North Jersey residents are once again stepping out into refreshing, fall-like weather as the region remains locked in a September-style pattern that’s been warmly welcomed after a sweltering summer.Good Wednesday morning! As of 4:30 a.m., temperatures in Downtown Newark hovered around a cool 63 degrees under clear skies. It’s the kind of morning that invites a deep breath, a light jacket, and maybe a few extra moments enjoying your commute, whether it’s to work, school, or your favorite café.
According to the National Weather Service, today’s forecast promises plenty of sunshine and comfortable conditions, with highs reaching near 77 degrees.
A gentle northwest breeze will add to the crispness, blowing at 6 to 10 mph.
Tonight, conditions will remain ideal for open windows and restful sleep, with mostly clear skies and lows around 59 degrees.
After a summer filled with hazy, hot, and humid three-day heatwaves, this stretch of cooler, drier air has been a welcome shift across the region.
