Unsettled Weather Ahead For A Few Days

This Morning's Webcam Shot - North WW

Mornin'!  It's 71° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 86% with a dewpoint of 66°.  Breezes are out of the South at 6-8mph.  And, Ms Sun has risen over the horizon but is currently blocked by cloud cover.  She's trying to shine through but the clouds seem to winning this one at the moment.  We're going to definitely see sunshine this morning but the grayness and clouds will be tagging along.  Expect a partly sunny start to the day with temps near 80° and S-SE winds at 10-15mph.  By late this morning / early afternoon it'll become cloudy.  Tonight... cloudy, thunderstorms developing late in the evening (85% chance) with temps around 70° with S-SE winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... scattered showers and/or thunderstorms especially early in the day, some storms could contain strong gusty winds, temps in the upper 70s with S-SE winds at 10-20mph.  Chance of rain tomorrow is 50%.  Tomorrow night... still 50% chance of rain, temps in the low-70s with S-SE winds at 10-20mph.  Monday... partly cloudy skies, 25% chance of rain, temps near 80° and W-SW winds at 10-15mph.  Monday night... partly cloudy, 25% chance of rain, temps in the upper 60s with W-NW winds at 10-15mph.  Monday is the Full Moon.  We could see some storms this weekend and the probability for high, very rough, dangerous surf (due to the remnants of Hurricane Ernesto), possibly even tidal floods during the high tide times if we get those thunderstorms so be aware of your surroundings.  Don't drive through flood waters and be aware of the high tide times and low-lying areas on the island.
High Tide: 6:32PM
Low Tide: 12:00PM
Ocean Temp: 73°

Rip Current: High Risk - dangerous life-threatening rip currents are likely in the ocean today.  Only swim in front of a lifeguard is it's okay with them.  Never swim alone or at night.  Even experienced surfers should be aware of this event (which no doubt they are already).
