D-Day

Hereford Lighthouse - North Wildwood, NJ

Mornin'!  It's 40° under cloudy, dark skies this early morn.  Breezes are an afterthought as there are none at the moment.  The surf sounds and sea air are noticable though.  All forecasts are pointing to periods of rain for the next 4 days or so. (No wonder the arthritis is making its presence known). The weekend's looking wet but not a total washout.  Today...a day that will live in infamy (December 7th) will be overcast with rain showers on and off throughout the day (40% chance). Breezes out of the South will be wifting (I mean wafting) in at 11-16mph.  Temps will be just tapping 50°.  Those "on and off" showers will continue throughout the weekend as Saturday...30% chance of rain (although some forecasts report peeks of sunshine mixed in) and Sunday...back to 40% and might as well mention Monday...20% chance of rain.  Looks like holiday raindrop dodging is more than likely.

More seasonable

Mornin'!  It's 31° in WW.  Now, that's more like it!  It's dark, still, clear and starlit this morning.  The aroma of the sea is in the air.  It'll tap the 40° mark today as it'll stay clear and sunny. Breezes will be out of the N-NNE at 8-10mph.  The weekend's now looking 50/50 as Saturday looks a bit on the rainy side and Sunday...sunny.

The Spring feel is fading fast

Ferris Wheel at Morey's Pier, Wildwood NJ

Mornin'!  It's 58° in WW.  Yep...you read that right as it's a mild morning out there.  The sky looks just like it has all week as the heavy broken clouds are giving that glowing hazy moon, ominous, eerie look.  Today will be the transition day as more of a wintry feel is heading our way by this afternoon.  The NW breezes (20-25mph) will be bringing colder temps as we drop down into the low-50's and 40's tonight and by this time tomorrow back into the more seasonable temps...30's.  It'll be party sunny/partly cloudy today but by late afternoon, the sun will probably take over any lingering clouds.  Tomorrow...colder but sunnier as we head into some rainy weather by the weekend.  Could be a gift wrapping / homemade soup making weekend!

Spring in the air

Spring Evening on the Wildwood Boardwalk

Mornin'!  It's 52° at the Shore.  The sky looks much like yesterday's at this same time...partially cloud cover with the moon filtering through ominously as they move slowly out over the sea; eerie but very cool.  These clouds may possibly bring a light shower or two this early morn.  Behind them comes the sun and a warm front.  We're going to see a Spring-like day in WW.  Temps may hit the 70° mark while hubby deciding if he's wearing shorts or not to work today.  Breezes will be out of the S-SW at 10-15mph with some 20+ gusts.  At the moment...no breezes or capris for me.

A Keeper

Mornin'!  It's 52° in WW.  The island's covered in early morning eerie darkness, as the moon is providing light outside amoungst the broken clouds (much like a halloween-werewolf sky).  No breezes to write about.  It's quiet except for the sound of an occasion vehicle driving over the drawbridge not far from here.  Can't hear the ocean's roar today.  Looks like a keeper as it'll be sunny with the temps in the high 50's and possibly even tapping the 60° mark this start to the week.  Breezes will stay minimal from the N-NW to start and switching it up by late afternoon to the S-SE all at a light 5mph.  Like I said...a keeper.

Soup's On!

Mornin'!  It's 50° in WW.  The soup's on as there's "0" visibility due to dense fog this morning.  Not sure how much of this will burn off as the weather folk are saying cloudy and misty all day before the rains tonight.  Temps will get up into the mid 50's as the SW breezes will wift (I mean waft) in at 10-12mph.

Tip of the Hat to December!

Mornin'!  It's 41° in WW.  It's bright, sunny, crisp, still and a perfect day to start out the month of the Winter Solstice...21 more days!  Which mean the days will grow a little longer each day.  I love the Winter Solstice.  There's a bit of cloud cover this morning which will hang out with the sun all day.  It's making a nice insulator for the sound of the surf as the roaring ocean can be heard.  Temps will rise into the mid-50's as breezes will be only 5-8mph out of the S-SE and appears to be a perfect December Saturday for outdoor decorating.  Just saying.  Looking good for tonight's beach bonfire too as temps will be in the 40's with breezes out of the S-SW at 5-8mph as well.
