Heat Draws Crowds to Boardwalk and Beach

Monday's unseasonably high heat drew crowds to the Point Pleasant Beach Boardwalk on Monday, with some of the same possibly expected tomorrow.

While the high hit 86 degrees in much of northern Ocean County on Monday, it was somewhat cooler and breezier on the oceanfront.

That some schools in central and northern New Jersey are closed for either part or all of this week for spring break is likely part of the reason there was a decent size crowd that congregated in the warm sun at and and beach on Monday afternoon.

The throngs thronged most at Martell's Tiki Bar and beach, where Dr. Cheeko was performing on stage.

And there may be another crowd around on Tuesday with more warm weather on the way, before temperatures are supposed to cool down on Tuesday night and remain seasonably lower.

Weather.com is predicting a high near 80 degrees on Tuesday for the Point Pleasant Beach area with "sunshine and some clouds" and "winds NW at 10 to 20 mph."

In stark contrast, a high of about 20 degrees less is expected on Wednesday, with temperatures hovering from the high 50s to 71 the week after that.
