New Jersey residents are set to experience a potpourri of weather conditions over the Labor Day weekend. Today’s forecast predicts scattered thunderstorms and rain showers, primarily before 10 a.m. The day will mostly be overcast, with mercury levels peaking at a comfortable 73 degrees Fahrenheit. A comparatively cool breeze from the east at around 10 mph will add to the freshness of the day, and there’s a 30% likelihood of precipitation.
As far as rainfall is concerned, the volume of new water falling is expected to be under one-tenth of an inch, but thunderstorms may possibly bring more. As the night starts to roll in, there’s a marginal chance of rain before 1 a.m. The night’s ambience will be characterized by a predominantly cloudy sky, and temperatures will drop down to around 65 degrees Fahrenheit.
The night will be breezy but tranquil as the winds from the east slow down to approximately 5 mph, ultimately becoming calm as the night advances. The probability of rain will decrease slightly to 20%. As New Jersey steps into the weekend, Saturday will invite partly sunny skies, with temperatures reaching close to 83 degrees Fahrenheit.
Winds are expected to be calm during the early hours of the day, shifting direction from the south at around 5 mph later in the afternoon. This will collate and make an overall amenable setting. However, the weather does hold a potential for a surprising twist. Forecasts show potential showers and thunderstorms brewing after 2 a.m.
The likelihood of showers strengthens as the night progresses, with the possibility of a thunderstorm making an appearance later on. The sky is expected to gradually fill up with clouds while temperatures hover around 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Winds will stay mild during this time, while the rain odds increase to 60%.
Rainfall amounts are expected to be between one-tenth and one-quarter of an inch, but thunderstorms have the potential to bring additional rain.

Regardless of the unpredictable weather, temperatures will escalate to a high nearing 86 degrees Fahrenheit, beneath the primarily overcast skies. A southwest wind at approximately 5 mph will present a mild breeze, and the precipitation odds hold steady at around 60%, with the potential for thunderstorms bringing additional rainfall.
As Sunday night approaches, the clouds will start to disperse, leaving the sky partly cloudy, with temperatures dropping to around 63 degrees Fahrenheit. This sets the stage for what is anticipated to be a splendid Labor Day. The actual Labor Day is anticipated to be bathed in sunshine and pleasant temperatures, with a high around 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
As darkness blankets the sky, evening temperatures are expected to plunge to about 54 degrees Fahrenheit. The night sky will be clear, laying out an ideal setting for a cool, comfortable evening. The entire weekend, in its essence, will present a fusion of sun, clouds, and spotty rain.
Hence, it’s suggested that residents remain vigilant of the weather forecasts—particularly if outdoor activities have been planned.
