Stadium Legends and Global Finals Meet in New Jersey
The region is buzzing with major events, from the World Cup Final at MetLife to high-profile stadium tours. While the weather score indicates a great weekend overall, keep an umbrella handy for Saturday and Sunday's showers. Friday afternoon remains your best bet for a dry outdoor excursion.
Friday offers the best outdoor window with warm temperatures reaching 88 degrees. Expect a shift toward rain on Saturday and Sunday with cooler highs between 71 and 81 degrees and a significant chance of showers.
