Planets On Parade Tonight

Mornin'!  It's 41° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 89% with everything outside wet and covered in that salty, morning dew.  Breezes are barely there out of the NW at 3-6mph.  The sky is mostly clear with some clouds along the horizon on the ocean side and a smattering of clouds along the marsh side.  Ms Sun just rose.  We'll start out with clear conditions to kick off the morning with Ms Sun shining here and there today throughout some cloud cover.  All the forecasts are saying mostly cloudy today.  But, yesterday they said "rain" and the skies were blue and full of sunshine the entire day except for about an hour in the afternoon.  We had no rain as predicted.  Today for what it's worth... mix of clouds and sunshine, high of 52° and N-NW winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... mostly cloudy, temps around 40° and E-NE winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... except for a few afternoon clouds, it'll be a sunny day with temps around 50° and Easterly breezes at 5-10mph.  Tonight if the sky is clear... right after sunset along the western sky, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Mars, and Uranus will align as an arc with the Moon for an extremely rare astronomical event.  Jupiter, Venus and Mars will be pretty easy to see since they shine pretty brightly.  Venus will be the brightest with Mars close to the moon with a reddish glow.  Mercury and Uranus will be dimmer (greenish glow just above Venus) but you'll probably need binoculars.  We can only hope for a clear sky tonight.
