Gray Tuesday

Cape May NJ

Mornin'!  It's 54° in Wildwood NJ.  It's dark, gray and a bit misty outside. Everything's wet and drippy. Breezes are out of the S-SE at 10-15mph.  It's one of those perfect days to roll over and pull the comforter closer... thus, the late blog entry.  We're about to have a couple dreary wet days.  Time to make some time in the kitchen. Making homemade soup not to mention the Christmas cookie dough is on the activity calendar today.  Today's soup will be "Pumpkin Bisque" as the outdoor, porch pumpkins (and pumpkin seeds) got roasted over the weekend while the tree got decorated.  It's all happening.   
For the weather... expect this morning mist to turn into light rain with showers due in this afternoon.  Temps will be a tad warmer than they should be this time of year at 60° with winds ramping up out of the S-SE at 10-20mph.  Tonight... cloudy and more rain with temps in the low-50s and South winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... gray with occasional rain showers (50% chance), temps in the upper 50s and S-SW winds at 5-10mph.  Don't forget the Full Moon is tomorrow.  I'm not sure we'll see it with the wet weather settling in but it will certainly have its effect on the tides... much higher than normal.  Expect some areas to have that ol' coastal flooding.  Know those "low-lying" areas on the island and don't drive through flood waters!

Enjoy The Last Of The Sunshine Today

Wildwood Crest - Sunset Lake

Mornin'!  It's 29° in Wildwood NJ.  It's clear, starlit, moonlit and still as breezes are barely there (NE 2mph).  It's crisp and quiet with some of the briny air added to wake up the senses.  Everything's a bit frosty outside.  It'll be a pleasant autumn day with plenty of sunshine and some light clouds in the mix.  Temps will be in the low-50s with Easterly breezes at 5-10mph.  Tonight... partly cloudy skies giving way to cloudy skies late into the overnight.  There's a 15% chance of a rain shower with temps in the low-40s and SE winds at 50-10mph.  Tomorrow... cloudy start with rain showers coming in by the afternoon (80% chance).  Temps will still be in the low-mid 50s with S-SE winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow night into Wednesday... more gray sky and rain on tap.  In fact, Thursday looks to be cloudy with periods of rain in the morning and Friday looks like a total washout. But, it all can change in a blink of an eye and I'll be watching!

Rainy First Saturday In December

Mornin'!  It's 55° in Wildwood NJ.  It's raining with S-SW winds at 15-20mph.  It was the perfect morning to pull the comforter up tighter and roll over for a little extra sleep.  I actually did that yesterday too with the sun shining lol!  The scones just came out of the oven!  Today's are raisin/cranberry/orange.  They smell incredible with that fresh pot of coffee brewing.  I say... let it rain!  It'll be a mostly rainy day with windy conditions (S-SW 20-30+gusting) and mild temps... upper 50s.  It looks like the rain will be out of here by late afternoon / early evening.  Tonight... partly cloudy, temps in the mid-30s and NW winds at 15-25mph making it feel like the upper 20s (bundle up).  Tomorrow... Ms Sun's back with a few clouds in the mix, high near 44° and NW winds at 10-15mph.  Monday... temps around 50° and much calmer, more tolerable winds.

November's Blowing Out Of Here

This Morning's Webcam Shots - NNW

Mornin'!  Hey, November... this is it! You've done us proud as we begin to really close out Autumn.  Winter's in 21 days! It's 53° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's just crossing the horizon as the sky is once again magnificent with colorful cloud cover.  Can you say purple?  Or, periwinkle, mauve, violet, lavender, plum, mulberry, orchid, lilac, iris... should I continue?  It's just breathtaking this morning and is now beginning to turn into golds and oranges as the sunrise is happening so spectacularly thanks to those morning clouds.  The winds are another story entirely out of the S-SE at 20-25mph +gusting.  They're making the seascape change with each passing minute as the clouds are being moved around right before our eyes.  These very stiff winds will be picking up even more believe it or not.  Expect a partly sunny / partly cloudy start to the day with clouds taking over the sky and bringing rain showers by late morning becoming steady rain this afternoon.  Temps will be around 60° with S-SW winds at 25-35mph +gusting up to 50mph.  Tonight... partly cloudy and still windy.  Temps are going to drop to the low-30s as the winds shift from out of the W-NW at 20-30mph +gusting up to 40mph.  Tomorrow... sunny and much colder with temps in the low-mid 40s and those W-NW winds staying checked in at 20-30mph +gusting.  Friday... mild (50°), sunny and calm winds.  As for the upcoming (December) weekend... Saturday will be mild (60°), rainy and windy as Sunday will be partly sunny with much calmer winds and temps in the low-40s.  November always seems to quickly fly on by and this year's no exception.  Until next year November... see ya on the other side!
