Monday brings sunshine and warmth — mid 50s along the coast, upper 60s inland. Tuesday gets even better. Central Jersey hits 73 degrees, north sees 70, with mostly sunny skies. Wednesday continues the warm streak with low to mid 70s inland, though the coast stays cooler in the 50s thanks to that ocean breeze. But that warmth crashes hard.
