Low pressure will past just offshore of New Jersey and move into New England later in the day. Meanwhile a cold front will approach the area from the west bringing unsettled weather for the middle of the week.

Thursday will be partly sunny with a chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms once again as a cold front will pass through the region during the afternoon. The high temperature will be 86 in the city, mid 80s in the suburbs.
