It will feel like summer again in N.J. as warm temps return this weekend

New Jersey is expected to have one more day of cooler temperatures before warmer, summer-like conditions return Friday and last through the weekend and into next week.

Highs on Thursday will range from the mid 70 in northwestern New Jersey to 80 along parts of the Jersey Shore, including in Toms River and Atlantic City, the National Weather Service said.

We’ll have a mix of sun and clouds on another dry, comfortable day. Yet another cool evening is ahead as temps dip into the low to mid 50s overnight and into Friday morning.

It’ll feel more like summer again on Friday as highs reach the low 80s. By Saturday, we’re back to the mid 80s and on Sunday temperatures are expected to climb into the upper 80, forecasters say. It will also be more humid, though not oppressively so, according to AccuWeather.com.

No rain is in the forecast until at least Monday as skies should be sunny all weekend. Overnight lows are expected to steadily rise through the weekend — starting in the upper 50s Friday and ending with lows in the mid 60s Sunday night into Monday.

The forecast also call for Monday to be sunny and warm, though there’s a threat of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon.

The low in Trenton on Wednesday was 52, the coolest August temperature in the capital city in 24 years. At the marina in Atlantic City, the mercury plunged to 57, the lowest reading in August at that spot since 2003, the weather service said. No low temperature records in New Jersey were broken.
