Soggy Saturday Along The Coast

Mornin'!  It's 57° in Wildwood NJ.  It's overcast and a tad breezy off the ocean making it feel on the chilly side. Actually that's putting it mildly in my opinion as the ocean's 58° temperature and the cold, moist air wifting (wafting) over you can be more than annoying.  It's not going anywhere either.  In fact, the winds plan to get much stronger as we enjoy the weekend.  Here's the scoop...today begins with cloud cover (which is now) and relatively calm conditions. Then the winds pickup (E-NE 20-30mph possibly gusting to 40mph creating a very bad hair day) right before rain hits (70-100% chance).  Rain showers could be heavy at times. Temps will stay around where they are now almost tapping 60°.  Tonight...60% chance of rain showers with those pesky (I'm being kind here) winds continuing through Sunday morning.  Temps head back down into the low-50s.  Sunday will start out with showers and breezes but peeks of sun are in the forecast now.  Someone needs to make up their mind. Full Moon today (tonight at 5p.m.) so watch for tidal flooding.  Some parts of the island flood more than others and with rain in the forecast that combination equals "flooding somewhere".
High tides:8:32a.m. and 8:48p.m. (remember...the back bays tides times are later by 1 hour)
Low tide:2:19p.m.
Ocean temp:58°
Sunset:8:12p.m.
Moonrise (if we were so lucky):8:00p.m.
Oh...I'd wear something with a hood today if going out!
