• Insider NJ's Morning Intelligence Briefing: 9/1/2026 (insidernj.com) — Mount Holly residents should know that Carty is out as the town’s fire director, according to a statewide political briefing that tracks local government changes. The roundup also highlights tax, school, development, and budget decisions in nearby New Jersey communities, offering context on how other towns are handling issues that often mirror Mount Holly’s own challenges. 
• Strong El Niño forecast raises questions for Delaware (delawareonline.com) — Meteorologists at the National Weather Service office in Mount Holly say a very strong El Niño is likely this winter, but its direct impact on our region’s day‑to‑day weather will be limited. While Delaware may see fewer tropical storms overall, local winter conditions around Mount Holly will still depend more on other patterns, making snowfall and exact temperatures hard to predict this far out.
