Storm Watch: Rain arrives for the first time in 17 days, downpours for south & eastern NJ through Friday morning

I say data. Data? I say data. Data? Yeah. From the Goonies, data. Don't tell me you never saw the movie. No, I've seen the movie. Oh, okay. No, no, I've seen the movie. I just... I thought I was staging myself. No, no, no, no. But yeah, no, data, data. Tomato, tomato. Yeah. Does it matter, though? No, probably not. Let's talk about the rain coming in. Yeah, it is rain. Yeah. Or is it a shower? No, no, it's a storm. How about a storm? That requires wind and there is none. Oh. See what I did there? All right. Here we are looking at forecasts calling for showers in the area. Yes, we are watching for this activity coming through tonight. That can be a little heavy, too, so a little break this afternoon. And then as you get toward this evening, we do have that front stalling over New Jersey. But then look, we do have this. This is part of the plume of extra rain that's going to be moving toward us, generally South Jersey and then coastal New Jersey, if not eastern New Jersey as well. So tomorrow morning. 58 degrees. Sure, it starts off rather OK, but then look, the rain comes in just as we get to through sunrise. It's going to be a big splash up and down the parkway. So no matter where you are at 830 on the parkway, you're expecting rain. Union County, Essex County, Hudson County, Bergen County, Eastern New Jersey, Middlesex, Monmouth Ocean and then Point South. This is where it's really going to hit. Sure, it will rain elsewhere, but not as heavy. I mean, it's just much lighter elsewhere, but it is going to be a rainy morning on Friday and then eventually that slides offshore and then we end up with improvement like Noon comes around. You're going to be like, what rain? Except Ocean County. Because Ocean County, it does hold on just a little bit longer. Same deal down into southern New Jersey. Northern areas are going to be fine. Sun might even come out of Morristown. Looks good in northern Passaic. Wayne area looks okay. It should be fine Friday afternoon. Temperature is mid-60s. But then the temperatures start to change as we go into the weekend. Come Saturday, we have them in the upper 50s. 55, 57 degrees. Maybe on the cooler side. But then we do end up with a few clouds passing by. The energy kind of loops around around itself. So we end up with another round of light showers overnight Saturday to Sunday. You can see it right there. Quick little sprinkle in northern New Jersey only. And then Sunday looks fantastic, pleasant, sunny and cooler. Look, our 10 day forecast shows next week's weather is just really nice. It's almost like the dry stretch we just had, just not with the warmer temperatures. It's more seasonal with highs in the low sixties.
