Shady Monday

Mornin'!  It's 74° in Wildwood NJ.  It's gray and overcast with a fresh onshore stiff breeze (S-SE 18-22mph).  Ms Sun's doing her best to squeeze through the cloud cover.  With just coming off high tide and with these winds, the ocean's showing off big time with some crazy, rough, gnawing, pounding, unpredictable, higher-than-normal surf.  It was showing off all weekend and doing what it does best...eroding our beaches. We're still headed for some unstable weather this week beginning today.  There's a 20-30% chance of showers and/or thunderstorms this morning and by this afternoon that percentages go up to 70%.  It'll be cloudy (but don't rule out peeks of sun though) with temps in the mid-upper 70s and stiff breezes staying checked in out of the S-SE at 20-30mph.  Tonight...more of the same with cloud cover, 60% chance of rain and SE winds at 16-22mph.  Tomorrow...still cloudy and the possibility of showers but the winds begin to settle down providing a much more comfortable and less strenuous bike ride.
