Sunny Monday

Sunset Lake - Wildwood Crest NJ

Mornin'!  It's 27° in Wildwood NJ.  It's clear with plenty of stars twinkling above.  No breezes to note as it's quiet and still.  It's cold out there but not bad without those pesky winds.  It'll be a decent winter's day with abundant sunshine as she'll be rising in less than an hour.  Temps will climb up into the mid-40s with breezes out of the South at 8-11mph.  Tonight...clear with temps staying in the 40s with breezes out of the South at 15-20mph.  The week ahead has some gray weather lined up...tomorrow looks cloudy and windy; Wednesday has a chance of rain in the forecast; Thursday...more rain in the forecast; Friday...cloudy start with a possibility of sunshine; Saturday and Sunday...more clouds with showers (hate writing this but even the possibility of "snow") in the weekend forecast.  There's sunshine ahead but after today...good luck finding it!

Wintry First Sunday in March

North Wildwood NJ - The Wall

Mornin'!  It's 18° in Wildwood NJ.  It's breezy with winds out of the North at 20-27mph equalling a chill factor of 1°.  I knew Winter wasn't finished with us yet, but this is ridiculous.  March's wrath is swirling over the island in biting Winter mode.  It really feels brutal after experiencing a mild February.  Anyway...today will warm up some but I'd recommend not packing away the hats, scarves and gloves as today will be on the wintry side with temps barely reaching the upper 30s with breezes out of the N-NW at 20-30mph (doesn't include the windchill). The sky will be clear and bright blue as Ms Sun does her best to warm us.  Tonight...clear as temps will be in the upper 20s with light and variable breezes.  Tomorrow...less winds, higher temps (upper 40s) and more of the plentiful sunshine. Speaking of sunshine...this time next week, it'll be the start to daylight savings time...more daylight and sunshine!

Blasted Winter Weekend

Mornin'!  It's 27° in Wildwood NJ.  Whew...it's back to winter this morning!  It's windy...N-NW 10-15mph with a chill factor of 20°.  The sky is clear and ready for Ms Sun's grand entrance as she's rising as I type.  It'll be sunny early with partly cloudy skies and gusty winds (NW 20-30mph) checking in this afternoon. Temps will be in the mid-upper 30s today.  No snow squalls (like yesterday's) in this weekend's forecast. Tonight...clear with temps in the mid teens with breezes out of the North at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow...pretty much the same with no clouds...full sunshine and cold temps.

Blustery Friday

North Wildwood - 2nd Street Beach

Mornin'!  It's 37° in Wildwood NJ.  The sky is clear and starlit.  Breezes are light out of the N-NW at 3-6mph.  It's crisp and cold and quiet out there.  Today we'll have a mix of clouds and sun as temps barely tap 40°.  Those March winds...well they're back later from the NW at 15-25mph and by tonight...NW at 30-35mph. Here's a head's up...a couple forecasts reported snow showers throughout the day but with no accumulation.  Tonight...partly cloudy, cold and in the low-mid 20s and add to that those NW winds and we've got us a chill factor (feeling like we're in the teens).  And, the same for the weekend as it's looking cold (temps in the mid 30s) with plenty of sunshine pouring down but those March winds won't settle down until Sunday night.  It looks like the warmer temps (upper 40s/low 50s) do return on Monday.

March continues to roar!

North Wildwood - Hereford Lighthouse Park

Mornin'!  It's 50° in Wildwood NJ.  It's a tad breezy (thank you very much March) with 35-45mph winds out of the W-NW with gusts of 50+ mph.  Bring it on!  My porch furniture was reconfigured this morning. The sounds of wifts (I mean "wafts") is like hearing and feeling a high-speed train blowing down the street.  Ms Sun will be shining down all day.  No rain in the forecast.  Temps will be lowering a bit as the high today will be in the mid-upper 40s.  Tonight...clear and windy (W-NW at 20-25mph) with temps in the low 40s.  Tomorrow looks like a repeat of today as the winds aren't checking out until Sunday.  And get this...the high this weekend will be 35°.  It's roaring!

It's Here!!!

Mornin'!  March has entered the weather scene!  And, it'll be coming in foggy and gentle and turning into a blast.  It's 49° in Wildwood NJ.  It's quiet and foggy and it's drippy but not raining.  I think of these dark, still, wet, soupy, early mornings as perfect ambiance for a scary movie with footsteps in a dark alley. Don't let the early morning stillness fool you.  March is here and can be brutal. It's my least favorite month of the year due to the fact that this month usually holds nothing more than intense winds and unsettled, miserable, chilly, windy, cool air.  Not to mention it teases you as it could provide a terrific sneak peak of spectacular warm weather one day and bam...it hits you upside your head and gives you a non-stop cold, blustery string of days with winds that can make you begin screaming up at the sky begging for it to STOP! You know the kind...days of not being able to open a car door without it being blown off!  It'll be mostly cloudy and gray today with a 40% chance of rain showers and/or thunderstorms later this afternoon.  No winds to note now but they're coming later this morning...out of the S-SW at 20-30mph w/gusts of 40+mph.  Temps will be mild and could tap 60°.  Tonight...back into the upper 40s with more unsettled, stormy, extreme windy weather. Ms Sun returns tomorrow but with much colder temps (low 40s) and even more wicked winds out of the N-NW at 20-30mph with gusting of over 50mph.
