The past few days have been absolutely gorgeous for the region as temperatures reached into the 90s. Yesterday we hit a new record of 93 degrees which is 10 degrees higher than the previous record set back in 1985. On Saturday the maximum temperature of 90 ranged closely to the record of 91 degrees which was set back in 1960. I know I’m enjoying these temperatures they feel like summer! Another good day to get out and enjoy the weather will be occurring tomorrow but Spring is on the rebound, as we can expect a 30 degree drop in temperature, more near the seasonal average of 65, on Wednesday and into the rest of the week.
Area Forecast (April 28-May 3)
For Tuesday we can expect sunny skies with temperatures in the upper 80s and close to 90 in some areas. We can also expect slightly breezy conditions with winds west at 7 to 10 mph which will be increasing to 19 to 22 mph. For Tuesday night, a strong cold front will be moving through the region, with a chance of showers and thunderstorms before 10 pm. For Wednesday we can expect cloudy conditions with a chance of showers throughout the day and a high temperature of 61 degrees. Thursday into Friday looks to bring more Spring showers as a frontal system moves through region and temperatures remain in the mid 60s for both days. For the weekend we can expect a slight warm-up as Saturday looks to be a high temperature of 71 degrees and chance of showers, and for Sunday expect mostly cloudy and temps near 69.
Earth Day 2009 at Kean University was very interesting, the forecast for the day was showers for the afternoon and considering that statement, the weather was pretty good for most of the day. Though the day was cool and a mild 55 was the maximum temperature. Myself, my classmates Amy and Tori, were able to mark storm drains before the events were ordered to wrap up because of the rain. Below is a picture from the event at my school.
*Sorry for the delay in posting entries. I only have 2 weeks left of school and the work has been piling up. I also wanted to state that I did not continue with the internship at NBC 10 in Philly. My schedule for the summer looks packed considering I will be working on a summer research project as part of the Ronald. E. McNair scholarship program. *
