After a stormy and chilly Wednesday, residents across Newark and the North Jersey region are waking up to a more comfortable and promising start to Thursday.

As of 4:30 a.m., it’s 66 degrees with light winds and partly cloudy skies along 12th Avenue and South 7th Street in Newark.
The atmosphere hints at a shift in pace, almost like summer’s final bow, as temperatures are expected to climb near 83 degrees today.
According to the National Weather Service, patchy fog may linger before 8 a.m., but skies will gradually clear up to make way for sunshine.
With light west winds between 3 to 5 mph, conditions are ideal for outdoor activities, including lunch al fresco.
Tonight, expect mostly clear skies with a low around 64 degrees, setting up for a mild and pleasant evening.
Whether you’re heading to work, catching a morning bus, or planning a midday stroll, Thursday is shaping up to be one of the nicest days of the week.

Enjoy it while it lasts, New Jersey and have a great day!
