Good To Go After A Nice Dousing!

Mornin'!  It's 67° in Wildwood NJ (no typo).  Ms Sun's up and shining.  Humidity's 81% with a Dew Point of 62° and breezes are very light out of the North at 6-8mph.  What a difference a day makes!  It almost has a feel of Autumn in this morning's air.  It's quite amazing to feel 10° cooler than what these recent summer mornings have been.  Last evening's storms including thunder and lightning brought torrential rains and a fantastic watering.  With the house lights blinking from the lightning strikes and winds, and torrential, tropical rains that you could barely see through, we had some serious street flooding. Thankfully, no damage and the flood waters subsided and dried up in no time.  No need to pull out the hose and water today as the gardens are far from thirsty. Expect a mix of sun and clouds today with temps tapping 80°.  North winds will shift from the W-SW at 10-15mph.  Tonight.. partly cloudy, back down into the mid-60s with light and variable winds.  Tomorrow... a repeat of today.  As for the weekend... Saturday looks like another repeat of today with Sunday coming in much cloudier and breezier.  Also, remember it'll be a Full Moon tomorrow and we're already seeing the tides much higher than normal.  No doubt that tide water will be seeping onto the island in those low-lying areas during high tide times.  Best to keep away from salty tide water when driving or parking.
