A Crapola Friday

Mornin'!  It's 53° in Wildwood NJ.  It's wet, windy and wild outside this morning.  We're under heavy cloud cover as we had thunder-boomers during the night and early morning with lightning and thunder, as well as short bursts of heavy rain and strong winds.  It's not raining at the moment, but the strong winds out of the E-NE at 20-25mph +gusting are steam rolling over us and seem to have dried things up a bit as the street is barely wet.  These winds are strong and loud as they've been keeping me awake since very early this morning and will be continuing like this all throughout the day.  Expect clouds and strong winds (E-NE at 25-35mph +gusting) with temps in the mid-upper 50s.  Showers are on tap this afternoon (50% chance).  Tonight... there's a Coastal Flood Warning posted (8pm-4am) due to that "New Moon" earlier this week and the wind-driven waters surrounding us.  It'll be cloudy with gusty winds, 25% chance of rain showers, temps in the upper 40s and NE winds at 20-30mph +gusting.  Tomorrow... partly sunny, temps in the upper 50s and E-NE winds much calmer at 10-15mph.  Sunday... rain (60% chance), temps in the upper 50s and SE at 10-15mph.  As for that Coastal Flood Warning... be aware of the high tide times, low-lying areas on the island, and what parts of the island are susceptible to flooding. And remember that the back of the island (marsh-bay side) has high tide an hour later than the ocean's high tide.  Be safe!
High Tides: 10:00AM and 10:21PM
Low Tide: 3:48PM
Ocean Temp: 57°
Sunrise: 5:50AM
Sunset: 8:01PM
