Rain on Thursday & Friday comes with some uncertainty, but cooler weather definitely follows

Weather conditions are going to be deteriorating for tomorrow, gradually throughout the day as rain showers arrive. Before we get there, we have a gorgeous day today with temperatures that will be in the mid-70s. We get down to 59 degrees tonight with building clouds. You can see some of the rain off to the west by tomorrow morning. A lot of that rain, a lot of that energy is going to scoot just north of New Jersey, but the front is going to be dragged down south across our area just like this, as you can see. So as we go into the later morning, showers begin. Going into the afternoon, we'll see a couple of scattered moments of rain as well But again, most of that first batch of rain scoots just north of the state for tomorrow, and then we're left with the dragging portions of that front that will continue to cycle in a couple of lighter showers. So there will be an overcast, showers to begin, Ocean County, you might get a little break of sun. As you can see, the rain will be a little bit on and off for Thursday, and it's possible that overnight into early on Friday morning, heavier rain returns with another batch that's being pulled from the south. Depending on the speed of this front, that heavy rain could end up offshore.
