Storm's-A-Brewing

Sunset Lake, Wildwood Crest, NJ

Mornin'!  It's 65° in Wildwood.  It's overcast and very windy (E-NE 20-25mph).  The bedroom curtains were blowing straight out!  Okay...it'll be mostly cloudy and windy today (E-NE 25-30 +gusting up to 35-40mph) as showers may develop later this afternoon (60% chance).  A classic bad hair day...you know the drill!  Temperatures today will tap the 70s.  There's a "coastal hazard statement" issued as Rip Currents will be off the chart (high risk) for today and tomorrow as well as high surf (7' waves).  Tonight...rain (heavy at times) as it continues into tomorrow with chance of tidal flooding (a bit higher tides due to the New Moon too) as this coastal storm nails our island for at least the next 24 hours and is supposed to check out tomorrow night. Oh...for the weekend...looking summery with warm temps and sunshine!  Speaking of sun...last evening I was able to witness the first sunset of Autumn.  The sunsets as of late have been no less than spectacular and I was brought to tears by this one!
