So.....after three days of zero rain and great weather but VERY windy (forecast was for windy and occasional showers)

Wednesday was mostly a bust with rain periods of sun which lured you onto a beach and then significant downpours..sideways heavy rain. The afternoon was basically a washout with more significant rain into the evening (forecast was for windy and occasional showers)

Last night there was significant rain almost continuous and this am it is still raining on and off but the sky is ominous everywhere. Road in front of the Atrium is almost impassable with only one side that only has close to a foot of water that is passable. Forget the Atrium side of the road . (forecast was/is windy and occasional rain)

Soooo...forecast never changes so what's the point? I refer to meteosxm.com but weather.com is about the same

Yesterday was weird. It rained everywhere we went except our brief time in Oyster Pond. While in Phillipsburg it was just frequent short bursts of rain which was no big deal. At Buccaneer it came down quite hard a few times. At Orient it absolutely poured (sometimes sideways). I know Orient is always windy but even GP at La Playa said it was exceptionally sh*tty weather for the area, or something along those lines.
I’d be happy with a pool day if this wind calms enough to keep the chairs in place.
