NJ Fishing & Boating Weather Outlook: Weekend Edition July 21-22, 2012

[Pfishingruven]

As showers and thunderstorms come to an end Friday Night into Saturday morning and Saturday afternoon, the majority of this weekend is looking very nice for most of the state.  Cooler and less humid temperatures will prevail with more predominantly sunny conditions!  Water conditions inshore will be mostly good, with some cautious conditions Saturday.  Midshore to Offshore conditions are cautious for all day Saturday, but good again on Sunday.


Low pressure will develop along a stalled out, previous cold front, Friday night into Saturday and move eastward.  High pressure will then build in the area from the north and east from Canada for the rest of the weekend.
