A small low pressure system moving off the New Jersey coast will give our area a chance of showers on Sunday but most of the precipitation will be along southern New Jersey coastal areas. Temperatures with clouds and an onshore wind will be lower with most highs in the low 80s.

The Bermuda high pressure ridge will likely give us quite warm to hot weather much of next week. Monday and Tuesday should be dry with moderate humidity. The humidity will rise toward the end of the week along with a chance of mainly afternoon or evening showers and thunderstorms Wednesday through Friday.
