  1. DROUGHT WARNING coming to NJ statewide tomorrow - governor will likely announce late morning.
  2. you missed nothing except New Jersey is on fire.
  3. .1 at the beaches. More fire risk this week.
  4. November is on average one of the drier months. We'll see what happens.
  5. Cranberry farmers are taking a serious hit - especially if we don't get rain in November - this is my piece from yesterday. I love visiting these farms - the visuals are stunning. https://newjersey.news12.com/farmer-weeks-without-rain-is-impacting-new-jerseys-cranberry-harvest
  6. Spent the day at a Pinelands cranberry farm - these folks REALLY need water as they're right in the middle of the harvest.
  7. Really concerned Thursday for fire spread. The military base fire still burning at Ft Dix looks like a mushroom cloud and visible all the way from the beach bridges today.
  8. Here's my piece on the fire risk and drought conditions from yesterday https://newjersey.news12.com/fire-officials-ongoing-droughts-cause-risk-of-wildfires-in-new-jersey
  9. Heading to the NJ forest service tomorrow to speak with our NJ FFS officers on the late season fire dangers - It's a busy season for state parks for camping this time of year and there are many restrictions now in place with open fires. If you know anyone heading out camping or hiking, let them know the risk is unusually high for October. We've had a series of fires down in Burlington County this week.
  10. A viewer here in NJ texted me a photo of her second home on Longboat Key today. She was worried what would become of it bc they shut the gas and electric off at noon today so she lost her live feed. It resembled one of the cottages on Barnegat Bay Island that was swept away during the S storm we dare mention in Brick Twp back in 2012. No stilts, nothing. I told her it's gonna be gone. I was just down there in February and the amount of development miles inland is mind boggling. We're watching probably the first or second costliest us hurricane ever and it's all just a wait and see. The photos below show the location. It's smack dab in the middle of Longboat. They all lost the protective dunes during Helene. It's sickening what's about to unfold.
  11. 12z GFS gives us ZERO precip through the run lol
  12. Beautiful and dry outside. Laying out and grilling today. It's like part of the September we lost out on
  13. We haven't turned on the heat or AC since before Labor Day weekend. Amazing stretch of weather here.
  14. Down down yellow and brown. All the leaves are falling down. Driving around coastal NJ it's really really really dry.
  15. Here ya go! https://newjersey.news12.com/cheers-new-jersey-wineries-poised-to-have-great-harvest-due-to-drier-weather-this-year
  16. Working on a story today about how this dry stretch of weather and cool nights are leading to probably the best grape harvest for NJ wineries in a decade. Definitely California type weather here.
  17. At a meeting in Freehold today. More of the same. Heat index 105, air 92. Absolutely oppressive outside.
  18. Very glad this thread was started to follow along without having to wade through the disaster that is the tropical threads. Can a mod jump in and help out over there please? Thanks! Also growing concerned for tomorrow along 195 corridor.
  19. Feels hotter than yesterday here in central NJ. Absolute misery outside - in Toms River by the courthouse now.
  20. Repeatedly hot and dry along the 195 corridor. Lawns are brown/crispy here in Central NJ.
  21. looks like it will be an Open the Windows At Night weekend. Finally.
  22. This is annoying on so many levels. Gives everyone who works in media a bad name.
  23. Just got back from Trenton/Robbinsville. Absolutely brutal again with index values nearing 105-110.
