Gray - Wet Friday

Mornin'!  It's 41° in Wildwood NJ.  It's cloudy (currently a very low ceiling) creating the ocean's roar to be extremely loud.  No rain coming down at the moment but there's rain all around us according to the doppler.  There's 100% chance that it'll rain this morning with temps going up a few degrees into the mid-40s.  Winds are out of the East at 10-15mph and will shift direction to the SW at 10-20mph later today.  Tonight... partly cloudy, temps in the upper 30s and W-NW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... partly sunny / partly cloudy with temps in the low-mid 40s and W-NW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow night... partly cloudy, temps in the low-30s and winds light and variable.  Sunday... still keeping an eye on a potential winter storm (a Nor'easter) with rain likely (95% chance), temps in the upper 30s and NE winds at 15-25mph. Sunday night... snow begins, temps around 30° with N-NE winds at 20-30mph and the possibility of 3-6 inches of the white stuff accumulating.  Monday... blustery snow showers, temps in the mid-30s and NW winds at 20-30mph.  Snow accumulations around an inch.  Monday night... cloudy with partial clearing into the overnight, temps in the upper 20s and NW winds at 15-25mph.  These still are early predictions and anything could change with this Nor'easter.  I'll keep watching that's for sure.
High Tide: 9:13AM
Low Tide: 3:25PM
Ocean Temp: 35.4°
Sunrise: 6:44AM
Sunset: 5:42PM
FOOTNOTE (10:30AM): It's been raining for over an hour and it's coming down at a good clip.  It's currently high tide on the bay/marsh side of the island and as I left the island and just returned, lots of island/street flooding going on. The tide is actually jaw-dropping along the marsh as it's currently a lake with no marsh grasses showing at all!  I saw a lot of hydro-planing by drivers.  Take note of those low-lying areas on the island and do your best to NOT drive through the flood waters.  It's salty and extremely corrosive for the undercarriage of your vehicle.  Also, I just checked this Nor'easter's progress and I'm still seeing snow beginning Sunday night, into the overnight and continuing through Monday until 3pm.  3-5" is likely.
