Freeze warning in northwestern New Jersey tonight into early tomorrow morning

Absolutely. Are you ready? Are you ready for a change? Well, we have no choice, do we? We don't. We don't. At least we're both smiling this morning. We've got cloudy skies and rain that is falling over parts of central and southern New Jersey, folks. The big stories, all right? Let's take a look at what's going on with the weather headlines this Saturday morning, October 17th. Today will be much cooler than yesterday. Yesterday felt like spring. Today, really a fall chill. Tonight, a freeze warning is in effect for northwestern New Jersey. Bring in those potted plants. Cover up those tomato plants. All right. And into next week, days and days of sunshine as we see it right now. And it's the tale of two seasons. As we said yesterday, we got up to 75 degrees. A spring feel tonight, 36 degrees, almost 40 degrees lower with a winter like chill. So you've been forewarned. And right now, 36 of the last 42 weekends have had some type of precipitation because it rained this morning at Newark. So that makes it 36 weekends out of 42. Simply incredible. And what is going on? The front has slowed down. It is moving offshore slowly. If you have rain over southern and central New Jersey, that will quit. And the temperatures today, because of the northerly wind, will be probably staying in the lower to mid-50s, increasing sunshine from south to north during the afternoon hours today. But the big story, overnight tonight, if you're heading outdoors this evening, no weather worries. At around 10 o'clock, temperatures will be in the 30s. Upper 20s for tomorrow morning. It is going to be the coldest morning of the season so far as we continue to monitor the temperature. Now, you've been hearing a lot of chatter about an ocean storm. The good news for us, it does not look like it's going to affect us with rain and strong winds, but it will give the coastal areas high surf and there will be rough seas for the next several days. So stay tuned to the forecast on that. Today, double nickels, sun and clouds, and then much colder overnight tonight.
