N.J. weather: Rain coming as wildfires burn, dire drought conditions continue

Rainfall remains in the forecast for New Jersey Sunday into Monday, but it’s still not near enough to end the state’s record-setting drought, meteorologists say.
New Jersey’s worsening drought conditions are so dire that the state may be forced to declare a drought warning as early as next week or a rare drought emergency in the coming weeks, officials have said. The concerns come as conditions continue to rapidly deteriorate and wildfires continue to break out.
