New Jersey Weather Monday Morning: 45 and Clear as the Frost Advisory Runs Out — Election Day 69.3, and Wednesday Revised Up to 70.1
The coldest morning of the fall is the first thing Monday asks of New Jersey. After 8 a.m. the advisory expires, the day warms to 66, and the week peaks not on Election Day but the day after it.
Monday opens at 45 degrees and clear on the station's live feed, feeling like 40, in the last hours of the National Weather Service in Mount Holly's Frost Advisory, which runs until 8 a.m. The overnight low of 41.4 is the bottom of the week's temperature run — every day from here warms, and the frost on this morning's windshields is the fall's coldest statement, made on the first morning commute of standard time.
The warming is steady and, on the current feed, slightly stronger than Sunday's board showed. Monday reaches 66 with a 2 percent rain chance. Election Day, Tuesday, holds at 69.3 with a morning low of 42.5 and a rain chance of 3 percent — dry voting weather by any measure. Wednesday has now been revised up to 70.1 degrees, the warmest high of the week, with overnight lows jumping to 56.1: by midweek the state will be dressing for a different season than the one that frosted it Monday morning.
The rain still waits until the voting is over. Thursday's chance reads 52 percent at a high of 69.2, Friday's 64 percent at 64.2, and Saturday stays unsettled at 47 percent. The shape of the week is three dry, warming days — frost, 66, then 69 and 70 around the election — followed by the wet turn. Monday's only errand is a warm layer for the early hours; after 8 a.m., even that expires.
