All right, you've got dry conditions in Southern New
Jersey, which are fueling this wildfire that's
grown to at least 2,500 acres, forcing the evacuation of 170
homes and other buildings.
The fire was only 10% contained overnight.
Looking at the radar, though, rain
is expected today along the Gulf Coast and in Florida.

Checking today's high temperatures,
record warmth in the Midwest, getting into the 80s
and the Northeast as well.
But only in the 50s for the Northwest.
