Sunday Mix of Sun and Clouds

Mornin'!  It's 69° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 86% with a dewpoint of 66°.  Winds are out of the E-NE at 10-20mph.  Ms Sun just rose over the horizon along the ocean.  There are some clouds in the sky this morning and she'll soon be painting the sky beautifully as she never fails to do.  We're going to have a  Sunday mix of sun and clouds with temps in the mid-70s and E-NE winds ramping up even more at 15-25mph +gusting.  Tonight... partly clear moonlit night becoming cloudy late after midnight, temps will drop into the mid-60s with E-NE winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... mostly cloudy with peeks of sunshine, temps in the low-70s and E-NE winds at 15-25mph +gusting.  Tomorrow night... cloudy, temps around 70° with E-NE winds at 15-20mph.  Tuesday... begins a stretch of rainy weather lasting throughout the entire week leading up to next weekend.  It'll be a perfectly miserable day with 70% chance of rain, heavy rainfall is a big possibility at times, temps in the mid-70s and very windy with E-NE winds at 20-30mph +gusting.  Tuesday night... rain, temps in the low-70s with East winds at 10-20mph.  The Full Moon is Tuesday and with this "heavy rainfall" in the forecast, there could be a very serious potential for coastal flooding as the Full Moon (and New Moon) bring much higher than normal tides.  If it's down-pouring rain during the high tide cycle, no doubt we'll see street flooding.   If here vacationing this coming week, I truly hate to be the bearer of bad new but this week looks like your focus should be on knowing your low-lying areas on the island as well as high tide times as it could be very, floody. Be aware of where you park and drive as well as where you'll be spending your "wet" week here. You'll have to adjust to that "alternative plan" mode.

Another Beautiful Summer Day On Tap

This Morning's Webcam Shot - North WW

Mornin'!  It's 67° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 97% with a dewpoint of 65°.  Winds are out of the NE at 4-7mph.  The air is thick with the aromas of brine and marsh this morning.  We're under cloud cover as Ms Sun breaks through the breaks in the sky like a fireball.  There are areas of patchy fog this morning.  I can't find fog on the Cams in Wildwood this morning but the Oceanview Campground which is off the island is foggy at the moment.  We're going to have morning clouds and possibly fog rolling in giving way to a sunny day with temps in the mid-70s and E-NE winds at 10-20mph.  Tonight... clear, temps in the low-60s and E-NE winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... a mix of sun and clouds, temps in the mid-70s and very stiff E-NE winds at 15-25mph +gusting.  Monday... intervals of sun and clouds, temps in the mid-70s and still very windy.

Happy Friday the 13th!

Mornin'!  It's 69° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's up there again at 96% with a dewpoint of 67°.  Winds are out of the E-NE at 5-10mph and Ms Sun's up over the horizon.  There isn't any cloud cover to report other than one of the offshore Webcams (Oceanview Campground) seems to be a bit foggy.  It seems that we're going to have another nice day on tap.  Expect mostly sunny skies with some of that light, wispy cloud cover, temps in the mid-70s and NE winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... partly clear with some of those clouds sticking around, temps in the mid-60s and East winds at 5-10mph.  Saturday... mostly sunny, temps near 80° with East winds at 10-15mph.  Saturday night... partly cloudy, temps in the low-mid 60s and East winds at 5-10mph.  Sunday... sunny, temps near 80° and NE winds ramping up at 15-20mph +gusting as high as 25mph.  Sunday night... clear, temps in the low-mid 60s.  Monday... mostly sunny, temps near 80°.

Rip Current: Moderate Risk... life-threatening rip currents are possible in the surf zone. I'd say to swim near a lifeguard but there are none posted this time of year.  Lifeguard stands have been removed.  Be very careful if heading to the beach and taking a dip. I've posted a guide to follow in case you don't heed my suggestion.

More Beach Time

This Morning's Webcam Shot - North WW

Mornin'!  It's 67° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 87% with a dewpoint of 59°.  Breezes are barely there out of the E-SE at 2-3mph.  Ms Sun's on her way and it won't be long until she passes over the dark-coral / red horizon line along the ocean.  It'll be another beauty with vivid blue skies and sunshine, temps in the mid-70s and East winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... a few passing clouds, temps back to where they are now (mid-upper 60s) and East winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... partly sunny, temps in the mid-70s and E-NE winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow night... partly cloudy, temps in the mid-60s and NE winds at 5-10mph.  Saturday... mostly sunny, temps in the mid-upper 70s and East wind at 5-10mph.  Sunday... mostly sunny, temps in the upper 70s.  Monday... partly sunny, temps in the upper 70s and Tuesday... partly sunny with temps in the upper 70s.  Talk about repetitive and monotonous weather as I've never been so happy to lack variety in the weather department!!!  By the way, beaching has never been so incredible this summer with this perfect weather. I've been on the beach Monday, Tuesday, yesterday and plan on it again today, possibly tomorrow and this weekend.  I'm getting some serious books read as of late.  Just to note, there are no lifeguards but there are occasion patrols driving along the beach.  Boardwalk lined dune paths, trashcans and Porta-Johns are still on the beaches.  No beach umbrellas/chair rentals available that I can see (some umbrella-rental sheds have already been removed).  There's still ice cream being sold by the walking vendors.  The sky's been sapphire blue.  The ocean's still warm and clear.  The sand is still being raked in the early morning and being warmed by sunshine. The air is cool if in the shade of an umbrella (it's always a good idea to pack a light hoodie or rashguard).  And, there's just 10 days left of Summer.  If in Wildwood, enjoy!

This Lovely Weather-Week Continues

Mornin'!  It's 64° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 85% with a dewpoint of 58°.  Ms Sun's up and once again turning the island golden.  And, breezes are light out of the N-NE at 2-4mph.  It's a picture perfect morning down the Shore.  Expect this beautiful weather week to continue as we'll have abundant sunshine again today with temps in the mid-upper 70s and East winds at 5-10mph.  Tonight... clear skies, temps where they are now... 64° and E-SE winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... more of the same with a sunny day, temps in the mid-70s and East winds at 10-15mph.  As for this weekend... it's looking nice with sunny skies, temps in the mid-70s and E-NE breezes.  Sunday might be on the breezy side but lovely just the same.

Another Beauty For The Books

Mornin'!  It's 63° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 83% with a dewpoint of 60°.  Ms Sun's up and painting the island gold this morning.  No clouds blocking her rays this start to the day.  Winds are light out of the West at 4-7mph.  It'll be just like yesterday with vivid blue skies, temps in the upper 70s and W-NW winds at 5-10mph.  Tonight... clear skies, temps around where they are now... low 60s and West winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... another beauty with sunny skies, temps in the mid-70s and East winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow night... clear with a smattering of clouds, temps in the low-60s and E-SE winds at 5-10mph.  I did a beach day yesterday and even with those West winds, I didn't see one green-head fly.  I had the repellent at the ready though.  I'm going again today and probably again tomorrow and Thursday.  We're in the midst of some fantastic beach weather as well as very deserted beaches. With the coastal towns quiet again, it's hard to describe my surroundings but with hardly anyone around town or at the beach, it's the most peaceful, quiet, beautiful and cherished moments now.  Wildwood has quieted and slowed way down.  It's also what retirement at the Shore is all about... a very grateful and satisfying time of the year for me.

A Monday Beauty

Mornin'!  It's 57° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 72% with a dewpoint of 48°.  Ms Sun's up and just crossed over the horizon and we have breezes barely there out of the NW at 3-5mph.  And, the geese are in formation flying South and squawking loudly as they leave us.  Fall is in the air!  Fall might be in the air but it'll be feeling like summer today with blue, sunny skies, temps in the mid-upper 70s and West winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... clear, starlit skies, temps in the low-60s and SW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... more of today's weather with blue, sunny skies, temps in the upper 70s and W-NW winds at 5-10mph.  Wednesday... more lovely weather with blue, sunny skies, temps in the upper 70s and NW winds at 5-10mph.
