The last weekend in July leaves half of the weekend weather up in the air, while the other half is looking very nice. Saturday has a good chance of more widespread showers and/or thunderstorms, while the weather forecast for Sunday looks great. Water conditions are all rated good both inshore and midshore to offshore for all adjacent coastal waters of NJ.
Low pressure will dominate the area most of Saturday settling just to our south as a weak cold front moves south through the area Friday Night into Saturday. Weak high pressure will move in Sunday and remain for part of the upcoming week.
