As of mid - morning, on Thursday, in Northern NJ, we have had about 1 inch of rain since midnight.

Areas in Pennsylvania have had about 2 inches of rain.

Lots of rain headed our way, we hope. Sunday night into Tuesday we should see a soaking rain.

Tropical trouble brewing in the Caribbean.

A hurricane will likely form and may hit the Gulf states or Florida in about a week.  A very active hurricane season continues.

Severe thunderstorm watch late this afternoon and evening.

Storms are now moving through Sussex county and may affect us locally in the next several hours.

AUTUMNAL WEATHER ALL WEEK.

No more heat waves on the horizon and we should be in the 70's all week.  With luck we will escape the two forming hurricanes as well.


Igor goes from a tropical storm to a category 4 hurricane in less than 24 hours.  Very warm ocean temperatures and low wind shear helped this to occur.  Don't take your sailboat to Bermuda this coming weekend!
