Humpday Torrents

Mornin'!  It's 57° in Wildwood NJ.  It's raining at a good clip along with Southerly winds at 20-25mph +gusting.  If there ever was a reason to stay in bed... this morning's weather is #1.  Ugh... it's perfectly miserable out there.  Perhaps it's a good day to bake those Christmas cookies or write out those holiday cards.  If your outdoor decs are up, you might want to check on how secure everything is out there.  Parka with hood up is strongly suggested.  I should also remind you of flooding on the island as we're only 4 days away from the Full Moon and the fuller the moon, the higher the tides during those high tide times.  The backside of the island has high tide an hour later than the ocean side.  Be aware of the possibility of tidal flooding on the island and do what it takes not to drive through any flood waters.  Also, know your high tide times and the island's low-lying areas that are prone to flooding.  
It'll be like this throughout the entire day and night this Christmasy hump-day.  Expect rain (100% chance) 1-2" expected.  Temps will hover around 60° with S-SW winds at 25-35mph +gusting.  Tonight... 90% chance of rain, temps dropping significantly to the low-mid 30s with W-NW winds at 25-35mph +gusting.  Tomorrow... sunny with temps in the mid-40s and West winds at 15-25mph +gusting.  Tomorrow night... clear, 34° feeling like 28° with NW winds at 10-15mph.  Friday... partly sunny, temps around 40° with N-NW winds at 10-15mph.  As for this coming weekend... mostly sunny on Saturday with a high of 40° and E-NE winds at 5-10mph. Sunday... cloudy, temps in the low-50s with E-SE winds at 5-10mph.
