Senators, governors, congressmen and women, citizens and fellow nere-do-wells, Welcome to Jersey City!

We have a full house of dignitaries here today for Mayor Fulop's (He became mayor at midnight) inauguration. Senator Menendez, Governor Christie, former JC Mayors, political media, and other big hitters in Hudson County so as Jersey City's Official Nere-do-Well® it falls on Johnny to offer the blanket welcome.

We hope you'll find the second-largest city in the Garden State to your liking as we have so many more amenities than the first-largest city. Please take a few minutes to enjoy our waterfront and the local grub. Best restaurants in the state right here so don't forget to eat. A lot of planning has gone into this shindig today so Johnny supposes we need to talk about this:

Monday
Overcast with a chance of a thunderstorm and a chance of rain, then thunderstorms and rain showers in the afternoon. High of 84F. Winds from the South at 5 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 60% with rainfall amounts near 0.4 in. possible.

Monday Night
Overcast with a chance of a thunderstorm and a chance of rain. Low of 72F. Winds from the South at 5 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 50% with rainfall amounts near 0.4 in. possible.

So, rain. Lots of heavy intermittent rain will fall on Jersey City today, with some moving into the area at press time. Flash flood warnings have been posted across the state. No word from the new city administration what happens in the case of a deluge at showtime. The graphic on the flyer simply says 'weather permitting.' Union County and Essex County already have tornado WARNINGS this morning and we anticipate things today will be done under a tornado watch. Plan accordingly and keep and eye on the sky.

Weather aside, please accept our hearty welcome to Cool City, enjoy your stay and spend money.
