Primary Election Day

Mornin'!  It's 51° in chilly Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's up and shining through some morning, wispy cloud cover.  Winds are out of the N-NE at 5-10mph.  It'll be sunny again today with temps near 70° and N-NE winds shifting from the S-SE at 10-15mph.  Tonight... partly clear, temps in the upper 50s and W-SW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... mostly sunny skies, temps around 70° with E-NE winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow night... clear, temps in the upper 50s with S-SW winds at 5-10mph.  Thursday... sunny, temps in the low-70s and S-SW winds at 10-20mph.  Thursday night... partly clear becoming clear overnight, temps in the low-60s and SW winds at 10-20mph.  It's with a heavy heart that I'm reporting of a young, missing swimmer who ventured out into not-yet-guarded beach here in Wildwood yesterday.  This is the second drowning (the other was in Ocean City NJ in the middle of May) on the South Jersey coast this year.  Since our beaches are not officially guarded during the week (only weekends from Memorial weekend until June 16th), it's always advised to never go swimming without the lifeguards present.  Not to mention, the rip currents have been in the Moderate zone recently meaning the waves are 2-3' along with a very strong undertow as well as very cold water temps (still under 60°).  Yesterday afternoon, 3 high school kids were rescued by the first responders and fire department but the 4th boy has yet to be recovered as search efforts continued into last evening.  The rip currents are still in that Moderate Zone today.  And, it's Primary Election Day in New Jersey.  Polls for Wildwood are at the Convention Center at 4501 Boardwalk.  For Wildwood Crest it's Crest Pier 1 at 5800 Ocean Ave.  And, for North Wildwood it's 900 Central Ave. Recreation Center. 4.5 square miles is the size of our island by the way.
