Winter Storm Izzy And Martin Luther King Weekend

Mornin'!  It's 19° in Wildwood NJ.  The winds are out of the North at 10-15mph making it feel like 5°.  In Philly its 13° with a -5° windchill!  Thank goodness for the 42° ocean temp keeping us nice and warm.  Ms Sun's also keeping us warm.  She's up and shining brightly over the island.  The harbor's got some frozen edges on it although it's still moving with no ice sheen yet.  This sunshine isn't going to last as the clouds-are-a-coming.  Expect a cloudy day with a high of 29° (windchill of 17°) and those icy North winds at 10-20mph.  Tonight... partly cloudy, temps around 20° (windchill of 13°) and N-NE winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... Izzy checks in with very windy conditions and rain developing in the late afternoon.  Temps will be balmy at 45° (feeling like 34°) and E-NE at 25-35mph +gusting.  Chance of rain is 90%.  Remember, the Full Moon is Monday so keep aware of high tides as tidal flooding is a very good possibility with the stormy holiday weekend.  Monday... rain ending in the early morning, high of 43°, mostly cloudy and still very windy.  At this time, it looks like we're skipping the snowfall unlike Philly (a dusting to 2").  We all have the potential for sleet and freezing rain Sunday into Monday depending on the temps dropping (32° could bring icy conditions) so be careful out there.  Today's Polar Bear Plunge into the ocean is still on schedule at 1pm at the Montgomery Beach in Wildwood NJ.  Good luck everyone.
