Between council meetings and ever-stressful Yankees-Mets games this week, a breath of fresh air was warranted. A few minutes just after sunset overlooking the Mantoloking Bridge was just what the day ordered, and nature delivered. We shot a quick two-minute video, which is embedded above. A few still photos are underneath.
Meanwhile, weather in the Shore are is not going to be so perfect come Wednesday. According to the National Weather Service forecast, there will be a chance of showers and thunderstorms before 2 p.m., then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm between 2-5 p.m., then another chance of showers and thunderstorms in the evening. In between storms, it will be partly sunny, with a high near 75. About a quarter-inch of rain is expected to fall – a bit more in areas that receive thunderstorms.
A chance of showers will continue through much of the night Wednesday into Thursday, though skies will clear in the morning and sunny conditions are expected with a high of 80 degrees.
Friday will bring a chance of showers – then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm after 2 p.m. It will otherwise be mostly cloudy, with a high near 77.
