It looks like Hackensack is in for a bit of a damp day, with showers expected to pepper the forecast throughout Wednesday and into Thursday morning. As of early Wednesday morning, the temperature is sitting around a mild 18°C, feeling much the same, with a gentle easterly breeze at 11 km/h. Humidity is on the higher side, around 72%, and cloud cover is quite substantial at 57%.
As the morning progresses, the clouds seem to thicken, moving from partly cloudy to mostly cloudy conditions. By 9 AM, there's a noticeable increase in the chance of showers, with a 35% probability and a small amount of rain expected. This trend continues into the late morning and early afternoon, with showers becoming more frequent. The temperature will climb gradually, reaching around 21°C by lunchtime, and feeling a touch warmer at 21°C due to the humidity, which hovers around the high 70s and low 80s.
The afternoon hours will see a mix of cloudy skies and intermittent showers. While the temperatures will peak in the low 20s, the persistent cloud cover and the "feels like" temperature will keep things feeling quite muggy. The wind will remain fairly consistent, coming from the east or northeast, picking up slightly to around 15-17 km/h.
As evening approaches, the showers are expected to continue, becoming more widespread and persistent through the night. Temperatures will dip slightly back into the low 20s, but the humidity will remain high, making it feel warmer. The wind will ease a bit as the night wears on.
Looking ahead to Thursday, the pattern of showers is set to continue into the early morning hours. Temperatures will hover around 18-19°C, with humidity remaining quite high, often above 90%. The cloud cover will be dense, and the chance of rain will persist until around midday. By the afternoon, however, things are expected to clear up considerably. The clouds will break, leading to partly cloudy skies, and the rain should cease. Temperatures will then begin to climb more noticeably, reaching the mid-20s by the afternoon, with the "feels like" temperature potentially reaching up to 28°C. The wind will shift and become more variable, with a lighter breeze.
So, if you're in Hackensack, it's a good idea to keep an umbrella handy for most of Wednesday and Thursday morning. But there's a silver lining: a much clearer and warmer afternoon is on the horizon for Thursday.
