Looks like most of the severe weather threat is over for NJ.  Storms seem to die out before getting through most of the state...no complaints here, though!  There  is still a chance of rain showers and/or an isolated thunderstorm.

Tomorrow should be beautiful...Sunny, highs in the upper 70's leading into a mostly clear night with lows in the mid to upper 50's.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!!

There are still Small Craft Advisories, again for much of the East Coast from Maine south through North Carolina.  For our area, Sandy Hook, NJ to Fenwick Island, DE excluding New York Harbor, Raritan Bay and Delaware Bay.  There is also a HIGH risk of rip currents today for all adjacent ocean waters of NJ.

Besides that, the skies are clear and sunny, temperatures are in the mid 70's and it shouldn't get too much hotter.  Humidity is moderate and will be getting lower today and as the week moves on.  Should be dry today.  Overnight, lows will get down into the mid 50's, something we haven't seen in several months.

Enjoy!
