Dreary & rainy Friday expected ahead of a weekend freeze and cold wind

They're the stars in this one, yeah. And hey, you're our star, Mike Rizzo. Aw, how sweet. Good morning. Oh, he's continuing the Lauren thing. I know, I see what you're doing. Yes, trying to get a new Good Graces. Thank you. Welcome back. I miss you. Yeah, likewise, thank you. Aw, this is so sweet. Nick's like my best friend. I love this bro love. What do we got? He's like, you're not my best friend. That's literally what he just said. Well, it depends on the weather. It depends on the weather, right. So Friday's timeline starts off with unsettled gray conditions and many showers are going to be in the area. So tomorrow morning, it's not too nice, okay? It's dreary, it's uncomfortable, and we're dealing with those showers that are going to be in and out of the area. It could be moderate at times, too. But for the mid-afternoon, we do catch a break. The clouds clear, the sun comes out. It surges unusually to warm 80 degrees. This initially wasn't part of the forecast, but it looks like that warm nose of air does move through. It pushes through, actually, with some vengeance, but that's for the mid-afternoon. And then the evening, you're going to end up with a line of strong thunderstorms after 5 p.m. That's something that we need to watch carefully because those storms could produce some severe weather, which could be capable of producing winds in excess of 40 to 60 miles per hour, pea-sized hail, and a very, very, very low tornado risk out in Hunterdon County and the extreme western areas of Warren County. He's mostly a Pennsylvania problem for the Lehigh Valley, not quite for us here in New Jersey. So this is something to watch carefully because strong storms are in the forecast. Now, look, as you go through tonight, you see those clouds building and that's where we get up to about 56 degrees. We are watching for a cold shot of air that's going to be headed our way for Saturday and into Sunday.
