Summer's Upon Us!

Our Little Lana (she's heading this way for the weekend!)

Mornin'!  It's 72° in Wildwood NJ.  Happy Summer!  It's officially the longest day of the year...almost 15 hours of daylight...5½ more hours than the Winter Solstice.  The Summer Solstice marks the exact moment when the sun's direct rays reach as far north as they get (appearing straight overhead)...highest and longest path through the sky, the Earth's position is causing our Northern hemisphere to tilt right toward Ms Sun bringing more direct sunlight thus warmer temps. We may not see much of Ms Sun today though as it'll be mostly cloudy with a 40% chance of showers and/or thunderstorms today (mostly after Noon).  She'll definitely be peeking through the cloud cover off and on today though.  Temps will barely hit 80° with West winds at 6-8mph becoming NE by this afternoon.  Tonight...20% chance of showers and/or thunderstorms with temps in the mid-60s and Easterly breezes at 6-10mph.  Sorry to report that tomorrow and Saturday don't look too promising.  Both have mostly cloudy days with chances of rain in the forecasts (especially on Saturday) as Sunday's the keeper on this one!  Whatever way you look at it...it's Summertime and the livin' is easy! Happy Summer!  We'll be celebrating this weekend with our little ones visiting!
