Lots to do, see and enjoy and the storm will be gone

FREEHOLD, NJ – It looked as though the unofficial last weekend of the summer had been thrown a curveball with the threat of Hurricane Earl, but the National Weather Service is forecasting a beautiful Labor Day weekend in Monmouth County.

Local tourism and emergency management officials are delighted with the forecast and are expecting the storm to be well-passed the Monmouth coastline by sunrise on Saturday.

“Weather reports are telling us that we can expect a great, long weekend in Monmouth County,” said Glenn Mason, coordinator of the county’s Office of Emergency Management. “Visitors and residents should be ready to enjoy their weekend. Our office will continue to watch the weather and respond accordingly to any storm related incidents or conditions that occur.”

Lifeguard crews along Monmouth County’s 27 miles of ocean shoreline anticipate being open to swimming for the three-day weekend. On Friday, September 3, many of the county’s ocean waters were closed to swimmers in response to high surf conditions and the increased incidence of rip currents.

“We always remind beachgoers to swim in an area protected by a lifeguard,” said Michael Fowler, lifeguard supervisor at the county’s Seven Presidents Oceanfront Park. “This weekend is no exception. There may be some residual rough surf, but the lifeguards up and down the coast know the water and work to protect people from any dangerous conditions.”
