Today is beautiful again with sun and thin clouds. Highs will be in the lower 60s. A thin layer of clouds drapes across the sky throughout this afternoon. It dilutes the sun, but it still remains fair. There can be a light/rogue sprinkle as a result.

It remains pleasant into Wednesday where a front then approaches Wednesday overnight into Thursday AM. Up to 0.75-1.0" of rainfall is possible. Thunderstorms are also expected after 9PM Wednesday.

Thursday morning is unsettled for a bit before improving for midday. Highs will return back to the mid-60s under a mix of broken clouds and sunshine. Friday is fine, and the weekend is a close call with a potential coastal storm that can send rain across New Jersey for Saturday. Although not set in stone, we're watching!
