Sunny Start Turns Into A Cloudy Day

Mornin'!  It's 43° in Wildwood NJ.  Not a breeze to note and if there was... N-NW direction.  No windchill or flags flying this morning.  It's clear and Ms Sun is shining brightly without a cloud in the sky for now.  It's going to become cloudy later this morning as the clouds will take over providing us with just a gray day at least until sunset.  Temps will be in the upper 50s / low 60s with East winds out of the SE at 5-10mph checking in right along with the cloud cover.  We could see a lovely sunset as it looks like the clouds may move over just in time for the sun to set.  For overnight... mostly cloudy, temps in the upper 40s and SE winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... gray with 60% chance of a rainy late afternoon, temps in the upper 50s and SE winds at 10-20mph.  Depending on where you are along the coast, heavy rainfall is possible.  Tomorrow night... cloudy with rain (75% chance), temps around 50° and SW winds at 10-15mph.  Thursday... morning clouds will give way to a sunny day, temps in the low-60s and NW winds at 10-20mph.  Thursday night... clear, temps in the upper 40s and NW winds at 10-15mph.  As April winds down, Spring is showing off here as the marsh grasses have begun turning from brown to green (at their roots), the island trees are all budding and/or flowering, and the Spring bulbs (tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, crocuses, lilacs) are now showing off and providing the island with their beautiful colors.  Also, the Full Moon will be celebrating May as it's on May 1st (this coming Friday)!

Mornin'!  It's 52° in Wildwood NJ.  Right now it's gray as Ms Sun is trying to brighten the sky with some of her colors along the ocean's horizon.  By the looks of the rest of the cloudy sky, I'm not too optimistic on any sunshine this morning.  But, who knows?  By the way, we had rain overnight thankfully as all my new outdoor plants, seeds and seedlings I'm sure are grateful too.  Forecasters are predicting a mostly cloudy day with 40% chance of rain.  Current winds are out of the E-SE at 15-20mph and will ramp up even more out of the East at 20-30mph.  Tonight... 90% chance of rain, temps in the mid-40s and E-NE winds at 25-35mph.  Tomorrow...  another gray day with 25-30% chance of rain in the morning, cloudy in the afternoon, temps around 50° and N-NE winds at 20-30mph.  Tomorrow night... partly cloudy, temps around 44° and N-NE winds at 15-25mph.  Monday... plentiful sunshine, temps around 60° and NE winds at 10-20mph.  Monday night... clear skies, temps in the upper 40s and NE winds at 10-15mph.

Earth Day

Aerial of Wildwood NJ and my House

Mornin'!  Happy Earth Day!  Founded in 1970 by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson following a massive oil spill.  Our planet is an amazing place and always needing our help to thrive!  Each year on this date, more than a billion people celebrate the Earth in some way and do what they can to protect our planet from things like pollution and deforestation.  By taking part in activities (which should be done on a daily basis not just once a year) such as not throwing or leaving trash thoughtlessly, picking up litter even when it's not yours. Remember, trash and plastics inevitably get blown into the ocean and marsh and as the fish consume our trash and plastics, then we consume the fish. They suggest planting trees, create a pollinator garden for bees and butterflies, composting, recycling, switch to reusable items, reducing meat consumption, keep from impulsively allowing water to run, turning off lights etc. The lights left on is sore spot for me. It's amazing the number of residents who come to their homes here just weekends and off and on during the summer but leave their outdoor (and some indoor) lights on throughout the entire year.  Why???  It's disgraceful.  It's wasteful energy providing light pollution at its very worst.  Not only are their outdoor lights shining into my home, there's no star-gazing as the sky is no longer clearly visible at night or how about saving electric with all their lighting carelessly left on especially in the dead of Winter. Let's all try to be more conscientious and keep our world a more thoughtful, happier, healthier place. 
On to the weather... it's 50° in Wildwood NJ.  It's partly cloudy as Ms Sun's up and trying to shine through the some of that morning cloud cover.  Winds are out of the South at 10-15mph.  It'll be a partly to mostly cloudy day today.  It'll start out mostly sunny becoming cloudy later this morning, then by late afternoon, the sunshine is back.  Temps will be in the low-mid 60s with S-SW winds at 10-20mph.  There's a 25% chance of rain sometime before noon.  Tonight... clear, moonlit skies, temps around 50° and light and variable winds.  Tomorrow... partly sunny and turning warmer.  Temps will be in the mid-upper 60s with North winds shifting from the SW at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow night... partly cloudy, temps in the low-50s and NW winds at 5-10mph.  Friday... mix of sun and clouds, temps in the upper 50s and East winds at 10-15mph.  Friday night... temps in the mid-upper 40s with 25% chance of rain.  Saturday... 70% chance of rain along with windy conditions (East 20-30mph), temps in the mid-50s.  Saturday night... 75% chance of rain, temps in the mid-40s and still blustery.  Sunday... 65% chance of rain kicking off the day, temps in the low-50s and NE winds at 15-25mph.  Sunday night... 20% chance of rain, temps in the upper 40s.
