Happy Autumn and Happy Birthday to our daughter Alison! This one's for you!

Mornin'!  It's 64° in Wildwood.  Happy Birthday Alison!  Happy Autumn (hard to believe I'm typing that)! It's feeling like autumn this week.  We're doing the Autumn Equinox today...same amount of daylight hours and night time hours...12 hours each.   It's still breezy and cool outside.  The winds and clouds are persistent this week and we're still overcast with lots of cloudy skies and breezes surrounding the island.  Everyone's saying Ms Sun's on her way today so, I'm going with that...mostly sunny with temps in the low-mid 70s.  The breezes remain out of the NE at 19-25mph today so more bad hair day on tap.  Tonight...low 60s and breezes still consistently kickin' butt at 18-23mph out of the N-NE.  The weekend's looking 'eh' as it had been looking like mostly rain but now the rain seems to be holding off until later on Sunday. It'll be a mostly cloudy weekend though. I didn't want to say what I was seeing in all the forecasts up until now for the upcoming weekend as all forecasts pointed to a rainy one for Irish Weekend / Classic Car Weekend. Since this is the last big fling for the island, I was gritting my teeth knowing it could be a washout but thankfully not so much now. The word here is that the Pope's Philadelphia visit is prompting the Philly folks and surrounding area who want to shun the Papal intensity to head to the coast. We just might see the island swollen with visitors like never before.  Remains to be seen.  At least the weekend weather won't be a washout.  Today...looking like a lovely day once these clouds finally decide to check out.
