New Moon Sunday

The Marina - Boat Ramp at 5th and New York Aves.

Mornin'!  It's 40° in Wildwood NJ.  It's New Moon Sunday.  It's still dark and mild outside with thick cloud cover and barely a breeze out of the E-SE at 2-4mph.  Just this very moment, the sky has opened up and I'm feeling light droplets of rain.  Before stepping outside, I checked the temps along with the doppler as I do and according to the radar live map, we're colored with thick "green color" meaning moisture is coming down outside.  The only moisture I initially felt was the dampness in the air... no rain or wet droplets.  But now, moisture has begun to fall very lightly and my guess is, it's none of the white stuff or wintry mix with the current temperature.  As for today's forecast... morning rain will be followed by a mix of rain and snow by afternoon. Temps will hover around what they are now.  Chance of rain is 100% with snow (if we do get any) could eventually accumulate to less than an inch later in the day and early evening.  Winds will be out of the N-NE at 10-15mph.  Tonight... 80% chance of snow with temps in the mid-20s and NW winds at 15-25mph.  Snow accumulations less than an inch.  Tomorrow... sunny for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.  It is a federal holiday (3rd Monday of January) as we celebrate his life.  It's designated as a national holiday for community service as we recognize his fight for racial equality and play our part by giving back and taking part in helping the community in some way.  We'll have a lovely winter day to do so with plentiful sunshine, temps around 40° and NW winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow night... mostly clear with some cloud cover, temps around 20° with NW winds at 10-20mph.  By the way, today's tides will be much higher and lower than normal due to the New Moon.  It'll be pulling on the ocean the same as a Full Moon (2/1/26).  The high tide times are an hour later on the bay-side / marsh-side of the island than the ocean side by the way.
