Rain Forecast Goes Up In Smoke: See When Hudson County Will Get Wet Next

HUDSON COUNTY, NJ — The Garden State remains under a drought warning, and even an expected day of rain on Thursday didn't pan out.

The next several day will be dry, with temperatures ranging from the 40s to the 60s.

Both North and South Jersey have been plagued by wildfires during dry conditions over the past few weeks, as well as building fires, including one that routed 23 people in Jersey City on Friday. An 18-year-old firefighter from Rockland County, N.Y. died fighting the wildfires on Sunday.

So when will it rain next in Hudson County? NWS says it will be dry through at least Wednesday, with temperatures remaining in the 40s to the 60s.

Next Change For Rain

Accuweather's long-term forecast says the next chance of rain is Friday, Nov. 22, but even that will be around two-tenths of an inch, they say. The days after that will be dry.

Meanwhile, both Trenton International Airport and Atlantic City International Airport have gone without measurable rainfall for more than a month.

Last Thursday, both broke records for consecutive days without measurable rainfall. The 34-day record in Atlantic City was set in 1995, and Trenton's record of 38 days without measurable rainfall had been set all the way back in 1865.
