Weather

We've got about 36 hours of summerlike weather to come, before a big transition. The unseasonable warmth will come crashing to an end this weekend, as a strong cold front sweeps through New Jersey.

80-ish degree temperatures are expected for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, more reminiscent of typical Memorial Day or Labor Day weather than mid-October.

After an active and even violent summer, fall has been treating New Jersey pretty well so far.

A pesky coastal low will throw clouds and sprinkles at NJ for one more day, with a big warmup and then a big cooldown in the forecast.

Want to see sunny skies again? You'll have to wait until the middle of next week.

Partly sunny skies and pleasantly mild temperatures both Thursday and Friday will be followed by cloudy, breezy, cooler, showery weather for the weekend.

Wednesday will probably end up halfway between "blah" and "beautiful," as the clouds part and thin more and more as the day goes on.

Light to moderate rain has impacted mainly northern New Jersey early on this Monday morning. There have been some isolated showers and sprinkles farther south.

This forecast is pretty sunny and pretty spectacular with our next chance of rain holding off until early next week.

My best description for September's finale: It's going to feel like early fall.
