Significant Coastal Storm Has Wildwood In Its Sights

Wildwood's Dog Park

Mornin'!  It's 57° in Wildwood NJ.  We're under cloudy skies with light winds out of the East at 4-7mph.  Humidity and dewpoints are low. We've got a Nor'easter heading this way.  But, I'll get to that.  For today, it'll be mostly cloudy (there's a chance of peeks of sun but that remains to be seen) with temps in the low-60s and E-SE winds at 10-20mph.  Tonight... cloudy with temps in the upper 50s and E-SE winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... cloudy with 25% chance of rain, temps in the upper 60s and East winds at 15-25mph.  Tomorrow night... things begin to ramp up as this stupid Nor'easter checks in with rain and serious winds.  There's a 50% chance of rainfall, temps in the mid-60s and E-NE winds at 25-35mph +gusting to over 40mph.  Sunday... rain and wind, temps in the upper 60s and NE winds at 25-40mph +gusting.  Sunday  night... windy with rain (80% chance), temps in the upper 50s and NE winds at 25-40mph +gusting. Monday...  cloudy and windy with period of rain (90% chance), potential for heavy rain, temps in the upper 60s and N-NE winds at 25-35mph +gusting. Monday night... windy with light rain (70% chance), temps in the upper 50s and North winds at 20-30mph +gusting. This strong coastal storm is developing off the Southeast coast and is threatening our coast this weekend.  It'll churn up the ocean and create coastal flooding with pounding rain and winds from Washington DC to New York and we're smack in the middle of it all. Prepare for flooding in Wildwood anywhere from moderate to major flooding on the island.  The winds will be strong and damaging with major beach erosion and very dangerous marine conditions.  Please take heed and be careful.  Know your high tide times and where the low and high lying areas are on the island.  Remember that the backside (bay/marsh side) high tide times are always an hour later than the ocean's high tide times. Move your vehicle from flood-prone areas.  Do Not drive through flood waters; especially creating "wakes" that provide a huge thrust of sea water onto others' properties (in some cases into the first level or garages of homes).  Secure all outdoor items. Have your electronics charged. Stay safe and don't take any stupid, thoughtless chances.
