Five Star Weather


Mornin'! It's 54°, clear, and very still & quiet this Friday morn. The Sun's about to cross the horizon with not a cloud in the sky...just gorgeous horizon pastel colors accompanying the sun's rising. Temps will rise into the low 70's and winds will be gentle and light at 8-10mph from the West to start and will end coming from the East. You know the drill. It's going to be a perfectly beautiful 5-star day. The Monarch butterflies are loving it too. They're overtaking the coast from Stone Harbor to Cape May and Wildwood in between. It's all you see...butterflies, butterflies, butterflies. Just lovely. We're witnessing their 2,000 mile migration journey into central Mexico were they'll spend the winter. They're running late this year as it's usually a September phenomenom but they need favorable winds (north or west) to bring them over our coast as they dine on the dune plants to bulk up for their journey. It's amazing and beautiful so see. I'll be doing a little migrating myself this weekend beginning later today as I head northwest and will return Monday. The weekend blog will be put on hold, but if you cut and paste this 5 Star Weather, it'll take you right through to the middle of next week...enjoy! High tide:5:14p.m.; Low tide:10:58a.m.; Ocean temp:68°; Sunset:6:33p.m.
