Dan Zarrow's Forecast

A stuck storm system will keep our weather unsettled and sporadically soggy for both Thursday and Friday, but the weekend looks wonderful.

The weather will fully cooperate with Isaias cleanup and power restoration efforts, as we face a spectacular summer day before more unsettled weather returns.

Here is a county-by-county, hour-by-hour breakdown of this nasty tropical storm day.

Strong winds will be the biggest impact for the Jersey Shore, while heavy rain and flooding will be worst along the Delaware River in western New Jersey.

Obviously, the big weather headline of the week is Tropical Storm Isaias, set to bring bands of heavy rain and very strong winds to New Jersey on Tuesday.

It's time to take Tropical Storm Isaias seriously, if you haven't already, and begin preparing for heavy rain, wind, and surf.

This Isaias update contains a small sigh of relief for New Jersey, especially along the Jersey Shore.

But just how much rain, wind, surge, and surf New Jersey and the Jersey Shore sees is still a big question mark at this time.

The storm is difficult to pronounce, and the forecast is becoming more precarious for the entire U.S. East Coast, including New Jersey and the Jersey Shore.

Periods of rain will be heavy at times through most of Friday, with thick clouds and stagnant, cooler-than-normal temperatures.
