Another Summer Beauty

Mornin'!  It's 75° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 94% with a dewpoint of 75°.  Breezes are out of the SW at 10-12mph.  It's hazy and warm this morning as Ms Sun's up and making her way through that morning haze.  The air is thick with moisture as everything's covered in the morning dew.  The outdoor plants and flowers couldn't be any happier with this weather.  I recently watched a clip on the hydrangea which is Wildwood's flower.  I have my own hydrangea out front and cherish and enjoy it each Spring, Summer and Fall.  They are the consummate coastal flora.

It's looking like another nice day on tap with loads of sunshine.  There could be some wispy, milky clouds filtering in on and off throughout the day.  In fact there's a 15% chance of a stray shower or thunderstorm passing by (keep your eye on the sky or Doppler). Temps are going to tap 90° with SW breezes at 10-15mph.  Tonight... a little cloud cover with a stray shower and/or thunderstorm possible (15% chance).  Temps will drop to where they are now... mid-70s with W-SW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... Partly sunny with some clouds in the mix as there's a 35% chance of rain in the afternoon.  Temps will be much cooler... low-80s with E-NE winds at 5-10mph.  Any local rain or storms could produce heavy downpours.  Keep your eye on the sky!  Also, the Full Moon is Thursday so the tides are beginning to be more higher than normal.  Combine that with a sudden downpour and you could experience some tidal flooding.  Be aware of low-lying areas that flood and do all that you can to avoid driving through those salty, damaging, flood waters as they're bad for the undercarriage of your vehicle.
