Coastal Storm Up Ahead

Mornin'!  It's 45° in Wildwood NJ.  It's raining at a decent clip.  It's not windy "yet".  We're prepping for a Nor'easter.  It'll take place beginning later today into tomorrow as wind driven rain is on all the weather forecasts.  Today will be a rainy (100% chance) Sunday with winds out of the E-NE 10-20mph.  Temps will be in the mid-upper 40s.  Tonight more rain as winds pick up significantly still out of the E-NE at 25-45mph w/gusting (50+).  Temps will be in the low-mid 40s.  Tomorrow...more of the same with intense winds and rain.  I heard that the rainfall may not be as intense as once reported as the heaviest and wettest part of this storm could be hanging off the coast and not pouring down on us as once expected.  With that said...we will have some tidal flooding and beach erosion due to the rain and winds.  This badboy will hang out until sometime Tuesday.  Wednesday...a bit calmer with sunshine.
High tide:3:32p.m.
