Wild, Wet, Windy, Wednesday Washout!

Mornin'! Felt like an "alliteration" with my java. It's 68° this dark, damp, dank, rainy morn on the island. It's looking like a washout this humpday. These light rains are going to turn heavy by late morning/early afternoon. They'll continue into early evening and become lightly scattered showers until a clearing comes later tonight. Let's talk winds...not much to write about at the moment, but they're coming. By late this morning...offshore, ocean winds will be wafting over WW at 15-25mph with gusts of 35-40mph. We're talking a pretty bad hair day. Temps will stay up there though and might hit the 70° mark making things feel a bit humid. A bit humid? Ha..that's a joke! Who are they kidding, rain with ocean winds gusts? It'll feel downright soaking wet, with bad hair! Guess your best bet is a windbreaker with hood up and flipflops. Watch for flooding at high tide. High tide:12:52p.m.; Low tide: 7:42p.m.; Ocean temp:67°; Sunset: 6:16p.m.
Footnote: The sun's out at 3p.m. this afternoon and blue skies are seriously competing with the cloud cover. Oh...no rain and no winds since late morning.

I had to remove my hat or lose it to the wind today.
