Early Memorial Day Weekend Forecast For NJ: See What Weather Will Be Like

NEW JERSEY — Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start to summer, especially at the Jersey Shore, which sees some of its largest crowds this time each year. Will we have perfect beachgoing weather for the holiday this year? Here's what the early forecast has to say.

The upcoming week will be a rainy one, according to the National Weather Service. Tuesday through Thursday will be wet and cool, with the weather being more reminiscent of early spring and not late May.

The good news is that while there will be some lingering showers Friday, things look to be clearing up for the weekend, according to the National Weather Service. Temperatures might be a little cooler, too.

"Early indications point toward some drying heading into Memorial Day weekend and the unofficial start of summer," AccuWeather forecasters said. "However, there may still be areas of showers that linger in parts of the Northeast."

It'll be sunny, but temperatures will be in the low 70s for the weekend in the daytime and will drop at night. Water temperatures may be chilly, too, so those going to the beach may not want to actually go into the water.

More specific details on the weekend weather will be available as we get later into the week. Here's the latest forecast for Memorial Day weekend.
