As residents of Newark and the North Jersey region wake up to a brisk 46 degrees this Monday morning, they're advised to brace themselves for a cooler week ahead, marking a significant shift from last week's milder weather.
The National Weather Service reports current winds to be light, though conditions are expected to become breezier as the day progresses, contributing to a chillier feel in the air.
Today's forecast promises mostly sunny skies, with temperatures reaching a high near 51 degrees, accompanied by west winds blowing at 8 to 15 mph.
However, in the evening, we will see partly cloudy skies, with the mercury dipping to around 34 degrees.
As we officially welcome spring, it's clear that the cold isn't quite ready to leave us.
Residents should not pack away their winter gear just yet; it's time to pull out those jackets again.
Prepare to embrace a cold start to the season, and ensure you stay warm and comfortable as you enjoy the beginning of your week.
