9/11

The Bikers are roaring to the Shore this weekend

Mornin'!  Today's blog is in honor of those who lost their lives and loved ones in the 9/11/01 tragedy. I love my firefighters and first responders and thank you for your service!
It's 69° in Wildwood.  It's dark but those even darker ominous clouds are still visible in the morning sky.  We're drying out from some "bull pissin' on a flat rock" rains yesterday.  The island took on some major heavy downpours and storms with flooding everywhere.  I guess you could say we're drying out tropically at least at the moment as there's lots of moisture out there both in the air along with the island's saturation.  We're going to have a cloudy start today as Ms Sun's due to check in later this morning / early afternoon.  She'll dry things out; temporarily anyway.  Temps will get into the low-mid 80s as she shines down and breezes wift (waft) over us from the N-NW at 15-20mph.  Tonight...some cloudiness again as temps drop down into the mid-70s with breezes out of the SE at 5-7mph.
Here's the weekend's forecast:
Saturday:30% chance of rain showers and/or thunderstorms (some of which could be severe) with temps in the low 80s. Saturday night: 70% chance of rain (especially before midnight) with temps in the mid 60s.
Sunday:20% chance of rain showers with temps in the upper 70s.  Sunday night: clearing with temps in the low 60s.
Beginning Monday throughout next week: smooth sailing with abundant sunshine and summer temps (low 80s).
High tide:7:28a.m.
Low tide:1:10p.m.
Ocean temp:75°
Sunset:7:15p.m.
Rip Currents: Low risk
New Moon: this weekend (higher tides than usual)
