Independence Day Weekend - 2022

Mornin'!  Happy Independence Day Weekend!  It's 73° in Wildwood NJ.  It's a bit sticky outside this morning.  Humidity's 84% with a dew point of 71°.  Here's an fyi about "humidity" (also known as "hum-a-ditti" which is what my Father always called it), but a dew point between 55° and 60° is noticeably humid.  It becomes really muggy when the dew point is above 60°.  If above 65°, it becomes very uncomfortable. Any dew point readings above 70° are oppressive and even dangerous as it's the kind of heavy air and stickiness that you would experience in the tropics or a brutal summer heat wave. It's unsafe for those with breathing issues. Our dew point will be just over 70° throughout today and tonight. 
It's sunny with breezes out of the SW at 10-15mph.  All forecasts are pointing to clouds entering the scene with partial cloudiness early then full on cloud cover this afternoon.  There's a 50% chance of scattered showers and/or thunderstorms in the afternoon.  Temps will be in the low-mid 80s with S-SW winds at 10-20mph.  Tonight... 65% chance of scattered thunderstorms with a low of 71° and winds out of the SW at 10-20mph. Tomorrow... rain in the morning with partial clearing by the afternoon.  Temps will be just tapping 80°.  Monday... sunny and 78° with low humidity (dew point 58°).
