AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
237 PM EDT Thu Oct 2 2025
Weather Synopsis:
High pressure across the Northeast remains in control through
the weekend and into early next week. A slightly more unsettled
pattern may begin to take shape entering mid-week, with a cold
front approaching from the west.
Near Term:
THROUGH FRIDAY -
Aside from a fair-weather cumulus field, cool and dry conditions
for the rest of the afternoon.
Strong high pressure remains dominant across the Northeastern
US, bringing cool and dry temperatures. For tonight, nice and
cool once again. Winds will become calm though there will be
some high clouds around, so while radiational cooling will
certainly occur, we are not expecting temperatures to crater
below consensus. Lows are forecast to be in the low 40s to
around 50 (low to mid 50s along the coast), though a few
sheltered locations that see breaks in the clouds could dip into
the 30s. Some patchy frost is possible, mainly across the Pocono
Plateau, Lehigh Valley, and northwest NJ, but conditions are not
ideal at the moment to signal widespread frost.
For Friday, another fantastic fall day in store. High pressure
remains dominant with partly cloudy to mostly clear skies and
light winds. Highs will only get into the low 70s.
Short Term:
FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT -
Our expansive high pressure system remains the dominant weather
feature through the short term period. This keeps the tranquil
weather pattern going into the weekend. Friday night and Saturday
night look mostly clear with minimal cloud cover. During the day
Saturday, it is a mostly sunny day. Highs on Saturday will be in the
mid to upper 70s. Lows Friday night and Saturday night are mainly in
the upper 40s to mid 50s.
Long Term:
SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY -
During the long term period, we do start to see some changes in our
weather pattern. The expansive high pressure system remains in
control through Monday night. Through this time period, the high
pressure system continues to shift offshore but we are still able to
feel the influence from it. This keeps the dry and tranquil
conditions going into the beginning of next week. Cloud cover
continues to be pretty minimal during this time period with mostly
clear nights and mostly sunny days. Temperatures are in the mid
70s to low 80s for highs Sunday and Monday with overnight lows
in the 50s Sunday night and mid 50s to low 60s Monday night.
Tuesday is the day we start to see some changes. When we look at the
upper-levels, we see an upper-level trough based in Ontario leading
to height falls across the region on Tuesday with the actual trough
moving eastward. By Wednesday, we see the trough continuing to move
east with a ripple of energy moving through our region. At the
surface, this will be a cold front. Overall, what this means is that
clouds will filter in on Tuesday but the day looks pretty dry until
the mid to late afternoon. This is when we start to see the
potential for some showers. The coverage on Tuesday looks more
isolated. Coverage will gradually increase Tuesday night and on
Wednesday where showers will be more scattered. There is some
variability in the speed of the cold front which will play a role in
shower coverage and timing. Tuesday will be warmer with highs in
the upper 70s to low 80s with more rain-cooled air Wednesday
with highs only in the low-to-mid 70s.
