Tropical Storm Watch

Mornin'!  It's 69° in Wildwood NJ.  We're under cloudy skies, very damp, humid conditions (almost feels like there's a misty rain going on) with breezes out of the NE 7-12mph.  Ms Sun's taking a short hiatus as we probably won't see her shining down until sometime Wednesday.  One forecast did say that she'll be peeking in throughout the day...doesn't appear so by the current look of things.  There's a "Tropical Storm Watch" posted until then.  Hurricane José is located out in the Atlantic ocean and its tropical storm force winds are expected to pass by the Delaware and southern New Jersey coast beginning sometime very early tomorrow morning.  The strongest winds and rains are expected Tuesday afternoon through evening and should fall below tropical storm force by Wednesday morning.  Coastal flooding not to mention very strong winds will pose a risk to property for the high tide cycles tomorrow into tomorrow night (the New Moon is Wednesday...higher than normal tides).  For today...mostly cloudy, misty/wet conditions with temps in the low-mid 70s with winds out of the E-NE at 15-20mph.  Tonight...cloudy with rains checking in on the overnight with winds out of the NE at 20-24mph and temps in the upper 60s - low 70s.  Sometime today or tonight would be a good idea to hunker down on the outside stuff and begin preparations for this upcoming storm.
