It's a Heat Advisory kind of Labor Day

The Jersey City Desk Action Weather Team is merely parroting the National Weather Service (but now the JCDAWT gets a tax write off again this year) in telling you Jersey City and the surround are under a Heat Advisory through Tuesday evening at 9pm. Heat index values will rise to close to or over 100º. You can read the whole NWS advisory here.

Nobody is going to be standing next to the grill today. Bill, those burgers look good from inside here in the air conditioning........he texted.

Happy Labor Day!

To all the workers, the salt of the earth cats and kittens out there, who slag it out day after day no matter what gets in their way the staff here hope you enjoy today. One more day at the beach. Maybe a chance to do nothing. Just one day when you make the world go around the other 364.

Here's to all the workers!

Happy Labor Day Jersey City!

While you enjoy your day off (most of you), let's recall the utter fight labor had to be recognized with such things as 5 day 8 hour workdays. The right to organize, the right to stand up to an employer treating you wrong. It all used to be different and those early labor rights men and women gave an awful lot for you to enjoy a day off and a cheeseburger on the grill.

The fight continues!

Remnants of Hurricane Harvey may dump on us over Labor Day weekend

With weather being hard to predict with any exactness 3 days out the Jersey City Desk viewing area and the surround may get the last remnants of Hurricane Harvey currently making an awful awful mess for our friends in Houston and along the Gulf coast. Right now the bulk of the rain looks to hit later Saturday with highs in the mid 60's (Boardwalks and state parks will suffer surely if this is the case) with Sunday rebounding somewhat. The story is just a click away.
