Happy Labor Day and "Bye" Hermine!

Mornin'!  It's 65° in Wildwood NJ.  Windows are open and the lovely stiff breezes are flowing in and pushing all the window curtains in this lovely (feels like Autumn) morning.  Now classified as a post-tropcial storm, Hermine (she could have been a lot "meaner") is expected to remain powerful as it moves slowly northwestward off the Mid-Atlantic coast through at least Tuesday.  High surf, gale force winds, storm-surging flooding and dangerous rip currents could occur through Tuesday but that's not our coastline I'm happy to report (it's the New York and Massachusettes coastline).
Today...our barrier island will have it's share of beach erosion (rough surf) and some tidal flooding (some storm surge push) but thankfully Hermine's really turning away from us.  Today will be partly sunny/partly cloudy (the clouds and sun are battling it out as I type) and windy (N-NW at 15-25mph) with temps tapping the low 80s.  Tonight...upper 60s, clouds checking in with a 20% chance of a shower or two and NW winds at 10-20mph.  These winds and high tides aren't going anywhere at least until tomorrow.  Just watch for any tidal/street flooding during the high tide times but I think we're good to go.  Oh...never drive through tide water (corrosive salt water out to destroy undercarriages of vehicles). I walked the boards yesterday (a very bad hair day I might add) and the beach had its share of holiday beach goers.  The smart folk made their beach campsites along the dunes protected from the intense breezes and sloughing sands.  You could sit on the beach but the ocean was "closed".  Same for today. And again...sit by the dunes and expect "no ocean dipping" and you should be good to go.  Oh well, so much for a perfect Labor Day Weekend!  We had the trifecta this year...Memorial Day, July 4th and Labor Day...all crapola washouts!  The Jewel's upon us though and life is good!
