Welcome to Labor Day weekend at the Jersey Shore! It's all about the weather, the barbeque, and getting where you're going.

As far as the weather for the Jersey Shore this weekend, Alan Kasper says it starts great with a sunny day Friday with low humidity and a high around 80. Saturday will feature a mix of sun and clouds with a little humidity and a high of 82, and Sunday and Monday will be partly cloudy, and we may see a shower or thunderstorm as highs approach 90.

Now, the traffic. Experts say this is going to be a very busy travel weekend. Gas prices mean more people will be hitting the road. Actually, experts expect over 1 million drivers on the roads of the Garden State, who will travel 50 miles or more from home. So you might want to get an early start.

Now let's get some fun facts about grilling. Labor Day Weekend ranks third for most popular barbeque weekends behind Memorial Day weekend and 4th of July weekend, which is # 1 on the list according to the Hearth, Patio and Barbeque Association. When it comes to the foods that get grilled there are no surprises, It's good old burgers, followed by steak, hot dogs and chicken, in that order, according to the website. And if you're grilling side dishes, corn and potatoes top the list.

Have a great, safe Labor Day weekend!
