Weather

Wednesday starts wet and ends gray, making outdoor activities difficult. But New Jersey's forecast is about to clear up and warm up considerably.

While Tuesday and Wednesday will be damp and dreary across New Jersey, the end of the week will trend warmer and brighter.

Monday will be a continuation of this weekend's warm, dry weather, but Tuesday looks like the wettest day of the week.

A band of steady, heavy rain Friday morning will break apart to scattered showers for most of New Jersey by the afternoon.

Friday could be New Jersey's wettest day of the week.

Parts of New Jersey could pick up over an inch of rain later this week.

This week's beneficial rainfall probably will not completely erase drought and wildfire concerns, but it certainly helps.

Every day this week has a rain chance plugged into the forecast, but most of New Jersey's soggy weather will be spotty to scattered.

We are still tracking a daily rain chance for New Jersey through the middle of next week, although there will be far more dry hours than wet ones.

We really do need the rain, with 40 percent of NJ still in drought, but why must inclement weather dampen all our spring weekends.
