All the parks and recreation spots around my area and up into Sussex county have Extreme Fire Danger signs posted. I live across the street from Berkshire Valley Wildlife Preserve, took a walk there yesterday and it is just bone dry and dusty. No improvement for at least a week and maybe 10 days. Terrible. I'm honestly surprised fires have not been more numerous across the state.

Rule of thumb is when Alaska is BN we are AN. Working so far!
-
When we do squeeze out a BN monthly temperature departure it is by tenths of a degree. The warmer than normal months are solidly above normal usually by 1-2 degrees+, or so it seems. I have not gone back to check it out but it certainly seems that way. One dry month I remember was November 1976, but that month was colder than normal from what I remember. I recall walking to school and freezing my young arse off in frequent Arctic outbreaks. Nov. 1976 may still stand as the driest November on record. Again, I did not go back to check. December 76 and January 77 of course were frigid but I believe both months remained on the dry side.

Just a nasty look all around.

Ugly looking!

Radar showed a few small blobs racing through my area between 4:30 and 5:00 this morning. Ground was slightly damp at 6am but rain gauge did not have even a single drop. Entered a "trace". Third "T" of the month and that is it so far.

Absolutely disgusting.
-
Just amazing persistence on the dry pattern continuing. Even if there are some very light totals here and there with various frontal passages the message is that the dry pattern continues for now.

Thought these graphics were interesting & impressive in regards to Helene:

Same here with the landscapers. Dust storm is an understatement.
-
Thankful for that low sun angle! That and the great foliage make this warmth more tolerable.
-
Always live and celebrate "today" because tomorrow is a guarantee for no one.
-
That is a lot of real estate with not a cloud in sight.
-
If this turns into reality we are solidly in record territory for lack of rainfall for a calendar month and extended dry periods.
-
Was out doing yard work yesterday and today. Nice weather to do it but the soil that is not getting irrigated is absolutely bone dry and dusty to a depth of at least 6-8". We are just fortunate this did not happen in July and August. Would have been horrendous for gardening and crops.
-
Gotta love inconsiderate people. Been there and it is infuriating. In the meantime this dry pattern rolls on. The chilly nights this week have been great!
-
There were Freeze Warnings posted for my area, not sure if they extended as far south as your area.

Some NJ morning lows:

Latest Drought Monitor. Abnormal dryness and drought continues to expand.
-
Just really impressive to see model cycle after model cycle with little or no precipitation for 10 day periods. Only a trace here (on two days) for the month to date. Just so dry. Will be interesting to see new Drought Monitor release tomorrow.
-
Some min temperatures:
-
Not that anyone puts any credence in a 378 hour GFS prog but just to see something that dry especially at this time of year is quite impressive.
-
This cool / chilly weather is great. The dryness is getting beyond annoying.
-
That high latitude block during all of September really meant business. Looks like another week without meaningful rainfall. The chilly incoming air mass will be nice though. Fall foliage around my area is really starting to peak now. Nicest color I think I've seen in several years.

Gave in and fired up the furnace this morning. The cat, Amanda "Manda" heard the furnace click on and took off to her favorite heating vet! The breeze was pretty brisk all night and that kept the temperatures from really dropping here on top of the hill. Low was 39. Was much colder in the usual NJ cold spots.
