NJ Fishing & Boating Weather Outlook: Week Edition Jul 30-Aug 3, 2012

[Pfishingruven]

Another rough week from a weather perspective.  There is a threat of showers and thunderstorms all week, with the greatest chance coming on Tuesday.  Temperatures will be seasonal with highs in the upper 80’s and lows in the mid to upper 60’s with moderate to high humidities.  Due to the higher temperatures and dew points, there will be a risk of severe weather a good part of the week and we will probably see the SPC issue risks of severe weather for our area.  Water conditions inshore and midshore to offshore are rated good all week.

The week will start with weak high pressure across the region.  On Tuesday a warm front will lift through the area while on Tuesday night a weak trough will develop across much of the east coast.  After the warm front moves out, the trough will remain and Wednesday Night into Thursday low pressure will dominate the area through Friday before clearing out.
