Across most of New Jersey, Tuesday was a quiet, incredibly pleasant day. Driven by low humidity, plentiful sunshine, and temperatures about five degrees below seasonal normals, there was a hint of “September” in the air.
Brewing just off-shore was a weak disturbance, which was forecast to spit a few spotty showers toward New Jersey’s coastline throughout the day.
One batch of isolated showers was particularly potent, driving tiny pockets of heavy rain southward along the coast from Belmar to Atlantic City, between about 8:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. Tuesday.
