We're close to 80 and muggy at my Wall Township office now. Had full sunshine for about 2 hours now here. Don't know if that will help the storms as they typically weaken crossing NJ but it's juiced at least here.

If it rains Sunday, it will be 35 out of 41 weekends with measurable rain/snow/hail/ash/apocalypse since January at the EWR reporting station.

Posted a clip on my Facebook page. Sunshine was visible. Trees are down all over though from this mornings burst of wind. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1EMczqQcta/

Massive gusts here at the Jersey Shore again well over 50 mph. Center about to make landfall by me.

Got cold out here in a hurry as the winds are now approaching 60 mph gusts. Lots of transformers lighting up, zapping noises, and light tree stuff blowing down the streets. It's pretty wild.

Of course I'm supposed to go to the Yankees game Sunday.

I can tell you no one is calling this Sandy in the respected media. I don't know what the clickbate Facebook-ologists are saying but this idea of the media hyping this as a Sandy is simply not true. (You're not doing that but I'm seeing many angry posts from people telling us stop hyping)

I'm at the Manasquan Inlet prepping for a 5pm live and it's not too bad here yet. The Stevens tide model is showing major here for Saturday morning, a bit higher than the NOAA guide which keeps it just at moderate/minor levels.

Barnegat Bay communities are going to get whacked pretty good. Mystic Islands, Tuckerton, etc. Regardless the surf and erosion on the shore this is going to be significant for the bays.

It's every bit of this here at the beach.

Already gusting to 35 by me at the squan inlet. It's nasty out. Beaches are gonna take a hit. At least.

Very humid, muggy, and eye-irritating smoky again in northern Ocean County. Worst smoke for me in a few days here

I'm still waiting for this warm-up.

I'm more bothered by backdoor action than late season polar vortex drops. Today is probably in top 5 miserable day of the winter. Looking forward to mist and 48 into May.

is it bad I'm skeptical of the torch considering every promised warmup this winter felt muted?
