Rainy Day III


Mornin'!  It's 61° in Wildwood NJ.  I've never been more grateful for my repeated reflections on last week's vacation in Georgia with summer heat and blue skies for a solid 8 days! At the moment here in Wildwood, it's raining again at a nice clip with breezes out of the East at 8-10mph. It's a little bit floody (near my corner intersection area closer to the harbor) as it's been raining on and off for 3 days now.  There are not many places for all that rainwater to go when you live on a mound of sand and are surrounded by the ocean and bay.  It'll be another wet, miserable day with 100% chance of rain throughout the today right into tonight.  One thing more is added to the weather mix today and that's the wind.  Expect strong winds to arrive late morning out of the E-NE at 25-35mph as they'll be checked in throughout the day and night adding to this crapola weather day.  They should subside just a bit (15-18mph) by tomorrow.  Temps will be where they are now but will probably feel cooler with that wind driven ocean breeze providing a splendid facial sloughing.  Tonight...periods of rain.  Why not?  We should expect a total of a couple of inches of rain for this Friday.  Tonight...temps in the upper 50s and winds will be out of the E-NE at 15-22mph.  Tomorrow...rainy day IV with periods of the showers on and off and those nasty winds subsiding just  a bit.  By Sunday night, we just might see the moon and stars..."might"!  There's a Coastal Flood Advisory posted again as low-lying areas will no doubt be flooded today.  Be aware of the tides.  Driving through flood waters shouldn't even be a consideration.  Oh, and I'd continue to keep the wellies close at hand too!
High tide:11:10a.m.
Low tide:4:50p.m.
Ocean temp:58°
Sunset:8:09p.m.
