Coastal Flood Warnings Still in Effect


Mornin'!  It's 61° in Wildwood. It's dry (thanks to the winds).  Also thanks to the winds...my yard is covered in debris from the trees.  It's gray and overcast.  It's loud (freight train winds haven't taken a break) as the winds remain out of the NE at 35-42mph sustained with gusting (50mph).  Temps may go up a degree or two (62°-63°).  It's chilly and raw and miserable outside.  I never desired sunshine and stillness so much before.  It's 4 days of this now.  We're to expect more of these winds for another couple days (albeit a tad calmer) yet I'm seeing peeks of sun on today's forecast!  Flooding is still a concern though so our vehicles are staying parked blocks away on higher ground to avoid this afternoon's high tide.  We had a couple heavy flooding moments yesterday and throughout the night as the harbor overflowed again heading in our direction (¼ block away).  The wellies are still sitting by the front door. Tonight...more of the same as temps go down into the upper 50s and the winds stay checked in (NE 30-35mph).  Tomorrow...looks like overcast and chance of rain showers and more winds. What else?
High tide:1:56p.m. (one hour later on the back bays)
Low tide:8:14p.m.
Ocean temp:69°
Sunset:6:39p.m.
