Monday Mix

Mornin'!  It's 52° this clear, very breezy Monday morn in Wildwood.  It'll be clear for Ms Sun's grand entrance in about a ½ hour.  It'll stay mostly clear throughout the morning and early afternoon. There's a 10% chance of precipitation early evening as temperatures stay in the low-60 range over the coast all day. Winds will be competing for center stage coming from the South at 25-35mph +gusting (another bad hair day).  Clouds will begin filtering in this afternoon as the "Mix of Sun and Clouds" is in everyone's forecast.  By this evening a possible glimpse of the sunset and maybe even the Full Moonrise with the clouds doing their best to steal the show.  Late tonight...cloudy with light rain developing after midnight. Low around 55F. Winds S at 20 to 30 mph. Chance of rain 50%. Tomorrow's looking like a washout (chance of rain 90°). 
Tonight... a Lunar Eclipse! For most U.S. states east of the Mississippi River, tonight's total lunar eclipse will likely turn out to be a total bust, while in contrast, much of the central and western United States will likely get a fine view of the "blood moon" in all its coppery-red brilliance.
The first total lunar eclipse of 2014 occurs in the overnight hours tonight and will be visible across most of North America, South America, Hawaii and parts of Alaska. Depending on your location, it begins either late tonight or in the wee hours of Tuesday, but as with every skywatching event, you can only see it if Mother Nature cooperates.  Seems that along the East coast tomorrow's very early morning weather and cloud cover would prevent the show stopping event here. 
Tonight's lunar eclipse runs from 12:53 a.m. EDT (0453 GMT) to about 6 a.m. EDT (1000 GMT).High tide:8:05a.m.
Low tide:2:02p.m.
Ocean temp:48°
Sunset:7:35p.m.
Moonrise:7:11p.m.
