Wet National Lighthouse Day


Hereford Lighthouse, North Wildwood 
Mornin'!  It's National Lighthouse Day! It's 71° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 97% with a dewpoint of 72°.  It's raining lightly at the moment with S-SW breezes at 5-7mph.  We began having rain showers late last night and has been coming down throughout the overnight.  We've got that thick, cloudy humidity outside as well as throughout the house this morning. It's looking like a stretch of wet weather with lots of dampness ahead.  Today it'll be mostly cloudy with light rain on the menu throughout the entire day and evening (70% chance).  Temps will be in the mid-70s with SE winds at 10-20mph.  Tonight's temps... upper 60s with E-NE winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... light rain early, remaining cloudy with more showers in the afternoon (70% chance), temps in the mid-upper 70s and East winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow night... 30% chance of rain with temps in the mid-70s and E-SE winds at 10-15mph.  Friday... very windy with showers off and on throughout the day (70% chance), temps in the upper 70s and S-SE winds at 25-35mph +gusting.  Friday night... steady rain and windy with showers continuing late (70% chance), temps in the low-70s and SW winds at 25-35mph. Saturday... things start to clear out as we'll see some peeks of sunshine, temps in the low-80s and West winds at 10-20mph.  Saturday night... clear, temps around 70° and W-SW winds at 5-10mph.  Sunday's a keeper!  We'll no doubt see some tidal/coastal flooding with this rain system.  Know your low-lying areas and high tide times.  Watch where you park your vehicle and don't drive through flood waters.  Be safe!
