Mostly Cloudy Hump Day

Webcam Shot this Morning - High Tide at the Marsh  
Mornin'!  It's 53° in Wildwood NJ.  It's partly cloudy with light winds out of the SE at 2-4mph.  Upon waking this morning, an orange/red glow was peeking in the windows as Ms Sun was rising.  The sky was bright crimson over the ocean.  My first thoughts... "red sky in the morning, sailors take warning".  Stormy weather-is-a-coming!  Expect a partly to mostly cloudy day with temps in the low-60s and light SE breezes increasing to 10-20mph.  Tonight... the storm will be on our doorstep with 90% chance of rain starting between 7-9pm, temps around 50° and SE winds at 10-20mph.  We could see locally heavy rainfall with this storm system.  Keep in mind, the tides are higher than normal due to the upcoming full moon (Friday) and with heavy rain during the high tide times (which will be tonight), know you're low-lying areas that will potentially flood.  If necessary, move your vehicle to higher ground, don't drive through flood waters and be aware of flood sirens that could sound during the rainfall and high tide times.  Also, remember that the back bay/marsh area will be high tide an hour later than the ocean's high tide.  Tomorrow... 20% chance of rain kicking off the day followed by afternoon sunshine, temps in the low-60s and W-NW winds at 10-20mph. Tomorrow night... clear, temps in the upper 40s with NW winds at 10-15mph.  Friday... sunny, temps around 60°, NW winds shifting to the S-SW at 10-15mph.  As for this weekend.  Saturday... cloudy with 60% chance of rain, temps in the mid-50s and North winds at 5-10mph.  Saturday night... 50% chance of rain.  Sunday... sunny, temps in the upper 50s with NW winds at 10-20mph.
