  • Birds over Jerze

    Light and variable winds over New Jersey last night made for acceptable migration conditions over the Garden State. Here’s the radar from sunset last night through 5:00am this morning.

This cutoff occurred during peak migration, and appears to have centered over the middle of the state. Fallout conditions are expected. Here’s the radar from sunset last […]
