Turn Those Clocks Ahead Tonight

Mornin'!  It's 43° in Wildwood NJ.  It feels like 37° with those Easterly winds at 20-25mph.  It's gray and misty but no rain showers yet.  They're coming though... expect rain showers this morning (90% chance) with winds out of the E-SE at 20-30mph.  Temps will rise into the low-50s with E-SE winds at 20-30mph all day into the evening.  In fact, tonight the winds will shift from the West at 25-35mph +gusting.  There's a 90% chance of rain tonight with temps in the low-mid 40s.  Tomorrow...  partly sunny / partly cloudy with temps in the upper 40s and West winds at 25-35mph +gusting.  Tomorrow night... partly clear, windy with W-NW winds at 25-35mph +gusting and temps in the low-40s.  Monday... partly clear, temps around 50° with winds still doing their March thing at 25-35mph.  Strap in!  Yesterday I mentioned those St. Patty's revelers.. oops, that's not until next weekend. But there are plenty of visiting folks here as the weekends always seem more inhabited this time of year. I'm sure that will be true next weekend big time.  And, speaking of weekends, next weekend  doesn't look too promising but I'm not a fan of weather being accurate a whole week away.  Remains to be seen.  Here's some reminders... before turning in tonight, turn the clocks forward an hour.  Tomorrow's sunrise and sunset will be looking later than normal.  We don't seem to be getting the rain as heavy as first forecasted today.  The big City and the Jersey towns (Millville, Vineland etc) seem to be getting more of a direct hit with heavy, steady rainfall. Nevertheless, be aware of the high tide times and remember the back of the island (marsh, bayside) is an hour later  for high tides than the ocean side.  Know your low-lying areas; especially where you park and don't drive through flood waters.  Be safe and see you on Daylight Saving's Time!
High Tides: 6:27AM and 6:52PM
Low Tide: 12:48PM
Ocean Temp: 44°
Sunrise: 6:19AM
Sunset: 6:00PM
