New Jersey’s final spring week brings sunshine, then Thursday heat and storms

The last week of spring in New Jersey will be mostly calm and sunny, with humidity dropping sharply on Monday and temperatures in the 70‑80°F range. Tuesday continues the pleasant pattern with clear skies and mid‑70s highs. Wednesday sees a mild rise in temperature to the low 80s and a slight increase in humidity, with a limited chance of showers on the state's northern and western edges. Thursday will be the most challenging day, as temperatures climb to around 90°F under partly cloudy skies and a noticeable risk of thunderstorms that could bring heavy rain and gusty winds. After Thursday, temperatures are expected to settle back near the normal 80°F range.

The forecast comes as the Summer Solstice arrives early Sunday, officially marking the start of summer.
