Fog's Back

This Morning's Webcam Shot - North WW
Mornin'!  It's 42° in Wildwood NJ.  We're in the "soup" again!  Fog has settled over the island again and we're damp and drippy. Winds are barely there out of the NW at 1-3mph.  Before I lay out today's weather, I have to report that Wildwood got up to 68° yesterday (that's according to my backporch thermometer) and with the warmth from all the sunshine, it felt very close to a Summer's day.  I'm not exaggerating. I know the meterologists from Philly had it all wrong when giving last night's forecast.  They simply included the coast as foggy and chilly like the big city.  They didn't have a clue what a warm beauty yesterday was in Wildwood.  For today... areas of dense fog this morning, becoming mostly cloudy (possible peeks of sun this afternoon),  temps in the low-50s with some North winds becoming east this afternoon at 5-10mph.  Tonight... cloudy with showers early becoming windy with a steady rain overnight.  Temps will drop into the low-40s with E-NE winds at 20-30mph +gusting.  Chance of rain... 100%.  Tomorrow... rain (100% in the morning and 75-100% in the afternoon), temps in the upper 40s with NE winds ata 15-25mph.  Tomorrow night... more rain (80% chance) with temps dropping into the mid-30s and NE winds at 10-15mph.  Monday... rainy morning (70% chance) with windy conditions as it'll turn into a mostly cloudy day with temps in the mid-40s.  Monday night... partly cloudy and cold (temps just about tapping 30°).  Tuesday... sunny with temps around 40°.  We could see tidal flooding with this rain system checking in this weekend.  Be aware of those low-lying areas on the island as well as High Tide times.  Remember that the back side of the island (marsh/bay) has its high tides an hour later than the ocean's high tides.  And, don't drive through flood waters.
High Tides: 9:06AM and 9:40PM
Low Tide: 3:28PM
Ocean Temp: 40°
Sunrise: 7:09AM
