Forecast New Jersey is the definitive portal for the Garden State's weather and climate — built to make the official National Weather Service forecast fast, clean, and highway-clear for all 21 counties, from High Point and the Skylands down the Turnpike through Newark and Trenton to Cape May and 130 miles of Atlantic coast.
New Jersey is small enough to drive end to end in three hours and holds more weather than states ten times its size. It is the most densely populated state in the country, wedged between two of its largest metros, with 130 miles of barrier island in front of it and 1,803 feet of Kittatinny ridge behind. The shore floods on the tide before it floods on the rain; the rain–snow line parks over the Raritan Valley all winter; and the Pine Barrens, an hour from the Boardwalk, post the coldest readings in the state on a clear night. Forecast New Jersey is built around that range.
The look borrows from the American Interstate system — the reflective paper, the green guide signs, the blue service signs, the brown recreation signs, and the red-white-and-blue route shields — set in Overpass, the typeface drawn from the Highway Gothic lettering on those signs. New Jersey takes a state-flag buff paper and a Jersey blue accent, on Atlantic haze — the two colors Washington specified for the Jersey regiments and the two the state flag still carries. It is the right system for this state: the Garden State Parkway carries no Interstate shield at all, and New Jerseyans still give directions by exit number.
New Jersey is covered close-up by 6 region sites, each on its own subdomain of forecastnewjersey.com — the same maps, the same live radar and the same climate record as this site, drawn to one metro or region instead of the whole state, with a page for every city in it. They are part of Forecast New Jersey, not separate sites: /about on any of them lands back here.
New Jersey touches three states and all three are live: Forecast New York across the Hudson and the harbor, Forecast Pennsylvania across the Delaware, and Forecast Delaware across the river and the bay below the Delaware Memorial Bridge — each tinted in its own accent on the hero map and clickable from it. Forecast NYC covers the city and the tri-state metro in its own right, and the rest of the Forecast <State> network is part of the same system.
