New Jersey feels a gentle breeze and a few clouds as a mild cold front moves in on Monday afternoon. The wind is light, about 10 to 15 miles per hour, but gusts can reach 20 to 25 miles per hour. Most places stay dry, though some clouds may roll in.

Nighttime temperatures will dip into the mid‑40s to low 50s, cooler than usual for early June. By Tuesday afternoon the weather will feel normal with highs in the low to mid‑70s and mostly cloudy skies. A single shower might appear but it will be brief.

Midweek, a low‑pressure system forms far offshore. A large high‑pressure area keeps the state mostly dry, but if that low moves closer to shore, cooler air could arrive from the northeast. The Shore might feel a little chill, yet rain remains unlikely.

Wednesday sees temperatures climb into the lower 80s west of I‑95, and by Thursday the heat spreads with mid‑ to upper‑80s across the region. In northern New Jersey, temperatures could reach about 90 degrees.

Friday and Saturday bring the first real June heat wave, with afternoon highs reaching 90 to 95 degrees across most inland areas. A cold front will arrive late Saturday night, bringing showers and thunderstorms that will cool the air for Sunday.
