Lovely Thursday

Mornin'!  It's 59° in Wildwood.  That's not a typo!  It's a tad brisk this morning on the island.  We've got clear, starlit skies and breezes still wifting (I mean wafting) over us.  Ms Sun's due up today as it'll be mostly sunny with temps back up into the low-mid 70s.  Breezes are still the stars on the bill coming off the ocean (NE at 18-21mph).  Tonight...some cloud cover with temps in the low-mid 60s and stiff breezes (E-NE at 21-27mph).  Now, a couple things: for one...the Full Moon is this weekend and the tides are already higher than usual so be aware of water in the streets, and two...this stupid weekend forecast is changing up again and we're looking at rain again.  I've been watching all the forecasts for this weekend very closely and like I originally saw on a couple of them earlier this week..."rain" for this weekend.  Now...they're all saying it.  And, we're talking Saturday (later in the day), Sunday and Monday with 40-50% chance of rain.  The winds will add to the weekend weather drama with E-NE (off the ocean) at 20-30mph.  Full Moon + Rains + Winds = flooding + beach erosion. You've been warned!  So, pack your "green" wellies for the Irish Festival and whatever you do don't drive that beautiful Classic Car through flood waters!  I'll continue to give updates on this last fanfare festival weekend weather for Wildwood.
