The Heat Wave Continues

Mornin'!  It's 81° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 83% with a Dewpoint of 73°.  It's warm when stepping outside this early morn.  Skies are clear with not much in breezes to note... N-NE 2-4mph.  Expect a mix of clouds and sun today with temps near 90° and E-NE breezes at 10-15mph.  There's a 20% chance of precipitation (rain showers and/or thunderstorms passing through) both today and tonight.  Tonight... mostly clear with a few clouds in the mix.  Temps down into the mid-70s with light and variable breezes.  Tomorrow... a repeat of today.  Today's breezes will be more refreshing than yesterday for sure as they'll be coming off the cooler ocean than that searing beach.  Still, today's sand will be intensely hot.  Remember what to pack for the beach... footwear, a hat, umbrella, plenty of water etc.  Keep a "beach check-list" handy and follow through (it makes it easier).  My beach list consists of: all of the above plus a mask, my phone, small spray bottle of water, my book, a camera, a blanket, a sand chair, a sand grabber for the umbrella, a bungee to keep the umbrella anchored on a windy day, a towel, a small trash bag, insect repellent, sunscreen, a small first aid kit (bandaids, alcohol wipes, small bottle of vinegar for possible jelly fish sting, Tylenol), lunch or a snack, phone, Ipod/headset, comb/brush, a cover up and of course ID or anything else you can think of for your "stuff".  Happy Beaching!
