D-Day

Mornin'!  It's 65° in Wildwood NJ.  It's sunny with that ol' smoky haze in the sky.  Winds are out of the West at 8-10mph.  Expect a mix of clouds and sun today with the possibility of a stray shower or thunderstorm (25% chance) later this afternoon.  Temps will be in the mid-upper 70s with West winds becoming very gusty at 10-20mph.  Tonight... a slight chance (15%) of rain before 9pm under hazy conditions.  There will still patchy smoke clouds up above.  Temps will drop into the upper 50s with West winds at 10-15mph tonight.  Tomorrow... widespread hazy start to the day with patchy smoke, basically a sunny day with temps in the mid-upper 70s and NW winds at 10mph.  
There's a Red Flag Warning issued regarding these gusty winds we're about to get (again).  The reason for the warning (11am - 8pm) is due to the extreme dry conditions and low humidity as of late along with these winds due in today.  It's all perfect ingredients for wild Fires.  Be aware of what you're doing in regards to cigarettes, cigars, campfires, cooking fires etc.  Be smart.  New Jersey's a tinder box right now.  No sense in throwing a lit cigarette out the car window. 
It's D-Day today.  On June 6, 1944, more than 160,000 allied troops landed on a 50-mile stretch of Normandy beach on the French coastline to fight the Nazi Germany waiting with guns-a-blazing.  More than 9,000 troops lost their lives just in that first 24 hour period.  Today we'll remember.
