A bit more rain is expected Monday, although most of the day will feature partial sunshine and humid conditions. Unsettled weather returns later this week.

It has been a hot and stormy August so far, but New Jersey will now finally break into a brief but welcome stretch of quiet, lovely summer weather.

There is a lot to like in New Jersey's weather forecast, as humidity scales back and daily thunderstorm chances go away.

Thermometers may touch 90 degrees one more time Tuesday, with a couple opportunities for raindrops, then temperatures settle in the seasonable 80s.

Both Monday and Tuesday will end up close to 90 degrees, although I hesitate to call it "hot and humid" after last week's uncomfortable tropical and soupy air.

A Heat Advisory kicks in for most of New Jersey Thursday, with high temps in the 90s, heat index values near 100, and daily spot thunderstorm chances too.

Humidity returns Wednesday with spotty storms, then New Jersey's next streak of 90+ degree temperatures begins Thursday.

New Jersey gets a brief break — one beautiful, dry, comfortably warm August day — before tropical humidity surges and the next heat wave builds in.

The first half of this week looks mainly unsettled with some very heavy rain in play, while the second half of the week turns hot for New Jersey.

New Jersey closes out July and begins July with "typical" mid-summer warmth, although clouds and humidity will be on the rise before our next chance of rain.
