Heat Wave Grips New Jersey: Alan’s Weather Blog

High temperatures yesterday were pretty much on the money.  I said 78 to 82, and that's what it got to; 78 in Atlantic City at the airport, and 82 in Wrightstown, Burlington County.

Today, tomorrow and Friday are a different story.  Mostly sunny, hot and humid today after an early patchy fog with highs in the middle 90s, and it will probably feel close to 100 with the humidity.

There will be some relief, however, along the oceanfront at the beaches.

Clear, very warm and humid tonight with a few lows reaching the 60s, but mainly the 70s elsewhere.  The urban areas may hard-pressed to hit below 80.

Another sunny, hot and humid day coming up for tomorrow.  Highs will be, at least, in the middle to upper 90s.  It will feel like over 100.  There may be some relief tomorrow right near the ocean only.

Then, partly sunny, hot and humid on Friday with temperatures in the low 90s, but somewhat cooler near the beach.  There's a good chance of a Friday afternoon and evening thunderstorm.

Over the weekend, we may catch just a bit of a break with temperatures well into the 80s, but hopefully not 90, and some sunshine.
