Miserable Wet First Half - Blustery Dry Second Half

Otten's Harbor Last Year After A Snowy Frosting     

Mornin'!  It's 49° in Wildwood NJ.  It feels like 40° with the windchill.  Winds are out of the North at 15-25mph.  It's gray and ominous and raining heavily of course.  Like I said before... "Stay in bed" this morning.  I've got the coffee brewed and the scones baked believe it or not.  And, the "beef barley" soup was made yesterday!  It was delicious if I do say so myself. 

So, here's the weather scoop... a Nor'easter... a significant winter (although the winter solstice is 16 days away) storm has begun slamming our coast.  At least 2 inches of rainfall is expected as this storm began very late last evening and will continue to do so until mid-day today.  My yard is partially under a ½" of water at the moment. Thankfully, we're not in the line of fire like New England as they're going to have a major snow event... like 2 feet in spots due to the whiteout, wind-driven conditions.  I'm just not ready for shoveling 2' of snow drifts.  

As for Wildwood, expect more heavy rainfall off and on until at least late morning / early afternoon today with NW winds at 25-30mph +gusting.  There's a possibility of peeks of sun later this afternoon; perhaps in time for sunset.  Today's temps will be where they are now... upper 40s (possibly tapping 50°). Tonight... 41°, mostly clear, NW winds at 15-25mph  Tomorrow... sunny, high of 42° and NW winds at 15-25mph.  Monday... pretty much a repeat of Sunday with less windy conditions.
