Columbus Day Kicks off Cooler Week at Jersey Shore; Another Spectacular Sunset

The Columbus Day holiday on Monday will represent this start of a cooler week at the Shore, the first long-term sign of fall weather since the seasonal change.

We captured a few images of an interesting “sunset” Sunday night near the Mantoloking Bridge, with a layer of dark clouds blocking out the actual sunset, but letting just enough light into the sky to light up some puffy, wavy clouds over the bay and ocean to close out a busy couple of days locally. Our cameras caught a few still images, seen below, and a short video seen above (note: some ad-blocking software could interfere with the video player).
