Somewhat Cloudy Thursday

The "Ghost Tracks" along Delaware Bay  

Mornin'!  It's 75° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 89% with a dewpoint of 71°.  Winds are out of the S-SE at 5-10mph.  Ms Sun's up and making it through most of the milky clouds along the horizon.  It's almost the Full Moon (tonight around midnight).  In fact, if the skies cooperate that is as we may have cloud cover tonight, we could see a partial lunar eclipse around 10:30PM tonight.  The Moon will pass into the shadow of the Earth creating a partial eclipse.  When the Moon moves through the Earth's darkest part of the shadow (the "umbra"), it causes a partial eclipse turning the Moon a dark, reddish color.  The previous eclipse was 8/16/08 and the next one takes place 9/7/44.
As for today's weather, it'll be partly to mostly cloudy with a stray shower or thunderstorm possible (15% chance).  Temps will be around 80° with S-SE winds at 10-20mph (pack a bungee for that beach umbrella).  Tonight... considerably cloudy, temps in the low-70s and S-SW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... 50% chance of rain, temps in the upper 70s and light and variable winds.  Tomorrow night... overcast, temps in the low-70s and N-NW winds at 5-10mph.  Chance of rain is 20%.  As for this weekend... Saturday looks partly to mostly cloudy, temps in the upper 70s and E-NE winds at 10-15mph.  Saturday night... partly cloudy, tmeps in the low-70s and E-SE winds at 5-10mph.  Sunday... mostly sunny, temps around 80° with S-SE winds at 10-15mph.  Sunday night... clear, temps in the low-70s and S-SW winds at 10-15mph.
