Gray Hump Day This Last Day Of September!


Mornin'!  It's 71° in Wildwood.  It's still dark and cloudy.  It's breezy (SW winds at 15-20mph). We had a nice dose of rain last night and on the overnight.  It's not raining now and the winds are drying things up.  But, we're supposed to have rain showers throughout the day today and tonight.  In fact, the forecast looks like clouds and rain right up until Tuesday.  We now have Tropical Storm Joaquin in our sites expecting to strengthen into a hurricane today as it moves slowly toward the Bahamas. The storm may turn to the north Friday as a Category 2 hurricane, potentially aiming for the eastern seaboard early next week.  Today...50% chance of rain with temps in the mid-upper 70s.  Winds out of the W-SW at 14-18mph.
Tonight...more rain possible (60% chance) with breezes out of the N-NW at 15-25mph and temps down into the lo-mid 60s.  It seems like every forecast I've checked is saying rain, rain and more rain likely (could be 10+ inches) by this time next week.  I guess we'll all be hunkering down for awhile after taking inventory on the wellies, umbrellas, milk and bread as I keep a close eye on Joaquin (love that name).  Until next year...see ya September (my Favorite weather month)!
High tide:10:12a.m.
Low tide:4:22p.m.
Ocean temp:71°
Sunset:6:45p.m.
Rip Currents:High (Dangerous risk)
Footnote: Joaquin was just upgraded to a Hurricane a few minutes ago (8a.m.) with 75mph winds.
