Mornin'!  It's 33° in Wildwood NJ.  It's mostly clear except for a string of thick clouds along the horizon.  They're preventing a bright, warm sunrise as Ms Sun's on her way any moment.  Winds are out of the N-NW at 10-15mph making it feel more like 29°.  Spring's only 2 days away but Winter's not loosening its grasp yet.  It'll be a pleasant day though with plentiful sunshine and temps in the mid-50s along with North winds at 10-20mph giving us a colder feel.  Tonight... clear sky, temps around 40° and very light and variable winds.  Tomorrow... the last day of Spring will pretty much a repeat of today with much calmer winds out of the East at 5-10mph.  Temps will be in the mid-50s again.

St. Patrick's Day

Mornin'!  Happy St. Patrick's Day!  It's 52° in Wildwood NJ.  It's raining lightly.  Winds are light out of the NW at 5-10mph.  We were hit hard with wind-driven heavy rains along with stormy thunder and lightning beginning last night lasting into the overnight.  Thankfully, no storm damage from the winds or rise in the waters that were surrounding us.  It seems we're calm as we recover with my street filled with water just along the curbs and some debris (small tree branches and trash) here and there.  It'll be a mostly cloudy day with 95% chance of rain throughout the rest of the morning. We might see peeks of sunshine later this afternoon.  Temps will be in the mid-50s with NW winds at 10-20mph.  Tonight... partly cloudy, temps dropping into the mid-30s and N-NW winds at 15-25mph.  It'll feel cold.  Tomorrow... sunshine is back! Expect a sunny Tuesday with temps in the mid-50s and N-NW wind at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow night... clear, upper 40s and NW winds at 5-10mph.
