We Need Some Rain

Boy, has it been dry. In New York City we have not seen measurable rainfall in 13 days. Add to that low relative humidity this afternoon and strong gusty winds and you have the makings of a Red Flag Warning. One has been issued for this afternoon throughout much of New Jersey. New Jersey isn't seeing much in the way of light showers this morning. A Red Flag Warning means conditions are ripe for fires to start easily and spread quickly. This is the type of weather when we start to see brush and forest fires.

Tomorrow the front, that is bringing the very light showers this morning, is out of here and we are left with blue skies, low relative humidity and gusty winds out of the North-West. That breeze will lower our afternoon high temperature from 85 degrees this afternoon to 75 degrees tomorrow. The cooler dry air last until the begining of the weekend.

Enjoy.

Hey Linda - I just got back from my morning run on Staten Island and ran through a five minute shower at about 7:30 here on the Island. Looks like it is clearing now.

Best!
Bill
