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.

Sunny Monday

Today's Cam Shot - WW Crest

Mornin'!  It's 13° in Wildwood NJ.  It's feeling like -1° with the N-NW winds at 5-10mph.  Ms Sun is up over the icy horizon.  It's incredibly cold and icy outside.  There's still old, leftover snow (weeks old) and icy patches around the island.  At the beach along the ocean line there are rigid uneven blocks of ice. The ocean is actually icing up (A rare phenomenon) and beginning to create ice mounds where the waves break.  Winter certainly is having its way with us.  The sunshine today should begin somewhat of a warming as temps climb into the upper 20s possibly tapping 30° but it'll still feel like the teens with the NW winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... partly to mostly cloudy, temps in the low-20s and West winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow...  cloudy with balmy temps and a high of 38° with Southerly winds at 10-15mph.  We may just see some real melting tomorrow.  Fingers crossed.  Here's something else to keep your fingers crossed... 25% chance of rain tomorrow night with temps in the mid-30s and W-SW winds at 10-15mph.  We haven't had any rain here since January 18th. Wednesday... partly clear / partly cloudy with temps tapping 40° but gusting winds are once again the show stopper (NW at 15-25mph +gusting).

Mostly Sunny Sunday

This Morning's Webcam Shot - North WW

Mornin'! It's 11° in Wildwood NJ.  It feels like -8° from the windchill.  Winds are still wailing out of the NW at 25-30mph +gusting.  I checked and the coldest place in the U.S. is Fairbanks, Alaska with a minimum average temp of -16° with the lowest recorded temp of -66°.  So, I guess I'm grateful for the weather here along the New Jersey coast.  Ms Sun's up and shining brightly over the island.  There's not a cloud in sight.  It'll be partly sunny with dangerous winds continuing through tonight.  Temps will be around 20° with windchills at 2-4 degrees from the NW winds at 20-30mph +gusting.  Tonight... clear skies, temps around 12° feeling like 0° from those N-NW winds at 15-25mph +gusting.  Tomorrow... sunny and high near 30°!!!!  Winds will be out of the NW at 10-15mph making it feel like 15°.  Tomorrow night... cloudy, temps in the low-20s and West winds at 5-10mph.  Tuesday... we could actually tap 38° with barely a breeze.  It looks like no sunshine though.  Continue to take frostbite precautions if heading outside even if it's for the littlest thing.  The windchill is something you take very seriously.  Stay safe out there!

Dangerous Cold and Winds Surround Us

Beach Cams This Morning

Mornin'! It's 28° in Wildwood NJ feeling more like 12° with the windchill.  It's cloudy and the winds are out of the NW at 30-40mph +gusting.  It's incredible as an Arctic front is bringing some dangerous wind and cold and some snow to our region right now and throughout today and tomorrow.  We're in the midst of snow showers (barely landing on the ground) with wintry skies.  Today's "warnings" remain in effect through tomorrow... "High Wind Warning" and "Extreme Cold Warning" are posted and should be taken very seriously.  It'll be like this all day... intermittent snow showers with extremem winds out of the NW at 35-50mph.  Chance of snow is 30%.  Temps will be dropping as it'll stay cloudy and feel like -5°.  Tonight... skies will clear, temps will be around 10° with NW winds at 25-40mph making it feel like -8°.  Tomorrow... mostly clear with clouds from time to time, still very windy with NW winds at 20-30mph +gusting making the 20° feel like -1.  Tomorrow night... clear, temps around 13° feeling like -2° from the N-NW winds at 15-25mph. Be careful with this badboy.  Don't leave the house if you don't have to.  And, bundle up like never before (layer up and head, face, hands covered) if you must go outside.  Stay safe.

It's The Calm Before Another Weekend Winter Weather System

Delaware Bay - The Sunken Ship

Mornin'!  It's 23° in Wildwood NJ.  It's feeling more like 16° with the light winds out of the North at 4-6mph.  It's clear with some hazy clouds.  It's cold with frost on all the surfaces outside.  It's the calm before the storm.  Starting tomorrow there will be some "warnings" posted for this weekend.  First up will be the "Extreme Cold Warning" due to the low temps and high winds.  The other naturally is "High Wind Warning" bringing the dangerous wind chills.  And still another is "Heavy Freeze Spray" warning that is directed mainly to mariners and those in vessels in coastal waters of the Atlantic and Delaware Bay.  
It'll be a partly sunny day with a mix of clouds and sunshine, becoming mostly cloudy this afternoon, temps in the low-30s and NW winds at 5-10mph.  Tonight... 40% chance of snow showers / flurries becoming less late this evening, temps in the low-20s and W-NW winds at increasing from 5-10mph to 20-30mph.  Snowfall amounts are barely an inch.  Tomorrow... mostly cloudy and very windy along with snow showers and flurries, no accumulation expected, temps in the mid-upper 20s and NW winds at 25-40mph +gusting creating a windchill of below zero temperatures.  Tomorrow night... clear and very windy, temps around 10° feeling like -7° due to the NW winds at 25-35mph +gusting to 50mph.  Sunday... mostly sunny and very windy.  Temps will be in the low-20s with NW winds at 20-30mph +gusting making it feel like 5° to -2°.  Sunday night... clear skies, temps around 12° with N-NW winds at 15-25mph +gusting making the windchills in the -2°.  Take this incredibly cold spell very seriously.  If you must go out, dress in layers including a hat, face mask, and gloves.  Exposed skin could easily and quickly be subject to frostbite. Oh, and by the way, it was 16 years ago today that "Snowmagdeon" hit Wildwood.  Kept me in the dark without heat for 6 days.
