While business owners at the Shore are looking forward to the summer crowds, some locals are not as enthused.
“It’s more crowded. We live in Neptune and traffic gets very congested,” says Melissa Simmons of Neptune.
Temperatures on Monday reached the low-90s. Thunderstorms were expected to roll in by Monday night.
