Wet Hump Day

Mornin'!  It's 58° in Wildwood NJ.  It's mostly cloudy with some cloud breaks along the horizon as Ms Sun's rising.  The sky right above the water line is orange-red.  I keep thinking that old adage... "Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning" which is a sign of approaching bad, stormy weather.   I wish I could have bottled the weather from my Georgia/Florida vacation (blue skies, light breezes and 83°) but it's looking like wet "sweater weather" up ahead here in the Northeast.  Expect periods of rain today with temps barely tapping 60°.  Breezes will be out of the E-SE at 20-30mph.  Chance of rain is 100%.  Tonight... rain becoming heavy overnight, temps in the upper 50s and E-NE winds at 20-30mph +gusting.  Tomorrow... mostly cloudy with 25% chance of rain, temps in the low-60s and N-NW winds at 10-20mph +gusting.  Tomorrow night... 25% chance of rain, temps in the upper 50s and W-NW winds at 10-15mph.  Friday... cloudy early, followed by partial clearing, temps in the upper 60s and West winds at 15-25mph.  Friday night... partly cloudy, temps around 55° and W-NW winds at 10-20mph.  As for Memorial Weekend coming up (not so bad)... Saturday... partly sunny, temps in the upper 60s and W-NW winds at 15-25mph +gusting.  Saturday night... mostly clear, temps in the mid-50s and NW winds at 10-20mph.  Sunday... sunny, temps in the upper 60s and W-NW winds at 10-20mph.  Sunday night... mostly clear, temps in the upper 50s and NW winds at 5-10mph.  Monday... 40% chance of rain later in the day, temps in the upper 60s and S-SW winds at 10-15mph.  Monday night... cloudy with occasional showers (40% chance), temps in the upper 50s and S-SE winds at 10-15mph.  Whatever the weather... it's good to be home!

It's time for my Spring Blog hiatus as I'll be enjoying the company of  my daughter for her birthday and of course Mother's Day as well as checking in with old friends for a bit.  If you need Wildwood Weather... click on Weather - Wunderground on my blog page and type in our zip code (08260) or simply type Wildwood NJ and you'll get the most accurate weather out there (in my opinion).  Everything else you need is there too... Events Calendar, Tides,  Moon Chart (the Full Moon is Monday the 12th and it rises at 8:28pm), Webcams, Morey's Info etc.  It's looking like I'll be back blogging my daily weather reports somewhere in the 3rd week of May.  Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there! See ya on the other side!

A Little Of This And That Today

This Morning's Webcam Shot - North WW

Mornin'!  It's 60° in Wildwood NJ.  It's gray and wet with winds out of the S-SE at 9-11mph.  We had those ol' thunder boomers during the overnight and early morning giving us some torrential rainfall.  Everything's watered!  The storm clouds have moved out to sea.  Right now it's just cloudy and damp with seagulls laughing and squawking in every single neighborhood on the island.  I think they're mating.  They're very loud when doing the deed.  As for weather... we're going to have clouds and possibly fog early, then becoming partly cloudy with partial clearing and peeks of sunshine by dinner time.  There's is a 20% chance of a rain shower today.  Temps will be in the mid-60s with South winds at 10-20mph.  Tonight... clear, temps in the mid-upper 50s and SW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow...  partly sunny, temps in the upper 60s and W-SW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow night... partly cloudy, temps around 60° with light SW winds at 4-6mph.

Cinco de Mayo

Our Sweet Freddy

Mornin'!  Happy Cinco de Mayo!  Cinco de Mayo is observed annually (widely in the US) and is associated with the celebration of Mexican-American cultures since 1862.  It was actually the "Battle Of Puebla" that's celebrated on this date with Mexico's much smaller Army victorious over the powerful French forces at that battle on May 5th 1862. 
Back to the weather in Wildwood... it's raining, temp is 59°, winds are out of the East at 5-10mph.  The clouds are thick and insulating the sounds of the waves crashing the shore 6+ blocks away from my home.  I don't always hear the ocean's roar and it's nice when that's the sounds waking me in the morning.  This morning rain will give way to fog and more rain this afternoon (90% chance).  Temps will stay around the low-60s with E-SE winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... foggy and rainy (50% chance), temps in the upper 50s and SE winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... morning fog, mostly cloudy day, 20% chance of rain, temps in the mid-60s and Southerly winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow night... partly cloudy, temps around 60°, S-SW at 6-9mph.  Wednesday... intervals of sun and clouds, temps in the mid-upper 60s and West winds at 5-10mph.
