3.0 magnitude earthquake jolts New Jersey, NYC
An earthquake rocked New Jersey late Saturday night — luckily, though, fairly softly. It was reported to be a magnitude 3 quake, generally considered to be a minor, 'low energy event' that would not be extremely noticeable or cause extensive damage. The U.S. Geological Survey, posting on X shortly after 11 p.m., nevertheless, deemed it a 'notable quake.' The epicenter was at or slightly northeast of Hasbrouck Heights, just east of Passaic, in Bergen County, a bit under 13 miles from Midtown Manhattan, according to USGS and NYC Emergency Management. NYCEM said there were no reports of damages or injuries, yet warned Big Apple residents to be on alert for 'possible aftershocks' — that could occur for as long as even the next several days. 'Tremors may have been felt in parts of New York City,' the agency tweeted. 'NYC Emergency Management is monitoring for impacts and coordinating with agency partners.' 'Be prepared for possible aftershocks. These may follow minutes, hours or even days after the initial quake. 'No immediate protective action is needed unless you experience damage. 'If you feel shaking, check for hazards such as shifted items, falling debris or cracks.' While the earth-shifting event jolted some parts of the metro area, it wasn't felt at all in others. One woman, who lives 20 miles north of Midtown, replied to the NYCEM tweet, 'I am in Mamaroneck, NY, and felt the rumbling and heard the LOUD sound it made! Ran outside to my back deck!!' 'Felt it in the Bronx,' tweeted a woman from the Boogie Down on the USGS quake post. But a Kings County resident shrugged, 'I didn't feel anything in Brooklyn.' Just five days ago, an 8.8-magnitude earthquake, one of the strongest ever recorded, erupted off the coast of Russia, triggering fears that devastating tsunamis could slam Alaska, Hawaii and the U.S. West Coast. As of Thursday, though, the tsunami fears had started to fade.

Smoke starting to clear out of Minnesota as clouds move in
Wildfire smoke will continue to exit Minnesota on Sunday, helping air quality improve as we wrap up the weekend. Some air quality alerts may be allowed to expire early Sunday, as levels have improved to the yellow category overnight. Clouds pick up a little more across the state, keeping high temps into the upper 70s in the afternoon. With some energy aloft, a few showers are falling across western Minnesota, but they will struggle to move east, so the metro largely stays dry Sunday. Humidity will increase into the middle/end of the week, helping to turn the forecast a bit more active with several waves of energy sparking daily storm chances. Spotty showers are anticipated Monday and Tuesday, mainly for western Minnesota. Temps warm through the week and reach the upper 80s by Thursday or Friday.
