Not So Sunny Monday

Mornin'!  It's 71° in Wildwood NJ.  It's cloudy.  Humidity's 86%, Dewpoint of 70° and stiff breezes out of the E-NE at 15-20mph.  It feels much cooler and comfortable this morning when stepping outside.  It definitely has that touch of Fall in the air.  It'll be a mostly pleasant day (albeit breezy) with a cloudy start and a 30% chance of a rain shower this morning.  Ms Sun will only be peeking in throughout the day and by late this afternoon / early evening will take over what's left of the day.  Temps will barely tap 80° as E-NE (15-20mph) stiff breezes are staying checked in until tonight (8-10mph).  Tonight...mostly cloudy (20% chance of showers) with temps in the low 70s.  Tomorrow...more clouds with the possibility of rain by the afternoon.  It looks like our next really nice weather day is Thursday.  Our "high" season has begun to shift a bit as the last 2 weeks of July and first 2 weeks of August are what I call "packed to the gills" season and it's ending now.  This week will begin that shift as many college kids have left or are now leaving for the start of their new school year.  Then, the real "Shoobies" (the families that live here all summer with children) begin to pack it in as they start their hiatus home to ready for school.  The "new" families with tiny children come at the end of August for vacation.  The retired old folk come after Labor Day and enjoy September for their vacations.  Whatever way you look at it, the shift will begin this week as Wildwood's made it through another thick, intense summer (high) season.  This morning's weather certainly has that feel too...Autumn's just around the corner...33 days.
