Kinda Wet This Weekend

Mornin'!  It's 67° in Wildwood NJ.  We're in the midst of a light rain shower at the moment.  Lots of cloud cover out there but there are some clear spots in the morning sky too.  Ms Sun's really trying to break through and shine.  It's very bright and almost sunny outside.  It's a mild, calm, expressive kind of morning.  The clouds are insulating the island creating the sounds pitter-patter of rain,  the surf (6+ blocks away) crashing and the birds (especially the seagulls screeching, laughing and chirping) who are making their presence known in what seems like all the neighborhoods.  I can even hear ducks quacking from the harbor.  Then, there are the distant (some not so distant) sounds of visiting vehicles (old jalopies and motorcycles) with their loud (show off) engines revving at every intersection. In fact, that's what woke me. There's a lot going on this weekend as the island hosts an array of boisterous events.  I guess that would include the Wildwood Beer Festival as well as the Summer Mummer's parade.
Today's cloud cover will provide an 80% chance of showers and/or thunderstorms throughout the day and into tonight.  Temps will get up into the mid 70s and winds will wift (waft) in from the South at 5-10mph.  Tonight...more showers (60% chance) and/or patchy fog with temps dropping down to the low 60s and Southerly breezes at 4-6mph. Tomorrow will have less of a chance of the wet stuff (25-50% chance) as showers will be more sporadic but it'll be breezier. Sorry about the crapola weekend weather forecast but don't let it stop you.  Let's all pray that this repeated weekend weather pattern turns around sooner than later.  Afterall, summer's only 12 days away!
High tide:5:06p.m.
Low tide:10:39a.m.
Ocean temp:65°

would love to drive one of those jalopies on the beach - they are awesome, except for the noise!
