Full Moon - May Day

Mornin'!  It's 49° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's up and shining brightly in the cloudless sky.  Winds are light out of the N-NW at 5-10mph.  It's a chilly but lovely morning down the Shore and perfect as we welcome May!  Happy May Day!  It'll be lovely with plentiful sunshine, temps near 60° and on the windy side with NW winds shifting to the S-SW at 10-20mph.  Tonight... 40% chance of rain as clouds will filter in and provide occasional showers into the overnight, temps in the upper 40s with S-SW winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... cloudy with a slight chance of a rain shower (15% chance), temps in the upper 50s and NW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow night... mostly clear, temps in the mid-upper 40s and N-NW winds at 10-15mph.  Sunday... plentiful sunshine, temps in the upper 50s and NW winds at 15-25mph.  Sunday night... a few clouds passing through, temps in the upper 40s and W-SW winds at 10-15mph.  The Full "Flower" Moon is tonight and the first of two Full Moons this month (the other is May 31st).  These two May Full Moons are considered "micromoons" or an apogee full moon.  They occur when the full moon coincides with the point in its orbit that is farthest from Earth.  It'll appear 14% smaller and 30% dimmer than usual full moons.  Hopefully, tonight's clouds won't interfere with that Full "Flower" Moon.
