Galloway Morning Report: Cloudy Weather and a Post-Sandy Roundtable

Thursday's weather promises to be cloudy and cooler with a small chance of showers, but it looks as if the weather should hold for the second of three open houses on the 14th Street Pier.

The Ocean City Fishing Club, celebrating its centennial year in 2013, invites folks to attend an open house 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday. The event gives anybody a chance to tour the pier, which is normally closed to the public.

The Thursday forecast calls for mostly cloudy skies with a high near 82 and a northeast wind around 16 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30 percent. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch are possible.

The northeast sea breeze usually brings warm water and cool air. The ocean temperature was down to 67 degrees by noon on Wednesday, but a steady onshore wind likely will push it back up over the magical 70-degree mark. Look for small and choppy surf.

High tide is at 10:13 a.m. at the ocean beaches on Thursday, and low tide at 4:19 p.m. 

The national nonprofit SCORE is hosting a roundtable 4 p.m. July 25 at Richard Stockton College's Carnegie Center in Atlantic City. The seminar provides advice for business owners who are seeking grants or loans available to help out small businesses recovering from Hurricane Sandy.
