Rough Hump

Mornin'!  It's 69° in Wildwood NJ.  We're under cloud cover with stiff breezes out of the SE at 10-20mph.  It's gray and breezy with stiff ocean breezes wifting (wafting) over the island.  The windows are open, curtains are in motion and you can feel the cool dampness coming through the house.  It feels nice.  It'll be a somewhat crapola kind of day with mostly cloudy conditions as well as peeks of sun, low 70s and stiff breezes (SE at 15-20mph).  We could have an isolated shower after lunchtime (20% chance).  The clouds aren't going anywhere for awhile. The chance of showers and/or thunderstorms tonight is 60% as temps drop back down to around where they are now with those pesky (very stiff) breezes (Southery 18-25mph) circling around us.  One forecast mentioned that some of these storms could produce heavy rainfall.  Keep in mind the Full Moon is tomorrow and the higher than usual Tides are already making their presence known.  Be aware that we could see tidal flooding with or without any heavy rainfall especially during the high tides.  Don't drive through water flooding the island as it's tide (salt) water.  The weather also doesn't look that great tomorrow as it could very well be a repeat of today...gray and damp.  At this time, the first of the July 4th weekends is looking lovely (beginning Friday) with warmer temps and plenty of sunshine.  I need to mention the surf as "moderate" risk is posted for rip currents today.  Check with lifeguards before entering the surf, swim near a lifeguard and never swim alone or at night.  The ocean's going to be a rough one today.
