March 20, 2026·2 min
The episode begins with Aaron Jolly announcing the arrival of spring and a temperature climb from 37 to 62 degrees. Morning conditions are crisp with temperatures in the upper 30s, and southwest winds shift south around 10 a.m., pushing temperatures into the low 50s by lunchtime. The afternoon brings the warmest conditions of the season so far, reaching 62 degrees by 5 p.m. Rain begins developing at that time, with the steadiest rain falling between 7 and 9 p.m. and a 76% chance of getting wet during the evening commute. Showers taper off after midnight as temperatures settle into the mid-40s. Regional breakdowns follow: North Jersey warms fastest, hitting 60 degrees by 3 p.m., Central Jersey reaches 62 around 4 p.m., and South Jersey experiences gradual warming to the low 60s by early evening. Rain arrives first in North Jersey at 5 p.m., spreads to Central Jersey by 6 p.m., and reaches South Jersey by 7 p.m., with all areas seeing heaviest rain between 8 and 10 p.m. The host advises listeners to plan outdoor activities before 5 p.m. and use umbrellas for evening plans. Wet roads will slow the evening commute, especially on routes 1, 9, and the parkway, and reduced visibility is expected due to rain and darkness. Practical tips include moving patio furniture and trash cans to sheltered spots. The episode concludes by noting that today marks the spring equinox, showcasing typical March variability with morning frost, afternoon warmth, and evening rain all in one day. An update is promised for the afternoon, and listeners are invited to share their weather experiences in comments.
