Warm and Humid

Moorestown, NJ area forecast (June 11 to June 16)
This past week has been relatively quiet when compared to the severe thunderstorms the region received yesterday morning. The aftermath from the storms left trees uprooted and an downed power lines in some parts of the area. The forecast for the week ahead looks to start off rough but finish smoothly a boundary front which moved into the region on Tuesday will remain in the area until Friday. For tomorrow we can expect patches of fog before 10 am and a chance for thunderstorms throughout the day. Expect a high temperature near 78 degrees and a nighttime low in the mid 60s with southerly winds around 7 to 10 mph, Thursday night. For Friday showers are likely as we can expect southerly winds of 7 to 10 mph and a high of 85. For Friday night expect a chance of showers mainly before midnight and a low near 63 as low pressure developing from the West, pushes the boundary front off the coast Friday night. The weekend looks to be pleasant but humid with temperatures in the lower 80s and partly sunny sky conditions. Another low system from the northeast will move into the region by Sunday night as we can expect a chance of showers for Sunday night and a low around 60. For Monday we can expect a chance for showers and a high temperature of 75 and a nighttime low of 63. A high pressure system settles into the region for Tuesday as we can expect a high near 78 and mostly cloudy skies.
