Weak high pressure will give us a dry and partly sunny day and after highs only in the 30s the last 3 days today the highs will be well up into the 40s and with light winds it will feel more comfortable. A weak warm front may cause some showers late tonight into tomorrow morning, some of the showers may be mixed with snow across inland sections of northwest New Jersey.
Thursday will be a mild but breezy day, a cold front will cross the area late in the day but we should see no precipitation with the front.
Friday should be a mostly sunny and breezy day with seasonably cool temperatures.
The weekend looks to be mainly dry with near seasonable temperatures continuing.
A somewhat stronger frontal system will give us a chance of showers Sunday night into Monday along with milder temperatures.
Dry and cooler on Tuesday as high pressure builds into our area.
