| episode_narrative | Unseasonably dry weather continued to take its toll on crops and vegetation across New Jersey during the month of August. On a county weighted monthly average only 43 percent to 87 percent of normal precipitation occurred with the greatest deficiencies (less than half of normal) in Burlington, Camden and Gloucester Counties. Only Warren and Sussex Counties had monthly deficits of less than one inch. Grain and field crops were the most adversely affected agricultural crops. Farmers in central New Jersey who are more rainfall dependent were also hit the hardest. The dry conditions also led to the New Jersey Forest Fire Service to ban ground fires even on private land in many areas in northern New Jersey north of the Raritan River. The dry weather also led to the imposition of water restrictions in Mount Olive Township in Morris County. At the Atlantic City International Airport, the August precipitation total of 1.80 inches was 2.34 inches below normal. At nearby Philadelphia International Airport, the August precipitation total of 1.26 inches was 2.54 inches below normal. At nearby the Lehigh Valley International Airport, the August precipitation total of 3.13 inches was 1.15 inches below normal. |
