Hazy Hot and Humid

Mornin'!  It's 81° in Wildwood NJ.  Feels like 87° with the humidity.  Humidity's 82% with a Dew point of 74°.  Ms Sun's up and the breezes are barely there out of the NW at 3-4mph.  The Blog took a back seat this morning as grocery shopping at 7AM took priority.  The Coast is extremely thick with visitors and if grocery shopping isn't done at the crack of dawn, then you're shit out of luck.  By that, I mean... much too crowded for me and of course empty, picked over super market shelves.  Yesterday, I went to Millville (45minute drive) to buy some of my personal staples that are not available here locally as proven by the empty shelves.  So, I'm now home, groceries are put away, I have my mug of coffee with warm sunshine pouring in my front porch windows. Thank god for air conditioning.  It's hazy, hot and humid out there.  Coming back onto the island this morning was cool as you could barely see the Ferris-wheel or any high buildings along the coast line.  Everything was hidden in the low-lying morning haze.  We're going to have another hot one (it got up to 93° yesterday) as temps are supposed to hit the mid-80s but I'm going with the low-mid 90s.  Expect abundant sunshine, and hazy, hot, humid conditions with S-SW breezes at 5-10mph.  There's a 20% chance of afternoon rains.  Tonight... clear skies, low-mid 70s (went to bed around 11pm last night and it was 79°) with breezes out of the SW at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... mostly sunny in the AM and scattered showers and/or thunderstorms developing in the afternoon (40% chance).  If heading to the beach today... prepare smartly.  Wear footwear, pack plenty of water and don't forget some kind of covering (shirt, umbrella, hooded sandchair etc).  It'll be a hot one today on that beach.
