Happy Autumn! Happy Birthday Al!





Mornin'! It's Fall...as it became official less than an hour ago as the Autumnal Equinox arrived. It's also our youngest child's birthday! Happy birthday and many many well wishes to you Alison. Who loves ya girl? Not sure who's gonna love the forecast as it's a "wet" one. It's currently 71° in Wildwood. It's still dark outside and even though everything's wet (it's not raining yet), it's just humid and drippy. No breezes to write about yet either, but they'll be around later out of the S-SE at 10mph. Today's forecast...mid-upper 70's and "wet" with 90% chance of rain today and that percentage sticks around for most of the weekend as there's an eastern rain threat heading right for the coast. It could bring up to 4" of rain from now right through to the start of next week. We're talking flooding as my stomach just went into a bit of a knot. I may blog about the weather, but I truly hate this intense, tropical stuff...especially for the Irish Fall Festival, Classic Car Weekend and Seafarer's Weekend. It truly sucks. So, prepare for a cloudy, humid weekend with occasion downpours and/or thunderstorms and there could be a peek of sun here and there thrown in the mix. We're counting on the luck of the Irish big time this weekend for a bit of fair weather. Say it with me now, "ádh na hEireannaigh". Just in case the island is flooding...keeping an eye on the tides as that will help too. Remember...don't drive through flood water! High tide-4:38p.m.; Low tide-10:12a.m.; Ocean temp:71°; Sunset:6:55p.m.

Weather Mistress: "this truly sucks"? There you go bending the mind of young weather lovers everywhere! I'm singing in the rain! (and maybe swimming, too!)
