Not a "10" Saturday

Mornin'!  It's 77° in Wildwood NJ.  It' overcast and cloudy at the moment with very light breezes out of the SE at 3-5mph.  Expect a mix of clouds and sun this morning as we head into a mostly cloudy day (I'm going with peeks of sun throughout the day).  There's a 20% chance of showers today.  It'll feel warm and humid with sun or no sun as the humidity's 80% with temps in the mid-upper 80s and breezes out of the S-SE at 10-15mph.  Tonight...60% chance of rain showers and/or thunderstorms with temps in the mid-upper 70s and breezes out of the South at 5-8mph. Tomorrow...pretty much the same with a 30-50% chance of showers and/or thunderstorms with a good chance of those rain clouds clearing out by the afternoon.
High tide:8:32a.m. and 8:48p.m.
Low tide:2:22p.m.
Ocean temp:77°
Sunset:8:01p.m.
UV Index: 6 (medium)
Rip Currents: Low risk
Remember that "New" moon... it's been causing tidewater to seep into our streets all over the island.  It's amazing how the moon controls it, but that salty, corrosive "tidewater" should be avoided and not driven through as it's harmful to the underside of your vehicle. Unless of course, you have the ability to get under there and completely hose it down.  It is done here.  To get off and on the island during the high tides...using North Wildwood is your best bet for less street flooding but stay on New Jersey Avenue for traversing across the Wildwoods...less street flooding likely there too.  And, also notice that the "low" tides are lower than usual as well.  Lot's of mucky marsh exposed at low tide not to mention the beach looks much bigger.
