New Jersey weather forecast predicts temperature drop and frost

New Jersey is expected to experience a significant weather transition over the coming week. Temperatures are forecast to reach the 80s on Wednesday, accompanied by potential rain showers and thunderstorms.

A cooling trend will follow, with temperatures dropping to the 60s on Thursday and more unsettled weather on Friday. By the weekend, a strong cold front is expected to bring a substantial cooldown, with highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s.
