An extreme dry spell continues for portions of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and the Northeast. Extremely dry conditions are creating wildfire concerns, with large fires burning in New Jersey and Connecticut today.
According to the Mount Holly, New Jersey office of the National Weather Service, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Trenton, New Jersey are now experiencing a top 25 longest consecutive streak of dry days on record, with zero measurable rain in the last 20 days. With no rain in the forecast, it’s likely these climate reporting stations will move into the top 5-10 spots for longest duration of a dry spell.
