It's Election Day - 2024

This Morning's Webcam Shots
Mornin'!  It's 59° in Wildwood NJ.  We're socked in with heavy fog this early morn.  If it were a clear, blue-sky kind of morning, Ms Sun would be just crossing over the horizon and shining her rays beginning today's warm-up.  But, it's gray and drippy with light breezes out of the SW at 3-5mph.  We're going to have morning patchy fog with peeks of sunshine in a few hours.  It'll be a partly sunny / partly cloudy day with temps in the upper 60s and S-SW winds at 10-20mph.  Tonight... mainly clear, temps around 60° and S-SW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... like today it'll be partly sunny / partly cloudy, much higher temps (mid-70s) and SW winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow night... cloudy, temps in the mid-60s and SW winds at 3-5mph.  Need I tell you that it's Election Day?  Time to Vote!  Let's make this happen and see what tomorrow brings.  One thing for sure is no more Campaign commercials!

First Monday Of November

Mornin'!  It's 49° in Wildwood NJ.  It's dawn and the sky is clear.  Ms Sun's due up any moment now.  The horizon is beginning to be painted those lovely pastels.  Winds are barely there out of the East at 4-6mph.  It'll be a partly sunny day with clouds entering stage left and filling the sky by dinner time.  Temps will be mild... low-mid 60s with E-SE winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... mostly cloudy with clouds filtering out overnight, temps in the mid-upper 50s and winds light and variable.  Tomorrow... partly sunny with clouds in the mix, temps in the upper 60s and S-SW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow night... partly cloudy, temps in the low-60s with S-SW winds at 10-15mph.  Wednesday... partly sunny, temps in the low-70s with SW winds.  There's a slight chance we'll have rain Wednesday overnight into Thursday morning.  We're in severe drought conditions having no rain for the last 38 days.  The State's reservoir levels are now below average and the Forest Fire Service has issued an extreme fire danger rating for the entire State.  No fires are allowed on both public and private land.  Cape May County (Wildwood's County) along Atlantic, Camden, Cumberland, Ocean etc. all have the worst of the drought conditions.  Please be aware and don't go sitting around a blazing camp fire any time soon.  Also... watch those "smokes" while driving through those very dry back roads.

The Last Day Of Daylight Savings Time

Mornin'!  It's 51° in Wildwood NJ.  It feels like 48° with those N-NW breezes at 10-15mph.  Ms Sun just rose over the ocean's horizon.  It's a crisp, beautiful morning down the Shore.  It's also the last of daylight savings time.  We turn the clocks back ("Fall" back) tonight before turning in as sunset tomorrow will be "4:55pm".  Say hello to those dark treks home from work or start of dinners or painfully re-setting all those timers in the house.  Keep in mind that the Winter Solstice (12/21) is just 50 days away.  It's the shortest daylight of the year and the very next day (12/22) daylight begins growing longer each day. 
Anyway... today's weather will be nice.  Expect a perfect Autumn day with a mix of sun and clouds, temps in the low-60s and winds out of the N-NW at 10-15mph.  Tonight... clear, temps much colder in the low-40s and North winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... sunny, temps around 60° and NE winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow night... clear, temps around 50° with E-NE breezes at 5-10mph.  Monday... partly to mostly cloudy, temps in the low-60s and E-SE breezes at 5-10mph.  Don't forget the clocks tonight... it's my last reminder until March 9th!

November's In The House

Mornin'!  Happy November!  It's 66° in Wildwood NJ.  We're under clear, starlit skies.  Sunrise is just about an hour from now.  Winds are out of the SW at 10-15mph.  Clouds are supposed to roll on through this morning and stick around for most of the morning.  A bit later this afternoon, we'll see the sunshine begin to mix with the clouds as temps rise into the mid-70s with W-SW winds ramping up at 15-25mph.  Tonight... clear and chilly... upper 40s with NW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... sunny, temps in the low-mid 60s with N-NW winds at 10-15mph. Tomorrow night... clear, low-50s with North winds at 4-8mph.  Remember to turn the clocks back an hour tomorrow night before turning in as Eastern Standard Time begins on Sunday.  Speaking of Sunday... sunny, temps around 59° with E-NE winds at 10-15mph.  It's the New Moon today which brings higher and lower than normal tides. And as we being November, Hurricane season is supposed to end on November 30th and I'm hoping this November is kind to us.  We'll have to wait and see.  We could pray to the Saints as it is "All Saints Day" today!

It's Halloween!

Mornin'!  Happy Halloween!  It's 62° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's up and over the horizon.  Breezes are light out of the SW at 4-8mph.  It's a beautiful autumn morning down the Shore.  We're going to have record high temps this Halloween.  Expect those vivid blue skies again with plentiful sunshine, temps in the mid-upper 70s and SW breezes at 10-15mph.  Tonight... mostly clear and breezy, temps in the mid-60s and SW winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... partly sunny / partly cloudy with 15% chance of a shower, temps in the mid-70s and W-SW windsw at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow night... partly to mostly clear, temps in the low-60s and W-NW breezes.  As for this coming weekend... both Saturday and Sunday will be mostly sunny, temps in the low-60s with light and variable breezes.  It's time to say good-bye to another month.  For Wildwood NJ... October's weather has been fantastic this year albeit "dry".  We can only hope that next October is as beautiful.  Florida surely wouldn't agree with me as their entire Hurricane season has been one of the most intense of the season with October being no exception.  Until next year October, see ya on the other side!  Rest easy and Trick or Treat!
