A nor’easter is forecast to affect the Jersey Shore Monday into Tuesday night this coming week, producing heavy rain and strong winds, but no snow with temperatures remaining in the 40s and 50s.
The National Weather Service is predicting the storm will begin Monday as clouds and showers roll in during the afternoon, with the rain becoming steady and heavier overnight into Tuesday. The heavy rain will continue during the day on Tuesday and taper off as the evening approaches, forecasters say. Temperatures on Monday will top out near 43 degrees while on Tuesday they will rise to 51 after an overnight low around 40.
The high temperatures mean the nor’easter will not produce any snow in New Jersey.
