A weak disturbance along a front to our south will cause showers and a chance of a thunderstorm. With an onshore flow and considerable cloudiness, temperatures will be below normal with most highs only in the upper 70s.

After a chance of an early morning shower on Saturday we should see some breaks in the clouds and it will become seasonably warm.

Sunday looks to be the best day of the weekend with mostly sunny skies and temperatures slightly above normal.

Quite warm to hot weather much of next week as a high pressure ridge offshore give us a southwest flow. Monday should be dry but there will be a chance of mainly afternoon and evening showers Tuesday through the end of next week.

Yesterday Tropical storm Isaias moved about 50 miles west of Clifton giving our area 1.59″ of rain while western parts of New Jersey received 4-6 inches. Winds were very strong in our area causing widespread power outages. My station recorded a 42.5 mph gust which was the highest wind speed since Hurricane Sandy, although since the station has many trees I estimate the winds actually gusted to 50-55 mph here.

Today will be a much quieter weather day with plenty of sunshine and temperatures slightly above normal. The humidity will be a little high this morning but drop by mid day.

Tomorrow again will be sunny but temperatures will be a little cooler as we will have more of an onshore wind.

There will be a chance of some showers Thursday night into Friday as a weak trough moves into the area.

The weekend should be dry with temperatures a little above seasonably levels.

At this time early next weeks looks to be quite warm with a chance of afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms both Monday and Tuesday.
