Foggy Start / Partly Cloudy Finish

Mornin'!  I'm home! After traveling in the car for 1,550 miles and spending 4 days with our daughter and her hubby in Georgia, we've made it back safe and sound.  We made every effort and took all the necessary precautions during this time of the pandemic to maintain the safety of our good health and those of others but only time will tell after 14 days home and quarantined to see if we didn't contract this contagious, deadly disease. Apprehensive times for sure. I must note that to my very happy surprise, everywhere I was (rest stops, take-outs, drive-throughs, gas stations, ferry, motels, stores, etc.) everyone and I mean everyone was wearing a mask and keeping a social distance unlike the visitors to Wildwood this Spring, Summer and Fall.  Traveling through Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia was quite amazing to see everyone taking care to wear a mask and keep a safe distance. This southern part of our Country was addressing this Virus like I had yet to witness here in Wildwood the last 6 months and what a relief that was. As for weather, it seems that the weather down South hasn't been far off from our own South Jersey coastal weather (I have been keeping an eye on Wildwood while away) and our weathers have been almost perfectly matched. Even the fog was down South!
It's 63° in Wildwood NJ.  We're currently socked in heavy fog.  Breezes are out of the S-SE at 2-3mph and can barely be felt.  It's drippy and wet outside as this heavy cloud that has encased us moved in late last night and has kept us nicely watered.  It'll be foggy and gray most of the morning as the clouds hang around into later this morning / early afternoon.  By then, we'll see peeks of sunshine at least until sunset.  Temps will get into the upper 60s with S-SE breezes at 5-10mph.  Tonight... partly cloudy, low around 60° with S-SW breezes at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... a mix of clouds and sun, high of 68° and winds light and variable.  It'll look like a mostly sunny stretch at least until Sunday when rain is on the weather map.
