Good morning. New Jersey. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside right now and you'll feel something unusual for early March, we're sitting at 49 degrees. And that's just the beginning, today's bringing record-challenging heat across the Garden State. Moving on. Dense fog is hugging the coast this morning, especially down in Atlantic City and Cape May. Visibility's down to a quarter mile in spots, so take it slow if you're driving near the shore before 10 A.M. Once that burns off, sunshine takes over statewide. Temperature-wise. Now for the temperatures — and this is where it gets interesting. Up north around Newark, you're climbing to 76 degrees, while central Jersey hits 78. Down south along the coast? The ocean's keeping you cooler at 56, but that's still mild for March 10th. We're talking 31 degrees above normal across most of the state, some spots could challenge records set back in 2016. As the sun sets. Light southwest winds stay gentle through the day, then. Shift south tonight, while another round of coastal fog is possible after dark. Lows tonight settle in the upper 40s to low 50s — warmer than many April nights. Wednesday continues the warmth. Highs reach the mid to upper 70s inland, though the coast stays cooler again in the upper 50s. Clouds increase through the day. And a few showers are possible late. Temperature-wise. Here's where things get interesting, a strong cold front barrels through Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Rain moves in overnight, potentially heavy at times with gusty winds, while some thunderstorms are possible. Then Thursday, temperatures crash. You'll wake up in the 50s but fall through the 40s all day as northwest winds gust to 30 miles an hour. Rain may even mix with wet snow Thursday afternoon before ending. Friday and Saturday bring partly sunny skies with highs in the upper 40s to low 50s — back to seasonal norms. Soak in this warmth today. It won't last. Looking ahead. See you this afternoon.
