A Nuisance Nor'easter Weekend Storm

Mornin'!  It's 41° in Wildwood.  It clear and Ms Sun will be rising any minute as the "red" sky is over the horizon and we know what "red sky" means.  It's breezy (NE at 15-25mph).  It's aromatic (smell of the sea along with winter).  It's cold and crisp and feels like a winter's morn not Spring (which is tomorrow).  It's March...enough said. Occasional light rain and snow develops later today and continues through Sunday evening. Maybe a little light accumulation. More of a nuisance storm than anything. It'll be sunny to start today but the clouds are coming later this morning which will give way to a rainy afternoon (90% chance). Temps will only get a couple degrees higher. Tonight...temps drop (low 30s) with rain and snow showers into the overnight with winds out of the NE at 23-26mph. We'll wake to rain and/or a wintry mix and winds for the first day of Spring tomorrow. Accumulation is a tough one as all forecast differ but the local weather guy is saying a dusting to an inch of snow. It will be unseasonably cold and breezy so pretty unpleasant to be outside this weekend. Brisk onshore winds will lead to some minor tidal flooding along the shore Sunday but nothing major. We do warm up significantly later next week, as it will feel and look more like spring starting Wednesday. 
High tide:6:25p.m.
