Good morning, New Jersey, and happy Tuesday!
We’re rolling right along this week, waking up to a brisk morning in Newark and across the North Jersey region.
If you’re among the early birds getting started around 4:30 a.m., temperatures are sitting at 51 degrees in downtown Newark, so you’ll definitely want to grab a jacket before heading out.
The good news is that we’re expecting a pleasant afternoon, making today one of our picks of the week for some enjoyable fall weather.
Temperatures vary across the Garden State this morning, with Sussex County at 48 degrees, Morristown at 41, Somerville at a chilly 37, Haledon at 44, Paterson at 45, and Toms River at 51 degrees.
According to the National Weather Service, skies will remain mostly cloudy through midmorning before gradually clearing, allowing plenty of sunshine to brighten our Tuesday.
We’re looking at a high near 63 degrees, with west winds of 6 to 14 mph and occasional gusts reaching 25 mph.
Tonight, skies will turn clear as temperatures drop to around 45 degrees, with lighter west winds of 5 to 7 mph.
With no precipitation expected, today is shaping up to be one of the nicer days of the week, especially considering the changing weather conditions ahead.
Enjoy your Tuesday, New Jersey, stay warm during the morning commute, and make the most of this pleasant fall afternoon!
