Humpday Torrents

Mornin'!  It's 57° in Wildwood NJ.  It's raining at a good clip along with Southerly winds at 20-25mph +gusting.  If there ever was a reason to stay in bed... this morning's weather is #1.  Ugh... it's perfectly miserable out there.  Perhaps it's a good day to bake those Christmas cookies or write out those holiday cards.  If your outdoor decs are up, you might want to check on how secure everything is out there.  Parka with hood up is strongly suggested.  I should also remind you of flooding on the island as we're only 4 days away from the Full Moon and the fuller the moon, the higher the tides during those high tide times.  The backside of the island has high tide an hour later than the ocean side.  Be aware of the possibility of tidal flooding on the island and do what it takes not to drive through any flood waters.  Also, know your high tide times and the island's low-lying areas that are prone to flooding.  
It'll be like this throughout the entire day and night this Christmasy hump-day.  Expect rain (100% chance) 1-2" expected.  Temps will hover around 60° with S-SW winds at 25-35mph +gusting.  Tonight... 90% chance of rain, temps dropping significantly to the low-mid 30s with W-NW winds at 25-35mph +gusting.  Tomorrow... sunny with temps in the mid-40s and West winds at 15-25mph +gusting.  Tomorrow night... clear, 34° feeling like 28° with NW winds at 10-15mph.  Friday... partly sunny, temps around 40° with N-NW winds at 10-15mph.  As for this coming weekend... mostly sunny on Saturday with a high of 40° and E-NE winds at 5-10mph. Sunday... cloudy, temps in the low-50s with E-SE winds at 5-10mph.

Sunny Humpday

Mornin'!  I'm back!  The last time I did a blog entry was on Thanksgiving morning and it was 57° in Wildwood. 
This morning it's 29° in Wildwood!   Winter's doing more than peeking in as its already got one foot in the door.  We're now only 17 days away from the Winter Solstice.  The current conditions here are clear skies, barely any winds (out of the W-NW at 2-3mph with no windchill).  That'll change though.  We'll start out today with a clear, sunny, calm morning and by afternoon around mid-day, it'll become partly sunny and blustery with winds out of the SW at 20-30mph +gusting.  Today's temperature will be around 45°.   Tonight... overcast and windy with S-SW winds at 25-35mph +gusting, temps in the low-40s feeling like the low-30s along with a 25% chance of precipitation.  Tomorrow... chance of morning shower (25% chance), still very windy with West winds at 25-40mph, and temps in the mid-40s.  Tomorrow night... strong winds continue out of the W-NW at 25-35mph +gusting, temps in the low-30s feeling like the low-20s with the windchill.  As for this coming weekend... a very nice one with plentiful sunshine both Saturday and Sunday and temps in the mid-upper 40s and not near as windy as we're about to have today and tomorrow and Friday with Sunday possibly coming in around 50°!  Being near Pottsville PA for my extra long Thanksgiving weekend, I got a nice taste of Winter.  It was in the teens every morning.  It's always good to be home!
