Surprising Weather Rankings: Cape May Misses Top 100, Williamstown Wins Big

 South Jersey boasts some of the best weather in New Jersey, with several towns ranked highly for their mild and sunny conditions. Williamstown tops the list, followed by Woodbury, Vineland, and other cities like Atlantic City and Ventnor. While Ocean City narrowly missed the Top 10, Cape May was notably absent from the Top 100, despite its famously favorable "Cape May Bubble." The rankings were based on factors like sunny days, average temperatures, and precipitation, with Atlantic City having the most sunshine at 294 days per year.

 Kevin Hollingsworth, 38, of Egg Harbor Township, is in jail following a shootout with juveniles who allegedly attacked his son in Atlantic City. Hollingsworth and his wife were both wounded in the confrontation outside a pizza parlor after his son identified the group as his assailants. Despite advice to go to the police, Hollingsworth brought a loaded gun, leading to a violent exchange where both sides fired shots. Prosecutors claim he instigated the incident, while his defense argues he was acting to protect his family. Hollingsworth faces weapons charges and will remain in custody.
