Our long streak of spring-like days in early November will continue on Tuesday, with afternoon temperatures climbing into the low 70s — more than 10 degrees warmer than average for this time of year.
Although the mercury will likely hit 70 degrees again on Wednesday, thick clouds and high humidity will bring an end to our wave of beautiful weather, and batches of rain will be moving across the Garden State Wednesday afternoon and could linger as long as Thursday night.
The National Weather Service said most areas of New Jersey will likely pick up 1 to 2 inches of rain, and many sections of South Jersey could get drenched with as much as 2 to 3 inches before the rain winds down. Forecasters say the rain is coming from a strong cold front that’s associated with a low pressure system pushing down from southern Canada.
At least Tuesday afternoon is shaping up to be partly to mostly sunny and warm once again. The Newark area has a shot at matching its daily record high of 73 degrees for Nov. 10. That record was set back in 1999.
Broken records in N.J.
During the past few days, New Jersey saw a bunch of daily record highs either matched or shattered, including these:
- On Saturday, Atlantic City International Airport hit 77 degrees, breaking its old record high of 72 degrees for Nov. 7.
- On Sunday, Atlantic City’s temperature soared to 79 degrees, smashing its old record high of 72 degrees for Nov. 8.
- On Sunday, Newark Liberty International Airport hit 77 degrees, topping its old record high of 76 degrees for Nov. 8.
- On Sunday, Trenton Mercer Airport reached 77 degrees, beating its old record high of 76 degrees for Nov. 8.
- On Monday, Newark reached 77 degrees, breaking its old record high of 75 degrees for Nov. 9.
- On Monday, Atlantic City reached 76 degrees, tying its old record high for Nov. 9.
UPDATE (4:30 p.m. Tuesday): It turned out to be another record-breaking day in New Jersey on Tuesday, Nov. 10. Newark hit 75 degrees, 2 above its old daily record high of 73, according to the National Weather Service. Trenton hit 74 degrees, topping its old daily record high of 73. And Atlantic City tied its old daily record high of 76 degrees.

Record-breaking hurricane season
Even though the Atlantic hurricane season is normally quiet in November, the 2020 season is still raging, with Tropical Storm Eta threatening the U.S. Gulf Coast and Subtropical Storm Theta forming in the far Atlantic — breaking the record for the most named storms in one hurricane season.
Theta became the 29th named storm, which is one more than the 28 named storms that had formed in the then-record-breaking hurricane season of 2005.
