Happy Autumn!

Mornin'!  Happy Autumn!  It's 50° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's up and shining on the island.  Breezes have simmered down out of the N-NW at 9-11mph.  Fall is expressing its incredibly lovely self this morning down the Shore.  There is something very beautiful about Autumn... in the paraphrased words of Albert Camus "it's when every leaf is a flower" (thanks Jim).  Speaking of which, the leaves have begun turning and doing their spectacular metamorphosis for this lovely season we're now in.  The incredible beach erosion in North Wildwood has hit hard these last few days.  The autumn skies and in particular "sunrises and sunsets" are back and breathtaking as always.  Expect a perfect Fall day today as Ms Sun shines in a vivid blue sky, temps reach 70° and NW winds wift (waft) across the island at 10-20mph.  Tonight... clear sky, low of 57°, W-NW winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... sunny, 77° and W-NW winds at 10-20mph.  I love that Autumn is here again.  90 days until the Winter Solstice!

Last Day Of Summer

Mornin'!  The Last Day of Summer has arrived!  It's 51° in Wildwood NJ.  We're under mostly clear skies at the moment.  Breezes are out of the N-NE at 15-20mph.  Hurricane Teddy is creating havoc on the eastern seaboard and our South Jersey coast is no exception.  Lots of major rough surf and beach erosion happening as of late.  Expect some more real windy conditions today with those NE winds battering our coast even more at 20-30mph +gusting.  We're going to have a mix of clouds and sun and high of 65°.  Tonight... mainly clear, 50° and North winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... the first of of Autumn will be sunny with a high of 71°!  Hopefully, we'll all see you on the other side Summer!

"Good Year" - Happy Rosh Hashanah - Last Friday of Summer

Mornin'!  It's 67° in soggy Wildwood NJ this last Friday of summer.  Happy start to the Jewish New Year!  It rained beginning yesterday afternoon throughout the night and we're nicely watered.  It's not raining now but we're cloud covered with gray skies.  It's damp outside with breezes very light out of the North at 4-6mph.  The clouds look like they'll be staying checked in today.  There's a chance of rain before 10am.  Expect a cloudy day with temps just tapping 70°.  Those North winds are going to ramp up out at 10-15mph +gusting of 25mph and will switch to the N-NE.  Tonight... lots of cloud cover with temps dropping into the low-mid 50s and those N-NE winds at 15-25mph.  Tomorrow... Ms Sun will be doing all she can to peek through the cloud cover with temps in the mid-60s and you guessed it... N-NE winds at 15-25mph.  Sunday... mostly sunny and still breezy.

New Moon Thursday

Mornin'!  Blog's a bit late as I had to do some errands and it must be done very early in the morning to avoid the COVID crowd.  I'd much rather shop with no one 6 inches away from me.  Even with it being after Labor Day and island inhabitants normally becoming almost non-existent, my guess (and it's been my guess since the beginning of August) that anyone with no reason to return to their homes, are staying down the Shore.  It's much busier than normal here... thus, the COVID crowd.  We've still got to share with the extra people that are here in their second homes and of course those "off-season" vacationers.  It's 73° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 79% with a dewpoint of 67°.  Breezes are out of the W-SW at 4-6mph.  It's hazy and partly cloudy.  Ms Sun's trying to shine through the haze.  I'm assuming it's that wildfire smoky haze we're still getting.  But, she's definitely trying to shine but will be giving up soon as the cloud cover will take over the skies this morning. There's a 50% chance of rain today.  Temps will be in the mid-upper 70s with S-SW winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... 90% chance of rain, temps in the mid-60s and S-SE winds shifting to the NE at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... more rain (80% chance) with clouds in the afternoon, temps tapping 70° and N-NE winds ramping up big time at 15-25mph +gusting.  We're going to be feeling the effects of Sally that's for sure.  The weekend... Saturday is partly sunny and very windy and Sunday is partly cloudy and windy.  Yep... it's probably Sally.  Oh... I almost forgot to mention that it's the New Moon today.  The Tides will be reacting to that moon just like it was the Full Moon and we're going to have much higher than normal tides.  With this upcoming rainfall... be cognizant of where you're driving and parking your vehicle.  I'm almost positive we're going to have Tidal flooding.

Hump Day Haze

Mornin'!  It's 58° in Wildwood NJ.  It's hazy and after posting my blog yesterday, I found out that the haze we're having isn't  from the heat and humidity but from the California / Oregon / Washington fires.  It's clear with no clouds in the sky however, Ms Sun is in a heavy haze as she rises this morning.  Breezes are out of the SE at 2-4mph.  It'll be partly cloudy (hazy?) today with a high of 73° with breezes out of the S-SE at 5-10mph.  Tonight... clear (hazy?) with a few passing clouds and temps in the low-mid 60s with S-SW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... cloudy, a high of 76° and Southerly breezes at 10-15mph. At this time, the weekend's looking cloudy and very windy.
