Mostly Sunny Today

Mornin'!  It's 42° in Wildwood NJ.  It's clear outside with moonlight and starlight filling the pre-dawn sky.  Breezes are out of the N-NW at 10-12mph making it feel like 36°.  It's certainly crisp out there this morning.  We're going to warm up nicely though with mostly sunny skies (some clouds in the mix) and temps around 50° with the N-NW winds at 10-15mph sticking around.  Tonight... clouds roll in and thicken as it'll be partly to mostly cloudy with SE breezes at 5-8mph and temps down into the low-40s.  Tomorrow... partly cloudy day with temps tapping 60° and breezes out of the S-SW at 10-15mph.  Thanksgiving Day is still looking wet with rain showers likely and a high of 62°.  By that second slice of pie in the evening, the clouds clear out and the stars and moon will begin shining bright in the clear, night sky.  While researching today's weather I read that this year's Winter Solstice's evening sky (December 21st) will be treating the world to something not seen since the Middle Ages in 1226.  Jupiter and Saturn will appear as if they're a double planet on this shortest day of the year. It'll happen in the Western sky just after sunset. From Earth's perspective, it'll appear as though these largest of the world's planets will be touching.  It doesn't last for long as the planets drift below the horizon fairly quickly after sunset.
