Keep Your Eye On The Sky

Mornin'!  Happy Primary Election Day in New Jersey!  It's 72° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 88% with a Dewpoint of 70°.  Ms Sun's up and brightly shining as breezes are light out of the S-SE at 4-6mph.  The beach has some low lying ground fog on the dunes as yesterday's and last night's storms gave the island a good drenching.  Ms Sun's burning off the dew as I type. Thank goodness for Mother Nature's watering as we truly haven't had a good torrential soaking like that in a very long time.  North of us has... Ocean City, Atlantic City, Sea Isle City... all have been getting these storms along with many inches of rainfall and even major flooding as of late.  But, not Wildwood.  I've been watering my gardens every single day since who knows when. But, not today!  Beginning around 4pm yesterday (during the mass beach exodus) when the skies darkened bringing the huge storm clouds, the thunder and lightning began, along with consistent stormy, rainy weather.  I stayed up until around midnight as it began to wind down.  Who knows if it continued throughout the night as I slept through it if it had.  We had no flooding from the steady tropical rainfall either.
Today's weather will be a mix of sun and clouds with a 30-40% chance of a scattered shower or thunderstorm both this morning and into this afternoon.  It's another day of keeping "an eye on the sky".  Temps will get into the low-mid 80s with S-SE breezes at 5-15mph.  Tonight... some light cloud cover but mostly clear, temps in the low-mid 70s with Southerly breezes at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... mostly sunny, stray afternoon shower is possible, mid-80s and Southerly breezes.  Remember to get out and vote if you haven't already mailed in your ballot!
