Wetness in store for Columbus Day

Mornin'! It's 63° in WW this morning. It's still dark outside and lightly raining as I type. Daylight is due within the next ½ hour or so. No sunrise or sun shining today though. Wetness is in store as showers are due throughout most of the day. The local forecasters are saying that west of the island (the mainland) will receive more rain than us...we'll have to wait and see. It'll be cloudy, breezy (breezes out of the E-NE @ 15-25mph with some gusting), cooler (temps won't get out of the 60's) and showers off and on throughout the day. Don't know about anyone else, but I'm preparing for rain today. Watch for flooding on the island. Full moon+High tide=Flooded streets. High tide: 8:12a.m.; Low tide:2:37p.m.; Ocean temp: 67°; Sunset: 6:26p.m.; Full moonrise: 6:27p.m. The sun will be setting almost the exact same time the moon will be rising today and I'm not so sure if the sky will be clear by then. If so, that ol' harvest moon is something to see when it crosses that horizon. The Monarch butterflies are still hanging around a bit...something else to see!
