New Jersey Weather Late Sunday Night: 50.9 and Clear, Frost Advisory to 8 a.m., and an Election Day That Still Reads Dry at 66.9
The temperature has dropped ten degrees since dusk on the station feed. Tonight is the cold one — 39.4 with frost on exposed surfaces — and then the week warms every day through Wednesday before rain arrives Thursday.
New Jersey is cooling into its coldest night of the fall. The station's live feed read 50.9 degrees and clear late Sunday evening, feeling like 45.7, headed for the overnight low of 39.4 that has been on the board all day — cold enough, under clear skies, for the National Weather Service in Mount Holly's Frost Advisory to hold until 8 a.m. Monday. Lawns, windshields and anything tender left outside in the colder suburbs and the Pine Barrens will carry frost at dawn.
The payoff starts within hours. Monday reaches 65.9 degrees with a 2 percent rain chance, and Election Day — Tuesday — reads 66.9 and dry at 2 percent on the current feed, a small downward revision from earlier forecasts that changes no voter's planning: polls open at 6 a.m. under a 43.2-degree morning and close at 8 p.m. in the 60s. Wednesday warms further to 68.5 with overnight lows jumping to 55.7, the surest sign the cold snap is a one-night visitor.
The week's weather story moves to Thursday, when the rain chance reaches 49 percent, and Friday at 59 percent with a high of 62.7. Until then, the practical notes are tonight's: cover the plants, expect a frosted windshield on the early shift, and do not judge the week by its coldest hour — by Tuesday afternoon New Jersey votes in shirtsleeve-adjacent weather, 27 degrees above tonight's floor.
