Saturday Mix

This Morning's Webcam Shot - North WW

Mornin'!  It's 37° in Wildwood NJ.  25° colder than yesterday at this time.  Add to that 37° those current W-NW winds at 20-25mph and you get... 26° which is what the wind chill and what it feels like when stepping outside.  Although it's officially Spring and March is allowing Winter to rear its ugly head as it winds down and my furnace hums along.  It's partly cloudy at the moment as Ms Sun's rising.  She's beginning to paint those clouds and sky making for a lovely sunrise.  Expect a partly sunny day with temps in the upper 40s and these stiff winds begin to calm down out of the N-NW from 20-30mph to 10-15mph.  Tonight... clear, moonlit sky, temps in the upper 30s and N-NW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... sunny start becoming partly cloudy and windy, temps in the upper 40s with Southerly winds at 10-15mph increasing to 20-30mph.  Tomorrow night... overcast, temps in the mid-40s and S-SW winds at 15-25mph.  Monday... a mix of sun and clouds with temps around 60° and winds out of the SW at 10-20mph.
