Today: Spring at Its Absolute Finest
Mainland
Low 80s
Partly to mostly sunny. A few puffy fair-weather cumulus might billow up just to keep the sky photogenic.
Shore / Beaches
Low 70s
Sunshine and a refreshing southwest breeze — classic boardwalk weather.
Wind: Southwest 10–15 mph with gusts to 20 mph. Breezy at times, but it won’t put even the tiniest dent in this beauty of a day.
Humidity: Bone dry — dew points hanging in the middle 50s. Translation: comfortable. The kind of air that makes you take a deep breath and smile for no particular reason.
Tonight
A few clouds drift through under a gentle breeze. Lows settle into the middle 60s — window-cracking weather if there ever was such a thing.
Looking Ahead: Buckle Up, Summer Is Auditioning Early
