While severe weather isn't likely, there will be areas of moderate to heavy rain at times, especially during the late afternoon in central and South Jersey.
NEXT big weather changes
Another cold front will approach the region on Easter Sunday with a line of showers and storms development ahead of it. Right now, it looks like conditions may start out dry Sunday morning with rain arriving by midday.
The rain will start to clear out Sunday evening as the front moves through and begins to usher in drier, but cooler temperatures for next week.
Next week we'll be back to more normal highs for this time of year which is upper 50s. It'll be quieter as well, with mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies.
Although you may be tempted to start planting this weekend, you may want to hold off as freezing temps are expected by the middle of next week.
