There's A Storm Heading Our Way Again

Mornin'!  It's 40° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's shining brightly.  We have some very light, milky cloudy cover but the sunshine is coming through and providing the morning warm up.  There's hardly a breeze out of the North at 3-5mph.  It's the calm before the storm.  Enjoy today as it'll be another pleasant day with plenty of sunshine, temps in the low-50s and NE breezes at 10-15mph.  Tonight... mostly cloudy with areas of patchy fog, temps in the upper 40s with East winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... there's a "Gale Warning" and a "Flood Watch" posted.  It begins tomorrow night and ends Monday night.  Here's how it goes... much like last weekend, the rain and wind will begin Sunday.  We'll probably wake tomorrow with patchy fog and rain beginning sometime in the morning evolving into a steady rain by the afternoon.  Temps will be in the upper 50s with E-SE winds at 10-20mph.  Chance of rain is 90%.  Tomorrow night... heavy rain and SE winds at 25-35mph +gusting. 1-2 inches of rain is expected.  Monday... morning rain and very windy (W-SW 20-30mph +gusting), temps in the upper 50s with Ms Sun possibly peeking through the clouds in the afternoon and the winds simmering down by sunset. You know the drill... be aware of the high tide times as the flood/rain waters are going to inevitably be all over the island especially the low-lying areas. The backside of the island's high tide is an hour later than the ocean side. Watch where you leave your vehicle parked. Parking is free on the entire island... feel free to move to those higher elevations on the island.  Oh, don't forget about those outdoor decorations, trashcans, flags, etc.  Get that stuff secured today.  Stay safe.
High Tide: 10:27AM
Low Tide: 4:52PM
Ocean Temp: 49°
Sunrise: 7:11AM
Sunset: 4:38PM
Some higher elevations:  North Wildwood... between 12th - 15th and Surf Avenue and in Wildwood... between Baker Avenue - Burk Avenue at New Jersey
