A Couple Ugly Days Ahead

Mornin'!  It's 69° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 100% with a dewpoint of 70° and winds out of the East at 10-15mph.  We're socked in with some major moisture this morning.  No sunshine; just a damp, ominous, dark, juicy morning.  Nothing on Debby yet, but she's coming.  Expect a steady, light rain to commence any time now with showers continuing into this afternoon (60% chance).  Temps will be in the upper 70s with East winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight, cloudy with showers (40% chance), temps in the low-mid 70s and SE winds ramping up at 10-20mph w/gusting.  Tomorrow... windy with isolated rain showers and/or thunderstorms (70% chance) with rain continuing into the evening (90% chance).  Tomorrow's temps will be in the upper 70s with S-SE winds at 25-35mph +gusting.  Saturday, things begin to settle down as we'll have partly sunny conditions with a few passing clouds, temps in the low-80s and W-NW winds at 10-15mph.  Saturday night... mostly clear, temps in the upper 60s and NW winds at 5-10mph.  Sunday... partly sunny, temps near 80°, West winds at 5-10mph.  So, it looks like tomorrow will be the stormiest of the days ahead.  Prepare accordingly.  You might want to clear gutters, put umbrellas down, secure trashcans, planters, furniture etc.  Know your low-lying areas and high tide times.  Don't drive through flood waters.  You know the drill.  Oh, today's rip currents are "high risk".  Even though it's not anything near a beach day, do not enter the surf as rip currents will be life-threatening and very dangerous.  Take heed.
