The forecast for the first workweek of summer shows above-normal temperatures and a daily spot thunderstorm chance.

The Summer Solstice officially arrives at 5:44 p.m. Saturday, and this forecast is filled with summer-ish weather for New Jersey.

Increasing temperatures and dew points accompany a daily chance for showers and thunderstorms in New Jersey's forecast.

Both humidity and temperatures will be on the rise as the first weekend of summer approaches.

Dry air and low humidity will continue to deliver pleasant, comfortable weather conditions and minimal rain chances to New Jersey for another day or two.

Although clouds return to the sky Monday, the first half of this week will feature comfortable, cooler-than-normal, primarily dry weather across New Jersey.

Still somewhat sticky Friday morning with some patchy fog, but our atmosphere will continue to dry out with bright sunshine by Friday afternoon.

High humidity will help fuel some soaking thunderstorms on Thursday, before New Jersey transitions back to more comfortable, pleasant weather.

Wednesday's temperatures will be similar to Tuesday's, but the introduction of high humidity will make conditions more uncomfortable and stifling.
