Meanwhile, hot temperatures return once again to the Garden State. Maximum heat index values could again eclipse 100 degrees in some towns, and some parts of the Garden State will reach 90 degrees or more for five consecutive days Thursday.
Forecasters with the National Weather Service predict the heat to linger Thursday, and even possibly into Friday.
"The axis of unseasonably hot air will continue to extend up the East Coast," the National Weather Service said. "As a result, we are anticipating widespread maximum temperatures in the lower to middle 90s for today."

- Gloucster
- Camden
