A Beauty On Tap Today

Mornin'!  I'm back! I had a lovely, fun, few days with friends in Schuylkill Haven Pennsylvania. Waking every morning to deer grazing in the woods surrounding their home never gets old.  I took a hiatus from the salty air to take in and enjoy the piney, still bare woodlands. As always, it's lovely when returning to the coast and the beauty it offers. 
It's 42° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's up and shining brightly over the ocean's horizon without a cloud in the sky.  Winds are out of the NW at 9-13mph making it feel more like 37°.   It'll be a lovely Spring day with plenty of sunshine, temps near 60° and W-NW winds at 10-20mph.  Tonight... clear, temps in the mid-40s and SW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... starting out sunny becoming partly cloudy with gusty winds in the afternoon, temps near 60° with South winds at 20-30mph.  Tomorrow night... partly cloudy, temps in the mid-50s with Southerly winds at 20-25mph.  As for this weekend... Saturday... a mix of sun and clouds, temps near 70° with SW winds at 15-25mph.  Saturday night... partly cloudy, temps in the upper 50s and W-SW winds at 10-20mph.  Sunday... cloudy, temps around 60° and NW winds at 5-10mph.  Sunday night... partly cloudy, temps around 50° and NE winds at 5-10mph.

Full "Pink" Moon Saturday

Mornin'!  It's 40° in Wildwood NJ.  It feels like 31° with the North winds at 15-25mph.  It's still raining (lightly at the moment).  I regret to admit that I had to fire up the furnace last night.  I sincerely and naively thought that I could get away with not touching that "heat" button on the thermostat until next Autumn.  Wasn't happening.  These incredibly blustery winds and steady rainfall along with all the  dampness encapsulating the island off and on this entire past week triumphed with chilling me to the bone yesterday and last night.  This morning I'm much warmer as the furnace is doing its job while the rain and winds are happening as I blog.  Expect more rain this morning (70% chance), today's temps will be in the mid-40s and N-NW winds at 15-25mph.  This afternoon, the rain showers will be significantly less (only 20% chance).  Tonight... cloudy, doubtful of seeing that beautiful full moon, 20% chance of rain, temps in the low-40s and N-NW winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow...  starting out mostly to partly cloudy as we just might see peeks of sunshine, temps in the upper 50s and NW winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow night... a few clouds, temps in the mid-40s and NW winds at 10-15mph.  Monday... partly sunny, temps in the mid-50s and South winds at 10-15mph.  Monday night... 40% chance of scattered thunderstorms, becoming cloudy overnight, temps in the low-50s and S-SW winds at 10-15mph.  Tuesday... overcast and gray with the possibility of more rain (50% chance), temps around 60° with West winds whipping...15-25mph +gusting.  Tuesday night... mostly clear, temps in the mid-40s and W-NW winds at 15-25mph.  Wednesday... partly sunny / partly cloudy, temps in the low-50s with W-NW winds very blustery at 20-30mph +gusting.  I'm taking a bit of a break from blogging.  I'll see you Thursday!  The most accurate weather in my opinion is "Weather - Wunderground" under "My Personal Favs" on my Blog Page if you need to check in on Wildwood's or anyone's weather for that matter.
