Half Way Until The Autumn Equinox

Mornin'!  We're right smack in the middle of Summer!  It's 71° this cloudy, loud morn.  The ocean's roar is breaking the quietness.   Ms Sun is once again making every effort to be the morning show-stopper but those hazy-lazy clouds are in the mix again.  She'll eventually make her presentation and will be the main event throughout most of the day.  It'll be humid again with mostly sunny skies as clouds will increase giving us a chance of showers/thunderstorms late this afternoon (keep your eye on the sky and/or doppler).  Temps will be in the low-80s.  Winds will be out of the W-NW and shift S-SW at 6-8mph.  Bertha's still looming off our coast way out in the Atlantic, but she's giving us some major surf and rip currents...here's one post I've copied...
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A high risk of rip currents implies that wind and/or wave conditions will support the development of very strong rip currents. These rip currents will be life threatening to anyone who enters the surf. Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away from shore...which occur most often at low spots or breaks in The Sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as groins...jetties and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards and the beach patrol. Pay attention to flags and posted signs (You've been warned about the "groins")!
Tonight...A chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly before 1am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 68 with chance of precipitation 40%.  Oh...tomorrow, Friday, Saturday and Sunday...looking like "Perfection" is up ahead!
High tide:4:39p.m.
Low tide:10:09a.m.
Ocean temp:76°
Sunset:8:06p.m.
Rip Current Risk: Very High
UV Index: High
Full Moon: 4 more days!
