Mornin'! It's 66° in breezy, cloudy Wildwood. We've been making national news as of late as our illustrious city commissioners have come up with yet another asinine idea of violating and fining those walking around wearing trousers/shorts too low exposing underpants/skin. Glad they weren't the commissioners when I was walking the boardwalk with hipster bell bottoms down to you know where in my hayday. It'll be a partly sunny start to the day today although at the moment the clouds are winning that contest. By this afternoon temps will be tapping 80° as the fun begins and very strong winds and downpours are forecasted. 90% chance of severe storms brought to us by a Derecho this afternoon. Definition: Derecho is a Spanish word meaning “straight” or “direct”. In terms of weather, a derecho is a long-lived windstorm with winds in excess of 58 mph. This is equivalent to the damage that can occur during an F1 tornado. The winds are sustained winds and not simply single bursts of wind. There can be gusts of winds in excess of 100 mph. The winds are non-tornadic, although an actual tornado can accompany a derecho. The storms are over 250 miles in length and can cause extensive damage. Our forecasted winds will be coming from the S-SW at 20-25mph throughout the day. Tonight...60% chance of rain. Hunker down.
