Good Thursday morning, New Jersey! We’re starting the day on a dry note, but that’s going to change as rain moves into Newark and much of North Jersey, with some heavy downpours expected.
We hope you’re waking up feeling good and ready for the day. Temperatures are relatively mild this morning, with readings in the 50s around downtown Newark.
If you’re heading out early, you should be fine for now, but definitely keep that umbrella nearby.
Rain is expected to begin moving into the Newark area by late morning, with more widespread showers developing around midday and continuing into Friday.
According to the National Weather Service, rain is expected mainly after 10 a.m., with a high near 60 degrees. East winds will reach 7 to 10 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph.
The chance of precipitation is 90%, with up to three-quarters of an inch of rain possible.
Tonight, rain will continue as temperatures drop to around 41 degrees. Winds could gust up to 25 mph, with additional rainfall expected.
So, Jersey, enjoy the dry weather while it lasts, give yourself some extra travel time later today, and don’t forget those umbrellas.
Have a great Thursday, and stay safe out there, New Jersey!
