Small earthquake rattles parts of New York City area, New Jersey
A small earthquake rattled some parts of the New York City area Saturday night, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The epicenter of the 3.0 magnitude quake was northeast of Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, in Bergen County, about 10 kilometers below the surface, USGS said. Though the quake was relatively minor, there were reports of brief shaking in parts of the area.

In a statement posted on social media, New York City Emergency Management said tremors may have been felt in parts of New York City but that there were no reports of injuries or damage in the city. Xan Davidson, a USGS analyst, told ABC News that while earthquakes are relatively rare on the East Coast, a magnitude 3.0 is not considered a significant quake. "We would not expect there to be a lot of damage," Davidson said. "It would just be shaking." In April 2024, New York City and New Jersey were rocked by a rare 4.8 magnitude earthquake, which officials said was one of the largest earthquakes on the East Coast in the last century.

"Earthquakes do happen here, but it's not something that happens frequently," Davidson said, referencing the 2024 quake. Davidson said the wide area of people who reported feeling Saturday's quake -- reaching as far as Connecticut -- is not unexpected and that there was little cause for alarm.

Small earthquake shakes the New York area. USGS says magnitude was 3.0
A small earthquake rattled the New York metropolitan area Saturday night. The US Geological Survey said the tremor had a magnitude of 3.0. It hit in the New Jersey suburb of Hasbrouck Heights, less than 8 miles west of Central Park, at a depth of about 6.2 miles. One resident of New York's Brooklyn borough described it as a very brief tremor, just a slight swaying for a moment. Nevertheless, social media quickly lit up with people who felt it. The official account of the Empire State Building reported in on the social platform X to say: 'I AM FINE.' The tremor was much milder than a 4.8-magnitude quake in 2024 that struck in Tewksbury, New Jersey, a little farther west of the city. A 3.0 earthquake is typically not strong enough to cause any damage, but tremors that mild are somewhat rare in the Northeast. New York City Emergency Management said there were no immediate reports of major impacts.

Dry, calm week ahead with low humidity in the Delaware Valley. Here's the weather forecast.
We've got a gorgeous stretch of weather to enjoy this weekend. Overnight, lows will dip into the mid-50s in the cooler spots and hover near 60 elsewhere. By Sunday morning, we're looking at sunshine from start to finish with highs in the low to mid 80s and low humidity, making it a great day to get outside. As we move into the early part of next week, high pressure will remain in control, keeping the dry and calm weather going through at least Tuesday. Nights will stay cool thanks to clear skies and light winds, especially inland. Along the shore, a persistent onshore breeze could lead to some minor tidal flooding and an increased risk of rip currents, so be cautious if you're heading to the beach. Looking ahead to mid-to-late week, the forecast becomes a bit more uncertain. A weak area of low pressure may try to develop offshore, and some upper-level energy could bring a few showers into the region — mainly south and east of the I-95 corridor by Wednesday or Thursday. However, if high pressure holds stronger than models suggest, we could stay dry for longer. We'll keep an eye on those developments, but for now, enjoy what's shaping up to be one of the nicest weekends we've had in a while! Meteorological summer ends in 29 days, and astronomical summer ends in 51 days on Sept. 22. Labor Day is only 30 days away, and we celebrate Thanksgiving in 99 days! Sunday: Mostly sunny. High 85, Low 61. Monday: Sunny & warmer. High 89, Low 62. Tuesday: Plenty of sun. High 88, Low 65. Wednesday: Few more clouds. High 81, Low 68. Thursday: A late shower? High 82, Low 69. Friday: A shower early. High 83, Low 64. Saturday: Partly cloudy. High 86, Low 64. NEXT Weather Radars Hourly Forecast
