As showers wrap up in the morning, we'll fall into a slightly cooler and much drier air mass. And some (not all) of the Garden State will see over an inch of healthy rainfall. I think everyone gets wet at some point here. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be likely on Wednesday too, especially the later in the day it gets (afternoon and evening). However, most of the state will still be steamy - expect 90-ish for a high in central and southern NJ, under mostly cloudy skies. Optimistically, high temperatures in North Jersey on Wednesday will be limited to 80 degrees. (I'd estimate that would include areas along and north of Interstate 78.) So that means only the northern part of the state will feel cooler, drier air on Wednesday. Tuesday night's front will get stuck as it charges through New Jersey. The spread of that rain will be limited, although stronger storm cells and downpours are certainly possible. So, starting around dinnertime, we could see a few showers and thunderstorms traverse North Jersey. Skies will range between mostly to partly sunny on Tuesday.Īnd then a weak cold front will approach northwestern New Jersey Tuesday evening. The heat index will surge as high as 105 degrees. High temperatures will push into the mid 90s. One more day of dangerous heat and humidity. (I say it during every heat wave - those suffocating nights are just as bad as stifling hot afternoons.) Tuesday Monday night will be uncomfortably muggy. Given the juicy atmosphere, any storm that forms will probably produce a little downpour. The best forcing for a storm will be to the north and west. It was like a conversation you might have in a fever dream: The sea gulls twirled around the dancers, and the dancers, perched majestically on a jetty for “Figure 8” (1974), made arcing patterns with their arms as though they were airing out their wings.Typical of most hot summer days, an isolated popup thunderstorm is possible at some point. The instant the dancers, clad in cyan blue surf tops and shorts, began performing Brown’s choreography, the natural world popped, coming into sharper, more colorful focus.

While the company has presented iterations of its “Trisha Brown: In Plain Site” series - versions of early, non-proscenium works - all over the world, it has never staged one on a beach. “They need to understand what it feels like to have the earth not necessarily supporting them,” she said, and then noticed a dancer getting the hang of it. Carolyn Lucas, the Brown company’s associate artistic director, had placed the dancers on a strip of spongy sand by design. They dipped to the side precariously.īecause of the start time, high tide is a factor.
Their diagonals curved forward like commas. And that sand! Before the dancers could even start to drift and swirl - the sort of delicate micro movements that help make this seemingly simple dance mesmerizing - their torsos began to buckle. And then to keep moving.Ī beach, it turns out, poses certain challenges for such a task. The aim? To create opposing diagonal lines, sort of in the shape of a V. In pairs, the dancers faced each other bound by a paddle contraption - a piece of wood on each of their lower backs, looped together with a rope - as they planted their feet and leaned backward. “Leaning Duets II,” a work by the choreographer Trisha Brown from 1971, is a classic partnering experiment in balancing while being counterbalanced. Even the softest of waves were too much for their feet - strong as they were - to hold their own in the soggy late afternoon sand at Rockaway Beach.
