a cold front late Friday. Temperatures will be seasonably mild on Thursday then become quite warm on Friday.

At this point the upcoming weekend looks dry with cooler temperatures.
