Happy Memorial Day!

Mornin'!  It's 60° in very damp Wildwood NJ.  We began to get rain showers and then intense downpours beginning late yesterday afternoon.  It mostly rained all evening and overnight.  The island's saturated.  It's also saturated with folk.  I've never seen these many vehicles parked in my neighborhood (illegal parking everywhere you look).  Hubby and I are having a day off thanks to all the soldiers who died serving our country.  By the way...Memorial Day began as Declaration Day in 1868 when Civil War soldiers grave sites where adorned.  In 1971 it was officially made a U.S. Holiday as the last Monday in May was set aside to honor those who have served and gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country with flags and parades and other remembrances.  Today's weather will be a mix.  We're gray and a bit misty at the moment with breezes out of the NE at 10-20mph.  It'll be mostly cloudy today with a chance of a thunderstorm (20% chance), a peek or two of sun, temps in the mid-upper 60s and breezes out of the NE at 10-15mph.  Tonight...breezy (East 10-20mph) with clouds still checked in and temps in the upper 50s.  We could wake to showers tomorrow.
High tide:11:56a.m.
