Right now on mornings on news, 12 new video showing the moment firefighters get launched into the air when a building's roof collapses in West New York and breaking this morning, take a look at these flames as a fire breaks out at a home in Woodbridge. We're live at the scene and we are continuing this morning to track the rain coming into New Jersey. We'll tell you what to expect for the weekend as well. Smoking. It's still allowed in Atlantic City casinos this morning. The divide that prevented a vote from banning it from even taking place. And Good morning. Thanks for joining us here on mornings on news 12 on a Friday, December 1st. I'm m mad and I'm Simon Choudry. So we've been talking about the rain. Will it affect our weekend plans? Let's check in with storm watch team. Meteorologist, Alex Calam. Not a bad start to December temperature wise though. Now it's true. It is cold out there this morning in the mid twenties for North Jersey, interior parts of the state only in the twenties, but we are all warming up very quickly. I want to take you to one of the cooler spots. Somerset County is sitting in the mid twenties right now. At Best Rocky Hill is 30. So you definitely need to jack it early but you don't get by mid morning, at least not the heavy jacket. You're sitting in the mid forties. The wind is very calm today but clouds are building and we have a chance for rain. It is after all the first day of December and on average temperatures are right around 49. So this is just about right for this time of the year. But by the end of the month, we go down to 41 for your average morning temperature on average by the end of the month, 28. And yeah, December typically is when we see our first snow of the season last year though. We didn't see our first inch of snow until February this weekend. We're just talking plain old rain and there could be plenty of it on Sunday. Saturday looks dry and cloudy and mild coming up. We'll show you what those numbers look like. Alex. Thank you breaking this morning. Emergency crews working a fire in Middlesex County news. Tell New Jersey's Tony.

Sea.Hear.Now. Festival draws thousands despite dangerous rip currents from Storm Lee

Now, thousands of people are piling into Asbury Park for the sea here. Now festival, which of course features dozens of popular music artists. Another thing, festival goers look forward to is their annual surf competition but dangerous rip currents from hurricane Lee are definitely concerned out there. News twelve's Amanda Lee is there now and Amanda, it looks like the weather is great. But how is the water? Yeah, you're right, Rick. The weather is great. There's lots of people here but they are warning about those rip currents that serve competition started and ended a little bit early today. But now hundreds and thousands of people are just piling in here for those performances. They're just getting ready for all of what is going to happen tonight tonight. The Killers headlining and then there's another day tomorrow. So also tomorrow, there's another sort of competition. But for anyone planning to hit the waves this weekend, you need to be very careful, the weather might be nice but the ocean is dangerous. The Office of Emergency Management says there's some strong wave energy on our coastline. Those surf currents and rip currents are coming through with some force if you get caught in one, they say not to panic but to swim parallel to the shore until you're out of it and to tread water until a lifeguard comes to get you. Even the professionals who came out to do their thing earlier, dealt with some of those strong waves as well. We caught up with one person who was there for the face off was a big waves today real big. About a half dozen or so competitors getting long long rides. It was very exciting to watch some twists in the air. It looks like they will have a real good time, but definitely for professionals only. No amateurs out there. Yeah. And the OEM says it's just best to stay out of the water in general, just all together, just be aware of those dangerous rip currents. But there are other ways to enjoy this beautiful day, including coming here to Asbury Park there to people on the boardwalk as well. I believe the Killers are headlining tonight and then the food fighters tomorrow. So there are a lot of people out here doing some other stuff, enjoying this beautiful weather but still remembering to be safe for now reporting live in Asbury Park. Amanda Lee News. 12 New Jersey.
