Cloudy Start - Clear Finish

This Morning's Webcam Shot - North WW

Mornin'!  It's 52° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun just rose over the horizon but has lots of cloud cover to contend with during this sunrise.  Winds are out of the SW at 5-10mph.  They've simmered down as the winds were-a-howling all throughout the night.  It'll be a mostly cloudy start to the day with cloud cover followed by partial clearing.  We could see a passing rain shower this morning (30% chance) and even see a thunderstorm pass through.  By this afternoon, it should become partly to mostly sunny.  Temps will get up into the upper 60s with West winds ramping up again at 10-15mph.  Tonight... mainly clear, temps in the upper 40s and North winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... much colder and breezy with intervals of sun and clouds, temps barely tapping 50° and very windy with E-NE winds at 15-25mph.   Friday looks good with plentiful sunshine, temps in the low-mid 50s and calmer winds; Saturday looks like it'll be partly to mostly cloudy with temps in the low-mid 50s and Sunday appears to have intervals of sunshine and cloudy skies with temps in the low-mid 60s.

Full Moon Tuesday

Mornin'!  It's 49° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun couldn't shine any brighter this morning.  I need sunglasses in my house!  Breezes are light out of the S-SW at 3-5mph.  It's a lovely, brisk morning and will be a lovely day with sunny blue skies, temps in the upper 50s and S-SE winds at 10-20mph.  Tonight... clouds roll in giving way to occasional rain showers (40% chance), temps in the low-50s and Southerly winds at 15-25mph.  Tomorrow... 50% chance of rain early with sun peeking in later in the day, temps in the mid-upper 60s and West winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow night... clear with a mix of some clouds, temps in the upper 50s and N-NW winds at 5-10mph.  It's the Full Moon (aka "Pink Moon").  It's name corresponds with the early springtime blooms of a certain wildflower native to eastern North America such as the Phlox commonly called creeping phlox or moss phlox which is pink.  Not sure if we'll see that astronomical event tonight due to the cloud cover.  As the moon rises with the forecasted cloud cover the sun will set at the exact same time... 7:44PM.

Earth Day 2024

Mornin'!  Happy Passover! Tonight at sundown begins the first of 7 days celebrating the exodus of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt.  Though the festival is meant to be one of rejoicing and celebrating freedom from slavery and rebirth by Jews who prepare by cleaning, attending Seders, refraining from eating most carbs as strict dietary laws are observed.  It's also Earth Day... Happy Earth Day!  On Earth Day we celebrate the beauty of the place we call Home.  Today we pay tribute to the incredible beauty of our planet. It couldn't be a more perfect day to observe its beauty and if you see anything out of place you may want to straighten things up a bit.  And, it's almost the Full Moon (it's actually tomorrow) and the skies should be perfect for an exquisite moon rise tonight. 
It's 41° in chilly Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's up and shining through some clouds.  Winds are of the North at 5-10mph.  We'll have some morning clouds today giving way to a mostly sunny day with temps around 60° and NW winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... clear skies, temps in the mid-40s and S-SE winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... sunny, temps in the upper 50s with S-SE winds at 10-20mph.

Mornin'!  It's 46° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's up and trying to shine through the clouds along the horizon.  Winds are out of the N-NE at 6-8mph.  Looks like there's a chance of rain ahead today.  Expect a partly to mostly overcast day with showers at times (40% chance).  Temps will be in the low-50s with N-NW winds at 5-10mph.  Tonight... cloudy, becoming partially clear, temps will be in the low-40s with N-NW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... starting out on the cloudy side giving way to sunny skies for the late morning / early afternoon.  Temps will be around 60° with NW winds at 10-15mph. Tomorrow night... partly to mostly cloudy, temps will be in the upper 40s with N-NW winds at 4-6mph.  The Full Moon is Tuesday.  And, that Comet "Mother of Dragons" will peak tonight just at Sunset... look to the West if you have clear skies and a telescope.  A pair of binoculars could do the trick too.

4/20

Mornin'!  It's 51° in Wildwood NJ.  It's cloudy and gray again with light breezes out of the SW at 3-5mph.  We're going to have a cloudy start to the day with 25% chance of a rain shower or two.  In fact, it's raining along the coast north of us at the moment.  The sky will clear out as it'll become partly sunny by later this morning or later this afternoon.  It remains to be seen.  Temps will get up into the low-60s with West winds at 5-10mph.  Tonight... mostly clear with a few passing clouds, temps will drop into the mid-40s with N-NW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... another cloudy day with temps in the mid-50s and W-NW winds at 10-15mph.  It doesn't appear that we'll have any rain. 
It's 420!  Weed day! While no one can say for certain, rumors have circled that 420 was the code police used to describe marijuana smoking; 420 is the number of active chemicals in weed that get you high; April 20th was Bob Marley's birthday (it wasn't); that it's a reference to Bob Dylan's song "Rainy Day Women #12+35 (12 times 35 equals 420). In reality, it's much simpler... a group of high school students back in the '70s would meet after school (always at 4:20) to get high and eventually started using 420 as a code for meeting up and smoking weed.  Whatever the case, New Jersey has legalized marijuana. There are laws surrounding weed but Pot is legal in the Garden State.  The last I heard, there are over 100 legal recreational dispensaries in New Jersey.

And, before I forget... we could see a Comet flying through the sky tomorrow around Sunset. A bright green comet (12P/Pons-Brooks) known as the Devil and Mother Of Dragons, will reach peak visibility around then.  Looking west at sunset, you may spot it with binoculars.  It's time to pull out that telescope if you have one and hope the sky is clear tomorrow when the sun sets.

Foggy to Partly Cloudy Today

Mornin'!  It's 53° in Wildwood NJ.  We're in the thick of it as it's currently foggy in Wildwood.  Breezes are out of the North at 5-10mph.  The fog is insulating the sounds of the island too as you can hear the ocean's roar from my house and that's 6+ blocks away.  The island birds are a bit louder too.  Expect foggy areas this morning with fog lifting later this morning.  It'll be a partly cloudy day with peeks of sunshine, temps in the low-60s with North winds at 15-25mph.  Tonight... mainly cloudy, temps in the upper 40s and NE winds at 15-25mph.  Tomorrow... partly to mostly cloudy, temps in the low-mid 50s and East winds at 10-20mph.  Saturday... chance of rain in the morning (50% chance) with sunshine beginning to filter through by afternoon, temps in the low-60s and West winds at 5-10mph.  Sunday... partly cloudy with peeks of sunshine, temps in the low-50s and NW winds at 5-10mph.
