See You Later February!

Mornin'!  It's 33° in Wildwood NJ.  We're under clear skies with a colorful painted horizon as Ms Sun's due up any moment now.  Winds are light out of the North at 8-10mph.  February's going to give us one last beautiful winter's day as she bids adieu.  Expect a sunny day with temps around 40° and N-NE winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... partly cloudy, low around 32° and SE winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... partly sunny, high of 50° with Southerly winds at 10-20mph.  At this time, it appears we won't have any rain until Saturday but I'll keep you posted.  February was certainly kind to us this year as it kicked off with a meltdown of January's snow as well as only giving us a couple frosty (one was a thin white layer of snow on Valentines Day) mornings. I'm sure our snow days are now limited as we very seldom get snow in March. We do get major blustery, relenting, persistent winds that have labeled March "My Least Favorite Month".  I think it's because I'm a Philly girl and in the big city, March provided lots of Spring-time peeks of warmth as well as the beginning of blooms and buds and a feeling of nice weather right on the doorstep.  Not here along the Coast.  March roars like a Lion here.  It can be very annoying.  I have to admit that last year, March wasn't as brutal as it usually is and one can only hope it repeats this year.  March will kick off with not only winds tomorrow but a New Moon as well.  Those high tides will be much higher than normal!  Until next year February... Cheerio!

February's Closing Its Door

Mornin'!  It's 37° in Wildwood NJ.  It's cloudy with breezes out of the W-NW at 8-11mph.  It feels cold and damp outside.  The sound of the ocean's waves crashing can be heard in the far away distance (6+ blocks) thanks to those insulating clouds.  These morning clouds will give way to sunshine by the afternoon.  Temps will get up near 50° with blustery West winds at 10-20mph.  Water droplets off the crests (tops) of breaking waves are generated and called "spume droplets" aka rooster or cocks combs when windy. It's pretty cool as the ocean's overflowing with them as far as the eye can see on those real blustery days. March (the windiest of all the months) will not disappoint I'm sure as I'm sure we'll have more winds than any other month.  Tonight... clear skies, cold around 29° with NW winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... the last day of February will go out mainly sunny, high of 37° and N-NE winds at 10-20mph.

Another Storm "Oaklee" On The Move

North Wildwood 

This Morning's Webcam Shots






Mornin'!  It's 37° in Wildwood NJ.  We're under partial cloud cover with winds out of the N-NE at 10-15mph.  There's some brightening along the horizon at the beach as the clouds are as colorful as they can be at the moment.  But, the clouds will begin to thicken and fill in as we're about to have a cloudy, wet day ahead.  Expect showers beginning later this morning becoming less and less during the afternoon hours and raining again tonight.  Temps remain steady in the mid-upper 30s with NE winds ramping up a bit at 10-20mph.  Chance of rain is 50%.  Tonight... cloud cover with periods of rain (90% chance) with temps still remaining steady at mid-30s and NE winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... rain early in the day (90% chance), then a mix of sun and clouds by the afternoon with temps heading back up to around 50° along with some blustery West winds at 15-25mph.  For the weekend... Saturday's partly sunny and a high of 37° as Sunday will be mostly sunny and a high of 47°.

There's a significant winter storm hitting the Southern Plains, Ohio Valley and Central Appalachians and NE United States with dangerous snow, freezing rain, sleet and ice tonight into tomorrow.  However, the Coastal areas (including Wildwood) will have only a rain event as we'll just escape getting any snow or ice from Oaklee.

Hump Day With Temps In The 60s!

Mornin'!  It's 57° in Wildwood NJ (that's not a typo).  We're under dark, ominous, cloudy skies with winds out of the SW at 10-15mph.  We're supposed to get some rain early (60% chance) with a mix of clouds and sun by this afternoon.  Temps will be in the low-60s!  Winds will ramp up a bit out of the W-SW at 10-20mph.  Tonight... partly cloudy turning to cloud cover with temps dropping significantly barely tapping the 30s.  N-NW winds will be around 10-15mph making if feel a pinch colder for sure.  After today's spring-like temps, anything will feel colder.  Tomorrow... kicking off the day with clouds then rain showers are due in by the afternoon (50% chance).  Temps will still feel colder in the mid-upper 30s with NE winds at 10-15mph.  At this time, the weekend looks partly to mostly sunny with temps a bit warmer in the 40s.  We're down to 25 days until Spring.  And, 18 days until Daylight Savings Time!

2-22-22

Mornin'!  It's 47° in Wildwood NJ.  It's spritzing rain every so lightly as Ms Sun's rising and acutally peeking through some of those thick, dark, horizon clouds. Winds out of the South at 10-15mph.  Between now and later this afternoon, we'll have cloud cover. We're supposed to start getting steady rain showers around 4-5pm.  These early morning showers aren't supposed to be here (so the weather-folk said).  Expect 50% chance of rain today with mild temps in the low-50s and Southerly winds at 20-30mph.  Tonight.... rainy and windy.  Expect rain this evening with temps in the low-50s and S-SW winds at 20-30mph (40% chance of rain).  Tomorrow... rain early with overcast skies later in the day, clearing by early evening, high of 58° and W-SW winds at 10-20mph (chance of rain 40%).  Thursday... much like today but colder as it'll be starting out partly clear becoming cloudy and rainy by the afternoon.  Friday... looking like a rainy day but clearing by sunset.  Temperatures both Thursday and Friday are going to be more seasonable and colder.
