Memorial Day Weekend Forecast For NJ: Will The Sun Ever Come Out?

Forecasters say a much-needed dry-up is on the way for the area after days of excessive rainfall. But will the sunshine linger through Memorial Day Weekend?

Some dryer conditions are expected to finish off this weekend, AccuWeather says, noting Sunday will be less soggy than Saturday. However, we should expect the chance of some additional showers throughout the day. More showers and thunderstorms are possible even Monday into Tuesday.

The good news is, the number of showers and thunderstorms to pass through the mid-Atlantic region will decrease by midweek. Temperatures will also rise.

AccuWeather says some steamy air may surge back in to start the Memorial Day holiday weekend. The extended forecast says we should expect the long weekend to start off with sunshine on Friday and Saturday. Some thunderstorms are possible on Sunday and Monday of the long weekend.

The region is in need of some dry weather. Several rounds of thunderstorms last week caused flooding issues, with some roads closed due to water overrun and downed trees. There were severe thunderstorm warnings and even a tornado warning on Tuesday.

South Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania were among the areas hardest hit by those storms, AccuWeather said.

Here is the extended forecast for the Jersey Shore, according to The Weather Channel:

Sunday: PM showers

Monday: Partly cloudy

Tuesday: Showers

Wednesday: Morning clouds, afternoon sun

Thursday: Sunny

Friday: Sunny

Saturday: Partly cloudy

Sunday: PM showers

Monday (Memorial Day): Scattered thunderstorms
