Discussion
The warmest stretch of weather so far this season will continue for the next two days with high temperatures in the 90's, but it'll turn cooler and less humid for Sunday and Monday following a strong cold frontal passage. It'll be cooler today at the Jersey Shore as a sea breeze front is likely to push inland and potentially act as a triggering mechanism for isolated late day and evening thunderstorms. A strong cold front approaches the area late tomorrow and there can be some strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity before cooler and less humid air pushes in for Sunday and Monday. After a nice start to the new work week, the heat and humidity will build up again by the middle of next week.
