Coastal Flood Advisory Posted

Mornin'!  It's 48° in Wildwood NJ.  It's gray and misty and feels more like 40° with the windchill.  We're saturated from yesterday's downpours throughout the day and night.  Tides appear to be high tide but that's until 4:00pm this afternoon.  Expect another wet and windy downer weather day with cloud cover and some severe winds as temps rise into the upper 50s.  Showers are developing this afternoon with possibilities of thunderstorms (70% chance).  Winds will be the showcase as remnants of March still exist... E-SE at 20-30mph +gusting of 40+mph.  Tonight... rain, winds, temps in the mid-40s with West winds at 20-30mph +gusting.  Chance of rain is 70%.  There's a COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY in effect until 8PM this evening.  Due to the inundation of rain and winds pushing the tide water onshore, low-lying areas and tidal waterways that are vulnerable and prone to flooding will be impacted.  Be aware of your low-lying areas and high tide times.  The back bay waters have their "High Tide" times an hour later than the ocean's times.  Tomorrow... sunny start to the day, increasing clouds later in the day, 50% chance of rain showers by the afternoon, temps in the mid-50s and W-SW winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow night... partly cloudy, temps in the low-40s and West winds at 15-25mph +gusting.  As for this coming weekend... Saturday looks like partly sunny, temps around 50° and NW winds at 20-25mph with Sunday starting out sunny becoming partly cloudy with temps in the mid-50s and N-NW winds at 10-15mph.
