Nj August News Today

There is a chance of steady rain on the horizon, pushing into New Jersey early next week.

The key to our recent string of nice weather has been dry air. But humidity will be on the rise across New Jersey in the coming days.

We really need a good soaking, as almost 80 percent of New Jersey is currently classified as abnormally dry or worse.

It will take another day or two for deliciously dry, refreshing air to return to New Jersey.

Two batches of rain and thunderstorms will precede the arrival of cooler, much drier air in New Jersey.

Dangerous heat and humidity continue this week across New Jersey. Resistance is futile. Although a series of cold fronts will drive in more comfortable weather.

Tuesday will be hot and humid again, about 10 to 15 degrees warmer than Monday. An isolated shower is possible as a weak cold front pushes through New Jersey.

The first week of August brings two headlines in the forecast: building heat and humidity, and some wet weather that could alleviate spiraling drought concerns.

Although New Jersey's 8-day heat wave is over, we are tracking spotty showers, clouds, and a return to hotter weather in the forecast.
