Hump Day!

Mornin'!  It's 74 muggy degrees in Wildwood.  We got our rains yesterday and last night.  Sometimes the downpours were tropic-like...straight down and intense.  We went unscathed in regard to flooding and at least there's no watering needed for the next couple days.  Ok...it's cloudy as Ms Sun's due up in about a ½ hour or so.  Not sure what kind of display it'll be but clouds mixed with a sunrise could be just the ticket for a lovely photo.  It's humid as hell at the moment.  Since I have the air conditioner on, it hit me like a smack in the face when I walked onto the back porch this morning.  And talk about the fragrance of the sea and marsh permeating the air...whew...thick and heavy (I love it though)!  We're going to have a mix of clouds (more cloud cover in the morning) but mostly sunny day today with temps tapping the 80° mark.  Breezes (nothing at the moment) will be out of the West at 16-19mph.  Tonight...back into the low 70s with breezes ramping up a bit out of the W-NW at 23-26mph under clear, starlit skies.  Let's just mention those breezes again as West winds on the island usually mean green head flies will be wifting (I mean wafting) in with the breeze and those little suckers bite so pack the insect repellant.  West Winds = Greenheads! The weekend weather's looking 50-50 as Saturday's looking like a really beautiful day as evening rain showers enter the mix (40% chance) while Sunday's got some scattered showers in the forecast as well (40% chance). Just saying!
