Sunday Mix of Sun and Clouds

Mornin'!  It's 69° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 86% with a dewpoint of 66°.  Winds are out of the E-NE at 10-20mph.  Ms Sun just rose over the horizon along the ocean.  There are some clouds in the sky this morning and she'll soon be painting the sky beautifully as she never fails to do.  We're going to have a  Sunday mix of sun and clouds with temps in the mid-70s and E-NE winds ramping up even more at 15-25mph +gusting.  Tonight... partly clear moonlit night becoming cloudy late after midnight, temps will drop into the mid-60s with E-NE winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... mostly cloudy with peeks of sunshine, temps in the low-70s and E-NE winds at 15-25mph +gusting.  Tomorrow night... cloudy, temps around 70° with E-NE winds at 15-20mph.  Tuesday... begins a stretch of rainy weather lasting throughout the entire week leading up to next weekend.  It'll be a perfectly miserable day with 70% chance of rain, heavy rainfall is a big possibility at times, temps in the mid-70s and very windy with E-NE winds at 20-30mph +gusting.  Tuesday night... rain, temps in the low-70s with East winds at 10-20mph.  The Full Moon is Tuesday and with this "heavy rainfall" in the forecast, there could be a very serious potential for coastal flooding as the Full Moon (and New Moon) bring much higher than normal tides.  If it's down-pouring rain during the high tide cycle, no doubt we'll see street flooding.   If here vacationing this coming week, I truly hate to be the bearer of bad new but this week looks like your focus should be on knowing your low-lying areas on the island as well as high tide times as it could be very, floody. Be aware of where you park and drive as well as where you'll be spending your "wet" week here. You'll have to adjust to that "alternative plan" mode.
