The time has once again come for a mini-hiatus on the ol' weather blog.  This will be my last post until May 14th.  It's family time and for the most part do not do a laptop "take-along" for those moments (Mother's Day, Birthdays etc).  If you need weather for Wildwood, you know what to do.  Go to my blog page on the right for my "Personal Favs" and find and click on "Weather - Wunderground" and type in either Wildwood NJ or 08260 and you'll have the most accurate weather possible in my opinion.  The tides, sunsets, ocean temps, Calendar of Events etc. are also under Personal Favs.  Help yourself and I'll see ya on the other side! Happy Mother's Day to all you Mothers out there!

Sunday Winds Are Checking In

Mornin'!  It's 47° in Wildwood NJ.  It's cold with NW winds at 10-20mph making it feeling even colder (42° is more like it).  Ms Sun's up and shining brightly but is currently engaging with some clouds along the coast but still lighting up the deep blue sky as it all makes sense.  It's quite lovely actually.  The seagulls are enjoying mating season as it sounds like they're having a very good time this morning with their squawking and screeching everywhere.  It'll be a mostly sunny day with gusty winds. Winds will be out of the NW at 20-30mph making today's 58° temp feel more like 50°.  Tonight... a few passing clouds, temps around 50° and W-SW winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... sunny, temps in the low-60s and S-SW winds at 15-25mph.  Tomorrow night... clear, temps in the upper 50s and S-SW winds at 15-25mph.  Tuesday... mostly clear with a few clouds from time to time, temps in the upper 60s and S-SW winds blustery at 20-30mph +gusting.  Tuesday night... cloudy and windy, temps in the upper 50s and S-SW winds at 20-30mph.

First Weekend Of May

This Morning's Webcam - Ferris Wheel

Mornin'!  It's 51° in Wildwood NJ.  It's partly to mostly cloudy at the moment with breezes out of the SW at 2-4mph.  That chance of rain today that I've been reporting since Wednesday seems null and void now.  Although one forecast I checked is still saying 30% chance of rain showers this afternoon.  Everyone else is reporting no rain today.  I guess it remains to be seen (or felt depending where you're at).  For now... it appears like it's just a cloudy day on tap with temps near 60° and winds at 5-10mph out of the W-NW.  The next chance of rain seems like it'll be Thursday.  For tonight... cloud cover becomes partly cloudy with temps in the mid-40s and N-NW winds at 10-20mph. Tomorrow... sunny, temps around 60° with blustery conditions and winds out of the NW at 15-25mph.  Tomorrow night... a few clouds from time to time, temps around 50° and W-SW winds at 10-20mph.  Monday... sunny, temps in the low-60s and S-SW winds at 10-20mph.  Monday night... mostly clear with a few clouds here and there, temps in the upper 50s and S-SW winds at 10-20mph.  Morey's Pier opens this weekend!  The giant Ferris Wheel is currently being re-assembled and is now half up after a long winter of refurbishing!

Full Moon - May Day

Mornin'!  It's 49° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's up and shining brightly in the cloudless sky.  Winds are light out of the N-NW at 5-10mph.  It's a chilly but lovely morning down the Shore and perfect as we welcome May!  Happy May Day!  It'll be lovely with plentiful sunshine, temps near 60° and on the windy side with NW winds shifting to the S-SW at 10-20mph.  Tonight... 40% chance of rain as clouds will filter in and provide occasional showers into the overnight, temps in the upper 40s with S-SW winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... cloudy with a slight chance of a rain shower (15% chance), temps in the upper 50s and NW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow night... mostly clear, temps in the mid-upper 40s and N-NW winds at 10-15mph.  Sunday... plentiful sunshine, temps in the upper 50s and NW winds at 15-25mph.  Sunday night... a few clouds passing through, temps in the upper 40s and W-SW winds at 10-15mph.  The Full "Flower" Moon is tonight and the first of two Full Moons this month (the other is May 31st).  These two May Full Moons are considered "micromoons" or an apogee full moon.  They occur when the full moon coincides with the point in its orbit that is farthest from Earth.  It'll appear 14% smaller and 30% dimmer than usual full moons.  Hopefully, tonight's clouds won't interfere with that Full "Flower" Moon.
