Fingers Crossed For Yesterday's Weather Again

Mornin'!  It's 43° in Wildwood NJ.  There's barely a breeze out of the South at 2-3mph.  It's partly cloudy (seems more on the west side of the island) as Ms Sun rises in the east.  She'll be up any minute now.  It'll be another lovely day with a touch of the warmth of Spring.  By the way, yesterday we reached 72° with clear, blue, sunny skies! Talk about "a touch of Spring"! It was not what the forecasters were forecasting although dense fog rolled in last night dropping temps significantly.  I'm seeing that today's weather will be foggy and partly cloudy (mostly along the shoreline) with sunny skies by the afternoon, temps in the mid-upper 60s and South winds at 5-10mph.  I'm going to say that we'll have a repeat of yesterday with sunshine with temps getting in the 70s again.  I'm just putting that out there as it's my gut feeling.  Tonight... clear, temps in the upper 40s and South winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... partly sunny, temps around 60° and Southerly winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow night... mostly cloudy with foggy conditions, temps in the low-mid 50s and S-SW winds at 10-20mph.  Thursday... 80% chance of rain, a steady rain later in the day, temps near 60° dropping to the mid-40s in the afternoon, winds out of the W-NW at 15-25mph.  Thursday night... cloudy giving way to clear conditions overnight, temps in the low-30s and NW winds at 10-15mph.  It was last October that we saw 70° temperatures so yesterday was not only an unexpected surprise, but a wonderful gift of beautiful, sunny, warm, island weather that Wildwood does very well. It's days like these that being down the Shore is even more of a gift that I'm grateful for. Who knows... with some luck we just might see it all happen again today! Spring is just 10 days away.  Oh... my Chives and Spring bulbs have broken through the ground surface; a sure sign that Spring has sprung here on the island!

Another Gray One

This Morning's webcam beach shot - WW

Mornin'!  It's 44° in Wildwood NJ.  Breezes to note are out of the E-NE at 1-2mph.  I felt no breeze when stepping outside.  It's clear but hazy.  The moon has a haze or ring around it signifying its light refracting through high-altitude, thin ice crystals in the clouds often indicating moisture in the upper atmosphere (I'm thinking fog).  Ms Sun's going to have this haze in the sky too when she rises. It'll be a mostly cloudy day with some morning, hazy sunshine then fog off and on, temps in the low-50s and E-SE winds at 5-10mph.  Tonight... cloudy / foggy, temps in the low-40s and S-SW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... foggy, becoming partly cloudy later in the day, temps in the low-mid 50s and South winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow night... partly cloudy, temps in the upper 40s and South winds at 5-10mph.  Wednesday... foggy, temps in the mid-upper 50s and South winds at 10-20mph.  Wednesday night... 30% chance of rain showers, temps in the low-50s and S-SW winds at 10-20mph.

Mornin'!  It's the beginning of Daylight Savings Time and we're an hour ahead this morning.  It's 47° in Wildwood NJ.  We're under mostly cloud cover but Ms Sun's breaking through some of those clouds along the shore line creating a perfectly lovely and colorful seascape.  Winds are out of the SW at 8-11mph.  We're still in the "patchy fog" weather as this morning and this afternoon will have partly cloudy / partly foggy conditions, temps in the upper 50s and SW winds at 10-20mph.  There's a 70% chance of rain showers this afternoon.  Tonight... mostly cloudy, temps in the low-40s and West winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... mostly cloudy skies, temps in the low-50s and winds light and variable.  Tomorrow night... foggy, temps in the low-40s and winds light and variable.  Tuesday... clouds and fog again, temps in the low-50s and Southerly breezes at 5-10mph.  Tuesday night... foggy, 43° and SW breezes at 5-10mph.

Sunshine On March 11th

Mornin'!  It's 44° in Wildwood NJ.  There's 95% humidity in the air.  We're gray and damp and still on meltdown mode with a damp, raw atmosphere surrounding us along with the sound of dripping from trees, downspouts etc. when stepping outside.  Winds are barely there out of the West at 3-5mph.  It'll be another gray, cloudy day with 25% chance of a rain shower, temps in the upper 40s and winds light and variable.  Tonight... 25% chance of rain, fog, and dampness everywhere, temps in the upper 30s and winds light and variable.  Tomorrow... 25% chance of rain, cloudy with fog, temps in the mid-40s and East winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow night... cloudy with occasional rain showers, 50% chance of rain, temps in the upper 30s and NE winds at 10-15mph.  Friday...  cloudy, 40% chance of rain, temps in the low-40s and NE winds at 10-20mph.  Friday night... cloudy, 25% chance of rain, temps in the upper 30s and E-NE winds at 10-15mph.  Saturday... foggy, temps in the upper 40s and S-SE winds at 10-15mph.  Sunday... cloudy with 40% chance of rain, temps in the low-50s and W-SW winds at 10-15mph.  It appears this damp, gray weather will continue right on through until next Wednesday.
