Somerset County, let’s get ready to ShakeOut!

Join the Great ShakeOut earthquake drill on Thursday, October 15th at 10:15 a.m.! At home, school, or work, take a minute to practice these three steps:

⬇️ DROP to your hands and knees.
🛡️ COVER your head and neck, and crawl under a sturdy table or desk nearby.
✋ HOLD ON to your shelter until the shaking stops, keeping your head and neck protected.

Practicing now can help you respond quickly when seconds matter. Make preparedness a family activity and encourage others to join.
Learn more and register at ShakeOut.org.

Warm today and hot on Wednesday. A front drops south on Thursday with increasing clouds and relief from the heat. A few showers are possible but any rainfall will be light.

A few light showers linger early this morning, then we will dry out for most of the upcoming week. It's going to be rather warm for fall with temps as high as 90° by the time we get to Wednesday. Don't worry, fall-lovers, because MUCH cooler temps are on the way this weekend.
