Wet Start / Dry Finish

Mornin'!  It's 57° in Wilwood NJ.  It's raining lightly with breezes out of the South at 15-20mph.  It's a perfectly miserable morning.  If there's anyway you can roll over and stay in bed with the comforter up to your chin, now's the time.  Ms Sun does intend to show herself and begin to shine a little later this morning once these rain clouds disperse.  We've had rain showers overnight watering all my gardens that I just planted over the last couple days and for that I'm grateful.  No watering for me today!  So, it's supposed to stop raining by later this morning. Then, become partly sunny with temps in the mid-70s along with SE winds turning to West by the afternoon at 10-20mph.  Tonight... mainly clear, low of 58° and S-SW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... clear with temps around 70° and winds out of the South at 10-20mph.  The weekend still looks nice with mostly warm, sunny conditions on Saturday (may reach low-mid 80s) and Sunday... mostly sunny and temps in the mid-70s. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the tragedies that happened this week regarding sand.  Just 75 miles north of Wildwood in Toms River NJ, a teenager was killed after digging a huge hole on the beach as all the sand he dug collapsed around him and trapped him.  Same thing happened this week in a Utah state park to a teen while digging a tunnel in a sand dune which ultimately buried him alive. It just shows the vulnerability, instability and weight of sand when you think you're just simply having fun digging in the sand. Be forewarned about the seriousness and dangers of simply digging large holes in the beach sand. It's a tragic way to kick off the season, but it must be said.  Be extremely careful when it involves digging big, deep holes at the beach.  Always remember to always fill those holes back in so no one else accidentally falls into one; especially little children.
