According to the National Weather Service, Sunday will bring mostly sunny skies with temperatures reaching a high of 54°F. By Sunday night, a cold front is forecast to generate scattered showers and possible thunderstorms after midnight, with rain chances peaking at 60%. Drivers on Route 5 and other major roadways should anticipate slick conditions into early Monday.
Next week begins with mild conditions Monday as temperatures rise to 55°F under mostly sunny skies. However, chances for rain increase Tuesday afternoon, with a 40% likelihood of showers moving into the area. Southeast winds will pick up Tuesday night, potentially fueling stronger showers.
