A rollercoaster of a week between unsettled and settled weather with a start of cautious and hazardous water conditions. As a strong cold front pushes through the area Sunday Night into Monday morning, the week will start with showers and even some thunderstorms and strong winds 10-20 mph with gusts in excess of 60 mph during the overnight hours. Monday Day will continue with mostly cloudy to cloudy skies with chances of rain showers. By Monday Night conditions will start to clear with mostly clear skies, and dry conditions through Friday before rain chances return. The middle of the week will be sunny with some clouds before mostly cloudy conditions return on Friday with possible rain. This should clear out by Saturday for a clear weekend. High temperatures will be in the 40’s and 50’s. Overnight lows will get down into the 20’s and 30’s again. Monday will be very windy with 15-20 mph winds with gusts to 35 mph through Tuesday Night before diminishing. Water conditions will be cautious to hazardous with Small Craft Advisories statewide, Dense Fog Advisories for Raritan Bay through Sandy Hook and Gale Warnings for Offshore waters east of Sandy Hook and south of Long Island through Tuesday Night. Tuesday Night or Wednesday will see a diminishing of winds and seas with SCA’s being dropped and good conditions returning through the weekend. Water temperatures are in the 40’s and 50’s. Surf and beach conditions will vary this week from good to ok to maybe even cautious at times. Gusty westerly winds will start the week with wave heights 2-4 feet followed by increasing seas midweek 2-5 feet. UV Index will be Low 2/15.
A strong cold frontal boundary will move through the region late Sunday Night and Monday Morning. High pressure will build in behind this front reaching the East Coast on Wednesday. Another cold front will move across the Midwest on Thursday before moving into the Ohio Valley and New England on Friday. High pressure will build in behind this front next weekend.
The weekend looks dry and cold with good water and surf conditions. This will depend on the cold front being on time and moving in by Friday. If it is delayed at all, rain chances could carry over into Saturday!
Have a great week!
