    Default Can any meterologists predict water in NJ and NY

    Start out slow, then slow down.

    just got back from hiking bear mountain bridge to highway 17a in new york. water was flowing pretty good. trail angels left some out too and replenished every day. rain is continuing up there so there will probably still be water in september. thruhikers told me they stopped at private homes and got water sometimes too.

    Meteorologist report from this summer.

    Partly sunny with a low in the mid-60's and a high in the mid-80's. 20% chance of rain with the possibility of scattered afternoon thunderstorms.

    By this time of year i am normally humping water up to the Telephone Pioneer Shelter. Not this year the stream has still been pretty steady with a flow and we had another big rain last night bigger than the rain we had the night before which was about the size of the one two nights back......

    Yep looks like the pattern will continue and if it doesn't it will still take a while for the water sources to start to fail. This is also a pretty populated area as someone else said and once you are on my side (East) of the Hudson you have all the Deli stops and they all let you fill up with water too same with Native Landscapes on NY 22

    No, reading tea leaves is just as accurate. Actually better because few people think reading tea leaves is a science.

    There will be water. Maybe rain. It will be cool.

    Have a good hike!

    Not likely. It has to be the only profession that you can be 50% right and still be employed. I wish someone had said that to me on career day in H.S.

    Your guys get it right 50% of the time? Man they're good

    What I do is watch 3 different weather reports and then come up with my own that's different than all of theirs. Usually mine is right

    It's California, sunny, kind of sunny, hazy smog or a slim chance of rain.
    Not too hard.

    Heck, you can hit .270 and be an all star in major league baseball and make $10 million a year. Just ask A Rod.

    Hitting a round ball going 90 mph with a round bat, square, has to be the hardest thing to do in sports, IMO.
    My hero's have always been teachers, military and of course, cowboy's.
