Presidents Day and Lundi Gras

Mornin'!  It's Lundi Gras... another day of celebration (Monday) before Mardi Gras and 2 days before Ash Wednesday (the start to the Lenten season). It's also a national holiday as the 3rd Monday in February is known as Presidents Day honoring our first president George Washington (his birthday is actually February 22nd).  It's also trash day and anyone (my neighbor) who put their trash out last night has overturned cans as their trash and recycle has been flying around my neighborhood (thanks to the very stiff winds) as well as towards the harbor. 
It's 37° in Wildwood NJ.  It's feels like 25° with those N-NE winds at 20-25mph.  We had our rain beginning last night and into the overnight.  It was a fairy decent dosing which we needed badly having no rain in a month.  It's not raining now but it's cloudy and windy and feels raw and cold.  We're going to have a cloudy day with peeks of sun by late this afternoon, temps will be in the mid-upper 30s feeling more like the upper 20s with those N-NE winds at 20-30mph.  Tonight... partly cloudy, temps in the low-30s and barely a breeze out of the E-NE.  Tomorrow... mostly cloudy start, partly sunny afternoon, temps in the low-40s and S-SW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow night... partly to mostly cloudy, temps in the mid-30s and South winds at 5-10mph.

Rains-A-Comin'

Mornin'!  It's 35° in Wildwood NJ.  Breezes are barely there and my guess is no windchill.  For the record the breeze is out of the SW at 2-3mph.  It's partly cloudy with clouds surrounding the island but there are areas of clear sky as well.  More clouds seem to be on the marsh side as Ms Sun's on her way in about a half an hour.  The clouds will thicken as we're supposed to have cloudy skies today with periods of light rain by the afternoon (90% chance).  Temps will be in the upper 30s with very light and variable breezes.  Tonight... 100% chance of rain (heavy rainfall is possible), temps in the low-30s and NE winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... cloudy with 25% chance of rain in the early morning, temps in the upper 30s and N-NE winds at 15-25mph.  We might see peeks of sunshine by later in the afternoon. Tomorrow night... partly cloudy in the evening giving way to cloudy skies overnight, temps in the low-30s  with very light and variable winds.  The "New Moon" is Tuesday partly to mostly sunny with temps in the low-40s and we could begin to see higher than normal tides due to the moon's pull on our waters.  If we do get these heavy rains today and tonight, the rain along with the meltdown from the snow that's still hanging around, could potentially bring some coastal/island flooding during those high tide periods.  Be aware of your surroundings and know your low-lying areas on the island as well as the "high" tide times.  Also, remember that the back of the islands high tide period is one hour later than the ocean's high tide time.

Looking Mostly Cloudy Today

Ferry Terminal Waterway - Cape May 

Mornin'!  It's Abraham Lincoln's birthday today.  He was born 217 years ago.  It's 32° in Wildwood NJ.  It feels like 19° with those NW winds at 18-22mph +gusting.  Why not?  A sweatshirt was the only thing needed when out and about doing a little shopping yesterday at the Cumberland Mall (50 miles inland) as we actually had a slight preview of Spring. It was a surprisingly mild, sunny, calm, weather day yesterday as temperatures reached 48° (feeling much warmer) here in Wildwood as well as surrounding areas.  I never thought I'd think that 48° was mild but it was just that.  We had quite a meltdown and what a beauty!  Today... not so much.  It's currently cloudy and will stay mostly cloudy with peeks of sun (mostly in the morning), temps in the mid-30s feeling like the low-20s due to the NW winds at 20-30mph +gusting.  Tonight... partly clear, temps around 25° and NW winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... sunny, temps in the mid-30s and NW winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow night... clear, temps in the upper 20s and West winds at 5-10mph.  Saturday... partly cloudy, temps in the mid-40s and West winds at 10-15mph.  Saturday night... partly cloudy, cloudy overnight, temps in the low-30s and SW winds at 5-10mph.  Sunday... a 60% chance of a rainy day, temps around 40° and East winds at 10-15mph.  Sunday night... 80% chance of rain, temps in the mid-30s and E-NE winds at 10-15mph.  Monday... 40% chance of rain, temps in the low-40s and N-NE winds at 10-20mph.  Monday night... partly cloudy, temps in the low-30s and N-NW winds at 5-10mph.

Meltdown Has Begun

This Morning's Webcam Shot - North WW

Mornin'!  It's 36° in Wildwood NJ. The windchill temp is 28° with light winds out of the NW at 5-10mph.  The meltdown is on! You can hear everything melting when stepping out this morning.  It'll probably continue to thaw all what's frozen on the island and surrounding areas the remainder of this week. It's currently cloudy as Ms Sun rises in less than a half hour.  We're going to have a mix of sun and clouds today with gusty winds developing this afternoon.  Temps will go to 41°!!! Winds will keep us from feeling that warmth as they'll be rip-roaring out of the NW at 20-30mph +gusting.  Tonight... clear skies, temps in the upper 20s and W-NW winds at 15-25mph +gusting.  Tomorrow... mostly sunny with a few clouds from time to time, windy with NW winds at 20-30mph +gusting and temps around 35°.  Tomorrow night... mostly clear, temps in the mid-20s and NW winds at 10-20mph.  Friday... sunny, temps in the mid-30s with NW winds at 10-15mph.  Friday night... partly cloudy, temps around 30° and NW winds at 10-15mph.  Saturday... sunny, temps in the low-40s and West winds at 10-20mph.  Saturday night... partly to mostly cloudy, temps in the low-mid 30s and S-SW winds at 5-10mph.  Sunday... cloudy with 50% chance of rain showers in the afternoon, temps around 40° and E-SE winds at 10-15mph.  Sunday night... 70% chance of rain, temps around 33° and E-NE winds at 10-20mph.

Cloudy Tuesday

5th Street Boat Ramp - North WW

Mornin'!  It's 27° in Wildwood NJ.  No windchill!  There are no breezes to note.  Enjoy that calm.  It's partly cloudy as Ms Sun's trying to get through all the cloud cover along the beach.  We should see peeks of sunshine this morning as more clouds roll in and create a gray day with cloudy conditions.  Temps may hit 40° and that's a "4" and not a typo!  Expect a real balmy day after these last 19 days of frigid temps.  We'll have southerly breezes at 3-5mph this afternoon.  Tonight... 20% chance of rain beginning late tonight into the overnight, temps in the low-30s and South winds at 4-6mph becoming blustery after midnight switching from the NW at 15-20mph.  Tomorrow... mostly cloudy start becoming sunny with temps hitting 40° again!  It'll be breezier tomorrow with NW winds at 15-20mph +gusting.  Tomorrow night... clear, temps around 30° wit W-NW winds at 15-25mph +gusting.  The Ferry has cancelled its first sailing today again due to ice.  And, I'm hoping that my neighborhood birds get a chance to enjoy the birdbath out back.  I keep watering the ice in and refilling as time and time again they've been waiting for a drink of water.
