Temps spike to the mid-80s today and tomorrow before crashing to the lower 70s for this weekend.

Clouds and mist linger across parts of Monmouth and Ocean counties this morning with a general overcast lingering elsewhere across the state. The clouds pull away from west to east, gradually, this morning.

Conditions are sunny and fair this afternoon and evening with warm sunshine with highs in the lower 80s.

Tomorrow's highs reach the mid-80s with the sunny experience continuing.

A quiet front passes by - secretly - overnight Friday into Saturday to drop temperatures for the weekend. Both Saturday and Sunday will be more fall-like with afternoon highs in the lower 70s, despite the mild sunshine.

The pattern remains dry through most of next week with small chances for rain toward Wednesday night.
