A strong ridge of high pressure at the surface and higher levels of our atmosphere brought unseasonably warm air into New Jersey from January 27th through the 30th. This cemented another unseasonably warm and dry month across the region. High temperatures were in the 60s and even some record breaking 70s on the 29th and 30th. A cold front dropped through the state late in the day on the 30th and lowered temperatures closer to seasonable levels on the 31st.
