As of 4:30 a.m., it was 64 degrees on Munn Avenue and South Orange Avenue in Newark’s West Ward, with light breezes providing a pleasant start to the day.
Meteorologists say conditions will warm slightly compared to the gorgeous weekend weather, offering a comfortable transition into Monday.
The National Weather Service has noted moderate air quality due to Canadian wildfire haze, but it is not expected to impact the region significantly.
