April 2001 was unseasonably dry month for the state of New Jersey, especially during the second half of the month when very little rain fell. The preliminary state average monthly precipitation total was 1.69 inches, the 7th driest on record since 1895. On a county weighted average, April monthly precipitation totals ranged from 1.5 inches in Cumberland and Cape May Counties to 2.1 inches in Sussex and Essex Counties. This was about 50 percent of normal and most of the precipitation fell prior to April 14th. At the Atlantic City International Airport, the monthly precipitation total of 1.55 inches was the eighth driest April on record. In addition to raising the fire danger, the unseasonably dry weather, if it persists, will threaten the growing season.
