Discussion
High pressure to our north will remain in control of the weather for the next couple of days and continue to anchor a very comfortable air mass for this time of year. The high pressure system shifts offshore by early this weekend and this repositioning will open the door for warmer air to move into the area from the southern states, but no sustained extreme heat is in sight. The chances for rain should be minimal around here for the next few days.
One final note, this cool shot we’re enjoying has been pretty impressive for August. The low temperature at Newark, NJ on Wednesday was 58 degrees. The last time the temperatures fell into the 50’s during the month of August in Newark was in 2008.
