| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 225pm EDT Sunday August 23 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... .KEY MESSAGES... 1. A drier airmass spreads into the region this afternoon. 2. Fair weather is expected to return later Sunday and should persist into the middle of the upcoming week. 3. More unsettled to end the week. KEY MESSAGE 1...A drier airmass spreads into the region this afternoon. In the wake of a cold front that is passing offshore this afternoon, a drier airmass continues to spread into the region with surface dewpoints dropping from the upper 60s to around 70 to the low 60. Can't fully rule out a spot shower or two with broad upper level troughing overhead, particularly across northern NJ and the Poconos, but it will remain largely dry for the rest of the afternoon as high pressure builds in from the west. KEY MESSAGE 2...Fair weather is expected to return later Sunday and should persist into the middle of the upcoming week. More zonal flow with some subtle ridging moves in for the first half of the week. At the surface, high pressure will mainly be in control, resulting in dry and tranquil weather through Wednesday. Temperatures should be seasonable through this stretch. KEY MESSAGE 3...More unsettled to end the week. By Thursday and Friday, high pressure moves offshore with southerly return flow, helping bring dew points back into the low-70s. Broad upper level troughing will allow a surface low to make its way into the region, bringing our next chance for precipitation. Still a bit far out for specifics at this time, however. Marine No marine headlines expected. Outlook... Monday night through Wednesday...No marine headlines expected. Fair weather expected. Rip Currents... Today...East to southeast 10 to 15 mph winds this morning, turn to the southwest after sunrise, then west with gusts up to 20 mph in the afternoon. Breaking waves will be 1 to 2 feet with light southerly swells with a 6 to 8 second period. As a result, there is a LOW risk for the development of dangerous and life threatening rip currents at the Jersey Shore and at Delaware Beaches. On Monday, southwest winds will average 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 20 mph in the afternoon with breaking waves of 1 to 2 feet. There will be light southerly swells with a period of 6 to 8 seconds. As a result, there is a LOW risk for the development of dangerous and life threatening rip currents at the Jersey Shore and at Delaware Beaches.
