Beautiful Hump Day

Mornin'!  It's 70° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's up.  Breezes are light out of the W-NW at 4-6mph.  Humidity's high... 98% with a dewpoint of 72°.  It's a stunning morning on the Coast. But, whew what a day yesterday!  I'm glad that's over and we have much to be grateful for with that ol' Isaias tropical storm.  Fortunately for us, its trajectory was more inland and west of the coast.  Unfortunately for my hometown, Philly got the one, two punch... flooding and winds.  We had no serious damage (other than my trees getting some very serious pruning from the 60+mph winds) and more importantly... no major flooding.  We're all set and ready for a lovely, calm summers day today.  Expect plenty of sunshine, high in the mid-80s with W-NW breezes at 5-10mph.  Tonight... clouds roll on in as temps drop into the mid-70s with S-SW winds at 4-7mph.  There's an 80% chance of rain and/or thunderstorms developing late.  Tomorrow... looks like it could be a rainy day with 60% chance of scattered rain showers and/or thunderstorms and gusty winds.  The weekend's looking okay so far... sunny and warm.

You are better than on line news sources. YOU have electricity! Glad no major damage to your area. Tougher times for those further inland.

Yes we have electricity! Lights flashing all throughout the storm but never lost power. MY daughter and my best friend (Philly areas) lost power all throughout yesterday. We lucked out on this storm! Lots to be grateful for.
