Parts of the area may still see a shower or thunderstorm early this evening otherwise a warm and somewhat humid night returns for the tri-state area with patchy clouds as the low temperature for Midtown reaches 69 degrees with 58-65 degrees across the suburbs.

Sunshine and warmer weather moves in for Wednesday as a high pressure system ridges in our directions from the southwest. This will create more of a westerly wind which will bring in some drier and and likely inhibit thunderstorm development. High temperatures will rise into the mid and upper 80s with not much of a sea breeze along the coast. A few clouds will be in the area Wednesday night as the low temperature heads down to 70 degrees in Midtown and 62-68 degrees across the suburbs.

Hot and humid weather will headline Thursday with sunshine and some puffy clouds. High temperatures will climb into the low 90s for most places but remain in the 80s along the coast.

By Independence Day, a storm system will begin to approach from the west. It will remain humid ahead of this system as a combination of sun and clouds develops along with the threat of showers and thunderstorms Friday afternoon into Friday evening. We'll be able to time these out better the closer we get to Friday to see how they may impact fireworks displays for Friday night. High temperature will be mainly in the low 80s.

More of the same is expected for Saturday and Sunday but there will be more clouds than sun each day along with a greater chance for showers and thunderstorms each afternoon and evening. High temperatures will be in the low to mid 80s.

Parts of the area may still see a shower or thunderstorm early this evening otherwise a warm and somewhat humid night is ahead for the tri-state area with some clouds around from time to time. The low temperature for Midtown will be 68 degrees with 58-65 degrees across the suburbs.

Tuesday will turn out to be similar to today with sunshine along with some clouds that may build up into an isolated shower or thunderstorm later in the afternoon and early evening. High temperatures will rise into the low 80s with 75-80 along the coast. Expect some patchy clouds to be around for Tuesday night as the low temperature heads down to 69 degrees in Midtown and around 60 degrees for the coolest suburbs.

The nicest days of this week will be Wednesday and Thursday as high pressure builds in from the southwest. We'll have lots of sunshine each day and with a more westerly wind temperatures will on the warmer side. High temperatures each day will be in the mid to upper 60s.

By Independence Day, a storm system will begin to approach from the west. It will turn a bit more humid ahead of this system as a combination of sun and clouds develops along with the threat of showers and thunderstorms later Friday into Friday evening. We'll be able to time these out better the closer we get to Friday to see how they may impact fireworks displays for Friday night. High temperature will be in the low to mid 80s.

More of the same is expected for Saturday but there will be more clouds than sun along with a greater chance for showers and thunderstorms Saturday afternoon into Saturday night. High temperatures will be in the low 80s.

I am an easy going kind of person. I love to laugh.  I love life.  I learned that from my parents who only wanted joy for their children.   

One thing I loved most in this world was my mother, Betty "Boo" Moore.  She left me this week,  passing from this life into glory.  She loved her children, POKENO, shrimps, cooking shows, parties and weathermen, especially Fox NY's Mike Woods.  She always said,   "boy can he dance".  He made her smile and she made me grin.    It  rained this past Friday when we laid her to rest and I knew she would have worried about her hair, driving conditions and why didn't Mike say to bring an umbrella? 

Born April 12 1934  she sunset at 74 years old  on July 19th.  My mother was the  absolute life of the party.  A beautiful woman with a beautiful spirit.  Gone too soon.  Will miss you much. Love you always . . .

Attention Fox weather persons, your  wrong I am also a backyard weather person, and go by your focasts to help me, lately you have said thunder showers, but where are they not in Somset county Cental NJ, back yard garden people like my wife need rain for gardens, and famous NJ tomtoes, corn to grow with aid of rain, now when is it coming?

We dodged the heavy, drenching thunderstorms Thursday, but we didn't escape the humidity. There will not be much relief Thursday night into Friday, as the overnight lows will be in the upper 60s and low 70s. Weak high pressure is expected to move into the region Friday and that will set up hot, hazy and humid conditions. Temperatures on Friday will be in the upper 80s and low 90s across the region. Dew point temperatures will be in the 60s and that will make it feel even more uncomfortable by the afternoon.

Get ready for an unsettled weather pattern as we head into the weekend. An area of low pressure is expected to move out of the Great Lakes region and press into the Tri-State by Saturday afternoon. With the trough of low pressure overhead and an increase in humidity, there will be a few thunderstorms that pop up Saturday afternoon. Saturday night, the storm system is going to stall near the region.

As a result, you're going to find a prolonged period of showers and storms. In fact, I think the showers and thunderstorms will be even more widespread Sunday. Don't pack away the umbrellas, yet. The shower and thunderstorm threat will remain for the beginning of next week. By Wednesday, high pressure will settle back into the region.

Once the sun goes down, the widely scattered showers and thunderstorms should start to taper off Tuesday night. The overnight low in Midtown will fall down to 65 degrees with middle 50 and 60 degree temperatures tonight in the suburbs. As the trough of low pressure exits the region tonight, the skies will become mostly clear. As the winds start to shift out of the northwest, the humidity will start to drop. This will be the trend, midweek, too.

Wednesday looks to be the nicest day so far of the week. Sun will blanket the region, as high pressure builds back into the area. Temperatures will be in the middle and lower 80s, but with lower humidity, it should feel pretty comfortable. Much of Thursday should be dry, but you will find a few more clouds by the afternoon. A cold front will be slowly approaching from the west. As a result, the winds will start to come out of the southwest and the humidity will return to the region.

The heat has been building across the Plains and the Midwest will also return to our area. The soaring temperatures out west are expected to moderate, but they will be heading into the Tri-State by the end of the week and into the weekend. Thursday and Friday, temperatures will be in the upper 80s and an increase in humidity will spark off late day showers and storms. In fact showers and thunderstorms are back in the forecast Thursday afternoon through Saturday, until a cold front comes through late on Sunday.  

Where or when is going to thunder shower, I am puzzed even at my hobby as a backyard weather person, and Fox weather, where when is going to thunder shower, you have been 100% wrong for few days mainly in the Somerset county Cental NJ where and when are we here going to get heavy rain and thunder and lighting, will you ever be correct?Oh I have been wrong to with my  own predictions also, will you ever be correct?

Showers and thunderstorms will still threaten the area through Monday evening. Some of these storms may produce locally heavy rainfall, some hail, and the potential for damaging wind gusts. A Flood Watch is in effect for New York City, northeast New Jersey, the lower Hudson Valley until 8 P.M. Later tonight we'll be left with some clouds along with patchy fog as the low temperature heads down to 66 degrees for Midtown and 58-65 degrees across the suburbs.

We'll still be under the influence of this upper level disturbance which has been creating thunderstorms for the last 2 days. It appears that this disturbance will begin to pull away tomorrow so expect a combination of sun and clouds with the risk of some showers or a thunderstorm again in the afternoon and evening. These will be much more spotty in nature so a lot of the area may not have to deal with these showers and storms tomorrow. High temperatures will rise into the low 80s. The sky will become mainly clear Tuesday night with a low temperature of 65 degrees for Midtown and 55-63 degrees across the suburbs.

Wednesday is looking to be the best day of the week at this point with high pressure building in from the west. We'll enjoy a sunny sky as high temperature rise into the low to mid 80s.

A series of storm systems will impact the area starting again on Thursday. Thus, from Thursday through Saturday each day will feature a combination of sun and clouds along with the threat of showers and some thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening. Thursday and Saturday have the greatest chance in having this with Friday likely to only see a wide scattering of any showers or thunderstorm. High temperatures will generally be in the mid to upper 80s with overnight low temperatures in the upper 60s to around 70 degrees.
