As Ian strengthens over the Caribbean Sea — a full 1,500 miles away from New Jersey — we have to watch for potential impacts in the first few days of October.
Everyone in New Jersey will probably see about 3 to 6 hours of rain on Thursday, before temperatures tumble deep into "jacket weather" territory Thursday night.
Both Friday and Saturday should be classic, gorgeous early September days; but clouds, humidity, and raindrops return to New Jersey's forecast early next week.
