Partially Wet Hump Day

Mornin'!  It's 58° in Wildwood NJ.  It's raining lightly with breezes out of the E-NE at 10-15mph.  It's feeling raw and chilly out there this morning.  It'll be a mostly gray day with rain showers up to mid-day.  Temps will barely tap 60° with breezes off the ocean (NE at 15-20mph).  We may see peeks of Ms Sun in the early afternoon but the clouds will most likely win the gray sky / blue sky battle.  Tonight...clouds with winds out of the East at 20-25mph and temps where they are now...upper 50s.  Tomorrow looks like more of the same.  Friday and Saturday look like mostly sunny days.  Sunday and Monday...not so much.  It's a New Moon tomorrow (can barely see it in a clear, starlit sky) and if you've been noticing...the tides are incredibly more swollen than usual.  The combination of a very high astronomical tide and an on-shore flow will be pushing that extra water (at least a foot) toward our coast. Not to mention all this rain isn't helping.  Expect some tidal flooding especially this evening's high tide.
High tide:7:19a.m. and 7:41p.m.
Low tide:1:11p.m.
Ocean temp:68°
Sunset:8:15p.m.
