Code Orange Air Alert Posted

Mornin'!  It's 75° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 81% with a dewpoint of 69°.  Breezes are barely there out of the SE at 2-4mph.  It's cloudy and it's raining lightly.  You can barely feel it but I can hear it lightly tapping on my porch canvas awnings.  Lots of folk here this morning as indicated by the lack of parking spaces available in my neighborhood.  I'm guessing it's in every neighborhood on the island too; after all, it's the weekend.  An "Air Quality Alert" remains posted for today.  It's unhealthy air for those with respiratory issues so limit outdoor, strenuous activity again.  We could see on and off rain showers the first half of the day (25% chance) but there's a 70% chance of rain with periods of heavy rain, stiff winds and even the possibility of strong thunderstorms late this afternoon.  Keep your eye on the sky as you know that Cape May Bubble sometimes is in effect and gives us clear skies when everyone around us is getting rain.  Temps will be in the low-mid 80s with South winds at 15-25mph.  Tonight... rain (60% chance) with possible stormy conditions will give way to mostly cloudy skies after midnight.  Temps will be in the mid-70s and stiff W-SW winds at 15-25mph. Tomorrow... starting out a bit on the cloudy side with sunny skies coming in later in the morning, temps in the mid-80s and NW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow night... clear, temps in the upper 60s with North winds at 5-10mph.  Monday... perfection as we'll have plentiful sunshine, temps around 80° with East winds at 5-10mph.
