Gusty Hump Day

Mornin'! It's a bit on the cloudy, breezy side as the sun crosses the horizon this morning. The leaves on the trees out front are all over the place as the breeze looks to be coming in the front porch windows making it a bit of an easterly breeze as I type (15-20mph). It's currently 73 degrees in WW and feels on the warm and humid side. Looks like a summer-like day at the shore as it will mostly sunny with temps reaching the mid-upper 80's on the island today as well as remaining dry. The winds will keep up as the day progresses and we could see wind gusts of 30mph from the west. As a matter of fact, there's an "explosive fire growth potential" warning out there. It's so dry that the warnings (mainly offshore) are reporting to everyone to watch their cigarette butts as they could send some serious fires into the dry pinelands creating forest fire havoc. Here on the island, could be a beach day if you're a diehard and prepare...ya know the drill...pack a bungee to anchor the umbrella, sit close to the surf to avoid the blowing lighter sand, and insect repellant for the westerly hungry flies. There's always the arcades, but I'm betting on a beach day!
