Dan Zarrow's Forecast

This week features some of the nicest weather days of the entire year, thanks to sunshine, very low humidity, and warm temperatures.

Sunny skies. Dry weather. Low humidity. A light breeze. Warm temperatures. We won't have to battle humidity, clouds, and raindrops again until later this week.

As high pressure builds in, New Jersey will be treated to a series of pleasant days, before our weather turns warmer, more humid, and stormier for the weekend.

Waves of spotty showers will lead to a final round of heavy thunderstorms late Monday night, before fantastic weather resumes across New Jersey by midweek.

Pockets of very heavy rain will once again be a big concern during Wednesday's thunderstorms, followed by cooler, more comfortable weather in the coming days.

I hope you're ready to "chew through the air" Tuesday, as heat and blazing sunshine take a backseat to humidity and thunderstorms.

Monday will be New Jersey's third day in a row of 90+ degree temperatures, making it our first official heat wave of the year.

Strong to severe thunderstorms are likely in the Garden State on Thursday, as conditions become notably more summer-ish in the coming days.

Several waves of showers will sweep through New Jersey in the coming days, including a risk for thunderstorms and severe weather.

Don't worry! This time around, we're not talking about the kind of soggy, gloomy, chilly mess that plagued most of the Memorial Day Weekend.

The short answer: Not until Monday. Rain, wind, cold temperatures, and coastal flooding will make this one of the nastiest Memorial Day Weekends in memory.

2+ inches of rain, 30+ mph wind gusts, temperatures 20+ degrees below normal, and minor to moderate coastal flooding? Yuck.
