Dan Zarrow's Forecast

If someone was describing you, you would want them to say you were mostly nice, right? Like 75% nice? That's about what this holiday weekend will be, if you're counting Friday as the start of it.

Wednesday was pretty dreary all around New Jersey, but that should not be the case again until, well, the day that puts the "holiday" in "holiday weekend."

We've revised the outlook for New Jersey back to what we told you on Monday.

There's a bit of rain to contend with here and there, but the promise of the last summer holiday weekend is enough to make you want to leave work right now.

The Garden State gets a couple more days with temperatures in the 70s before starting to feel more summerlike again.

The heat and horrendous humidity gets zapped from New Jersey's atmosphere Friday, setting up a much more comfortable weekend.

A strong cold front will first drive thunderstorms through New Jersey, before we cool down and dry out for the weekend.

Surprise, surprise - it's going to be another hot, humid, and potentially stormy day for the Garden State. But relief is on the horizon.

Three more steamy, potentially stormy days before the big cooldown arrives.

A Heat Advisory has been issued for both the Philadelphia and New York metro areas, as urban areas feel absolutely stifling in this heat and humidity.
