Let's Get This Over With March

Mornin'!  It's 52° in Wildwood NJ.  It feels like 48° due to the winds which are currently out of the SE at 20-25mph. There's a "Wind Advisory" posted until 8AM tomorrow.  It's raining at a decent clip and will continue to rain steadily until this evening. Throw in a "Full Moon" which is not until Monday but pulling on the tides now making them even higher than normal during this Saturday storm and you've got yourself a "Flood Watch" posted along the Coast.  It's time to be vigilant as there's a very strong possibility of some major flooding happening today.  Know your high tide times, (high tide is an hour later on the bay/marsh side of the island), low-lying areas, be careful where you park and leave your vehicle, don't drive through flood waters and you might want to keep the wellies by the door.
Expect rain (heavy at times) along with very strong winds today.  Temps will be in the mid-upper 50s with SE winds shifting from the W-SW at 25-35mph +gusting.  At least 1-2" of rain is expected.  Tonight... decreasing rain as the clouds pull away.  Temps will be in the low-30s with N-NW winds at 20-30mph +gusting.  Tomorrow... partly sunny with lots of cloud cover in the mix, temps in the upper 40's / low 50s with gusty winds out of the N-NE at 20-30mph +gusting.  Monday... mostly sunny, upper 40s and NE winds at 20-25mph.  Ending on a good note... Mack's Pizza (4200 Boardwalk) opens this weekend!
