New Jersey will have one more day of sunny, dry weather on Monday before the weather becomes cloudier and more unsettled, with the state potentially hit by heavy rains overnight Tuesday into Wednesday as Tropical Depression 8 moves north.
Monday is expected to be pleasant with highs of between 21 and 25 degrees before cloud cover increases and temperatures drop to 15 degrees overnight. Beachgoers face a high risk of rip currents in the sea and on a Monday in mid-September almost all beaches are unguarded so swimmers should be very cautious when entering the sea.
In addition, a flood warning is in effect for the New Jersey coast from 6:00 p.m. to midnight. Isolated minor flooding is expected.
Tropical Depression 8 is located off the coast of South Carolina on Monday morning and, according to meteorologists, will slowly move inland over the Carolinas over the next few days.
