Mostly Gray Friday

Mornin'!  It's 78° in Wildwood, NJ.  It's gray and misty but no rain coming down at the moment.  It's calm with hardly a breeze to note (W-NW at 2-4mph).  The humidity's very heavy at 87% with a dewpoint of 74°.  The doppler's showing rain clouds directly over us but not much is making it to the ground.  Could be only minutes before rain showers commence.  Expect rain this morning (60% chance) as we could even see showers and/or thunderstorms throughout the day.  Temps will rise into the low-mid 80s with NW winds at 5-10mph.  Tonight... partly cloudy with a stray shower or thunderstorm possible (20% chance).  Temps will drop into the low-mid 70s with winds light and variable.  Tomorrow... partly cloudy and not as warm as it has been this week.  Temps will be in the low-80s with E-NE breezes at 5-10mph and Sunday will be mainly sunny, warming back up again near 90°.  There are a few storms ramping up in this active hurricane season of ours and so far, nothing aimed at our coast.  However, one is a tropical storm "Hanna" forming in the Gulf of Mexico headed for Texas, one is a hurricane "Douglas" with its sights on Hawaii and the other possibly soon-to-be a hurricane "Gonzalo" in the Atlantic headed toward the Leeward islands (Barbados, St Lucia etc).  Keep your fingers crossed these warm waters don't decide to feed the atmosphere off our coast and head toward New Jersey!
