Today's warm weather has been a long time coming, and people are getting excited. News 12's Tony Caputo is at John C. Bartlett Jr. Berkeley Island County Park along Barnegat Bay with some local reaction to the warm temps.

With temperatures approaching 70 today, fishing poles, dog walkers and some outdoor family time are all being seen.

The weather not be as cooperative Friday, and that appears to be the case into the rest of the weekend as well.
