Blue Super "Full" Moon Today

Mornin'!  Happy Monday! It's 71° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 99% with a dewpoint of 70°.  Breezes are out of the W-NW at 2-4mph.  And, Ms Sun's up but behind clouds this morning.  It'll be a partly to mostly cloudy morning, giving way to showers later this afternoon (40% chance).  Temps will be around 80° with winds will be out of the West at 5-10mph.  Tonight... 50% chance of rain with clearing overnight, temps in the mid-60s and NW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... mostly sunny, temps in the mid-70s and NW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow night... clear, temps around 60° with NW winds at 10-15mph.  It's the Super Blue Full Moon today.  It'll seem full for 3 days.  It makes the tides higher than normal and if we do get any heavy sudden downpours during high tide times, the island will be sure to flood.  Be aware of high tide times, know your low-lying areas on the island, don't drive through flood waters.  
High Tides: 7:45AM and 8:10PM
Low Tide: 1:46PM
Ocean Temp: 73°
Sunrise: 6:16AM
Sunset: 7:47PM
Moonrise: 8:07PM
UV Index: 7.4
Rip Current: High Risk (dangerous rip currents... do not go into the ocean with a Lifeguard present)
UPDATE: We never had rain in Wildwood today.  Just blue skies and sunshine.  It was a warm one but no clouds, rain showers or thunderstorms.  It's 6pm.

Kathy - Should we expect green head flies at the beach today ?

Sorry, I didn't see your comment until the day was almost over. And, I forgot to mention those "West" winds at the beach today being the provider of those biting green head flies. I didn't go to the beach today. I haven't an answer other than... whenever there's "west" in the wind direction, especially if it's only "West" winds on the weather forecasts, you can almost count on the flies being there biting. I'm never without my insect repellent on the beach.
