The weather in Jersey City was warm the entire day. The temperature reached to mid to high 60's! According to the news, the temperature was record-breaking: 67 degrees Fahrenheit -- beating the old record of 63 degrees.

The wind made the day more gorgeous. It was like Spring or Fall again.

It rained a little at night, though, around 7 in the evening.

December 11, 2008 Weather: Rain all Through The Day

It's very dark in Jersey City this morning -- cloudy as a matter of fact. That is because the weather forecast yesterday is correct: it's going to rain today.

Right now, the temperature is in the high 30's and it will stay around that number. The rain will fall and will continue until tomorrow (Friday, Dec. 12). As a matter of fact, a severe weather alert in Hudson County, NJ was issued yesterday.

Sloppy day indeed, so make sure you are properly geared for the rain if you're going out of your house.

December 08, 2008 Weather: Cold Weather Continues

The cold weather here in Jersey City continues. The temperature is in the 30's but the wind breeze makes it much colder than normal.

November 15, 2008: Rainy and Windy!

The background is New York City from Liberty State Park, Jersey City. The weather doesn't look too appealing: it is foggy, cold, windy, and it is beginning to drizzle at 9AM today. I am 100% sure that it is going to rain, so take extra care when you are driving. As a matter of fact, National Weather Service issued a Tornado watch in the Tri-State area.

By the way, temperature is in the 40's.

Severe Storms Possible

PEOPLE IN NORTHEAST NEW JERSEY SHOULD MONITOR THE WEATHER SITUATION CLOSELY. LISTEN FOR POSSIBLE WARNINGS AND BE PREPARED TO TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION SHOULD SEVERE WEATHER THREATEN.

WIND GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH MAY BE POSSIBLE WITH THESE STORMS.

October 25, 2008: Windy! (Plus rain)

Sometimes, the best way to forecast the weather is through the birds. For example, the pigeons in Journal Square area of Jersey City were flying deliriously, and that meant one thing -- the weather is going to be bad.

If you go outside, you'll feel the strong gust of wind, which will lead to rain later this afternoon till evening.
