summer weather

Welcome to September. Happy September. You'll hear both phrases all day today, and for summer lovers, it's bittersweet.

You may have the desire to order an ice cold coffee on a hot day, but believe it or not, the hot coffee may be the better choice to cool you down.

The morning show had just begun, and we were all still a little groggy, so when Liz did the forecast, we looked at each other with some curiosity. Did she say high of 85 today?

We've all enjoyed the beautiful, cooler than usual temperatures and lower humidity that have people in Monmouth and Ocean Counties using the word September more than the word August, but don't put away the summer clothes just yet.

It was a brutal winter with visits from the polar vortex and constant cold, and this summer we've already seen our share of severe thunderstorm and flash flood warnings and watches and high winds. But is this really extreme weather or are we just extra worried since Sandy?

If this weekend's weather is any indication of what Summer 2014 has in store for us, then we may be in for a great one!

It was a gorgeous weekend at the Jersey Shore. Boardwalks were crowded and there was a sense of optimism about this season.

Let me state the obvious. The majority of this weekend's weather was just what we needed.

I was sitting in the studio and thinking about all those mornings we did our show live from the boardwalk at Jenkinson's in Point Beach this summer. Wow, I miss that.

The summer of 2013 is turning into one big heatwave. This is the kind of heat that we'll be talking about years from now. And it has been relentless lately.

Most days it doesn't matter, because we get both the hot and the humid here at the Jersey Shore, but which is the one that gets you?

Nobody needs to tell any of us that us has been a strange year. Nothing that happens this year seems to be normal, but at the same time, nothing seems to surprise us.
