The Nor'easter Has Landed

Mornin'!  It's 61° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 87% with a dewpoint of 58°.  It's raining lightly with NE winds at 25-30mph +gusting. We sure have some weather happening this morning!  There are alerts, warnings and advisories all over the place.  There's a "Gale Warning" posted until Friday morning.  There's a high surf and coastal flood warning in effect until Saturday.  There's also a high rip current risk posted.  
As for today's weather... It's currently raining lightly with very windy conditions.  There's a 50% chance of rain throughout the day with cloudy conditions and possible peeks of sunshine this afternoon. These winds aren't checking out until Monday.  Forget about the hair.  More importantly, hunker down and if you have anything that can be blown away or blown down, it's never too late to "secure your stuff" outside for any flying debris and objects.  Today's temps will be in the upper 60s with NE winds at 25-35mph +gusting.  Tonight... overcast and windy.  Temps will be in the low-60s with NE winds at 25-25mph +gusting.  Stay aware of "High Tide" times. And, always remember that the back of the island (marsh-side) has high tide one hour later than the ocean side.  Know your low-lying areas on the island.  Move your vehicle from those areas. Avoid driving through any flood waters (very damaging to the underside of your vehicle).  Tomorrow... gray and windy, temps in the mid-60s and NE winds at 25-35mph +gusting.  Coastal flooding is still very possible due to the wind-driven waters. Tomorrow night... cloudy and windy, temps in the upper 50s with N-NE winds at 20-30mph.  Coastal flooding possible at high tide times.  Friday... overcast and windy, temps in the upper 60s with N-NE winds at 25-35mph +gusting.  Island flooding possible during high tide times.  Friday night... decreasing cloudiness, still windy with North winds at 20-30mph, temps in the upper 50s.  Coastal flooding still a concern at high tide times.  As for this "Full Moon" weekend, Saturday has a 25% chance of rain, temps in the mid-60s and N-NW winds at 20-30mph.  Coastal flooding a concern.  Saturday night... partly cloudy, temps around 60° and N-NW winds at 15-25mph.  Coastal flooding possible.  Sunday... mostly cloudy, temps in the upper 60s and NW winds at 15-25mph.  Sunday night... mostly cloudy, temps around 60° and NW winds at 10-20mph.
