Discussion              

Low pressure will head to just off the New Jersey coastline by later today bringing us more rain and noticeably cooler conditions than yesterday. Skies will clear some later tonight setting the stage for a very nice day on Friday to close out the work week. With the return of sunshine on Friday, temperatures will climb back to the lower 70’s. Showers return for late Friday night and Saturday - perhaps a thunderstorm as well - signaling the arrival of a cooler air mass for the second half of the weekend.
