New Jersey Weather Forecast: Big Changes Ahead
Today is the first day of fall, and there are some big changes in the forecast for New Jersey. Here are the latest forecast details.

The fall in New Jersey is supposed to be colder. But before we get there, it's going to get warmer — a lot warmer. You may not want to pack away those shorts just yet.
Temperatures will flirt with 90 degrees in New Jersey this weekend, while it will be in the mid 80s at the coast. That's because two hurricanes are moving off the coast, and the tropical weather will have some impact on the state.
None of the rain and wind is expected to come close to the shore, however.

But even with temperatures hitting the mid 80s on Sunday and possibly reaching 90 on Sunday, it probably won't be a good time to swim.
Even though Jose will fade away gradually, swells generated by the lingering storm will continue to cause trouble in coastal areas of the Northeast into this weekend, according to AccuWeather.

Jose transitioned from a tropical storm to a non-tropical storm, similar to a nor'easter, on Thursday. Jose is expected to remain a non-tropical storm and dissipate, AccuWeather Hurricane Expert Dan Kottlowski said in a release.
Rip currents will be strong and frequent into the weekend. Bathers may want to stay out of water past their knees since life guards are no longer on duty, according to AccuWeather.
While tides and breakers will not be as elevated as earlier in the week, minor beach erosion will continue. Water levels will average half a foot to 1.5 feet above levels in absence of storms, according to AccuWeather.

The state will also have an indirect impact from Hurricane Maria next week even if the center of the storm stays offshore, as expected.
At the very least, a new round of rough seas, dangerous surf and beach erosion is in store for much of the East Coast of the United States next week, according to AccuWeater. How severe these conditions get will depend on Maria's strength and proximity to the coast.

Here is the weather forecast:
- Friday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 83. North wind around 10 mph.
- Friday night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 59. North wind around 7 mph.
