SACRUS Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 61 / 49 60 hour cool period and coolest since May 19/20th as cut off low swings north and east Tue - Thu. Warmer by Thu and the warmer areas should get back above 80. Much warmer Fri - Sun with next shot at some heat 90s. GFS cuts off trough under the ridge building north Mon (8/26) while the Euro keeps the cut off off shore. GFS would be a cooler and perhaps wetter Mon - Wed and the Euro would continue and push heat into the area. Beyond there a warmer look overall with main heat west coming eat in pushes. https://synoptic.envsci.rutgers.edu/img/vis_nj_anim.gif 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
