Current Conditions and Humidity
The air in Princeton feels heavy right now as the weekend progresses. It is currently Saturday this afternoon, and the atmosphere is holding onto significant moisture. The current air temperature sits at 72F, but the heat index makes it feel slightly warmer at 73F. This discrepancy is driven by a dew point of 70F, which creates a muggy environment for anyone heading outdoors.
Relative humidity is currently at 94%, indicating that the air is nearly saturated with water vapor. Light rain is falling from the sky, adding to the damp conditions. Winds are blowing from the northeast at 6 mph, with occasional gusts reaching up to 14 mph. These breezes offer little relief from the stickiness of the air.

Looking ahead, the day will remain cloudy with rain showers likely throughout the afternoon. The high temperature is expected to reach near 77F. Northeast winds may pick up slightly to around 10 mph. There is a 60% chance of precipitation today, with new rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible.
