Today’s weather in New Jersey brings a damp and brisk start to the weekend. Rain is expected to develop mainly after 2 PM, accompanied by a high near 42 degrees.
A southwest wind of around 15 mph will keep things blustery, with gusts reaching up to 30 mph. Precipitation is likely but light, with totals of less than a tenth of an inch anticipated. As evening falls, rain will persist, tapering off before 11 PM, with skies remaining cloudy. The temperature will drop to a low near 35 degrees as winds shift northwest at 5 to 10 mph, gusting up to 20 mph.
There is a chance rain could turn to snow in some northwestern parts of the state, and at higher elevations.
Saturday promises a welcome break from the rain, with mostly sunny skies and a mild high of 52 degrees, a noticeable improvement from today. The northwest wind will still be a factor, blowing at 10 to 15 mph and occasionally gusting as high as 30 mph.
Saturday night will remain dry with partly cloudy skies and a low near 39 degrees. A west wind of around 10 mph, with occasional gusts up to 20 mph, will maintain a cool and breezy feel.
Sunday continues the trend of sunny and mild weather, with highs reaching 54 degrees under mostly sunny skies. The west wind will pick up slightly, blowing at 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph, keeping the day feeling fresh and invigorating. As Sunday night approaches, temperatures will dip to a chilly 32 degrees with partly cloudy skies.
Comparing this weekend’s weather to typical November conditions in New Jersey, highs in the low to mid-50s and lows in the 30s align closely with the seasonal averages. However, the gusty winds and today’s rain bring a dynamic start to an otherwise calm and pleasant late-autumn weekend.
