Halloween And Turn Those Clocks Tonight!

 Mornin'!  Happy Halloween!  October's giving us the "Farewell" salute. It's 48° in Wildwood NJ.  It's sunny and bright with a colorful, blue sky.  Breezes are out of the N-NW at 4-8mph.  It's chilly but nice.  We're going to get up to the low-60s today with a sunshine and clouds filtering in by late this afternoon and N-NW winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... cloud cover, temps in the mid-upper 40s and winds light and variable.  Tomorrow... mostly cloudy start with partly sunny skies later in the day, temps in the low-60s and E-NE winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow night... partly to mostly cloudy, temps around 50° and winds light and variable.  Monday... mostly cloudy, temps in the low-60s and light breezes.  Monday night... a few clouds, temps in the low-50s and light winds.  Still no predictions of rain until Thursday.  Today ends "Daylight Savings Time" as we turn the clocks back before turning in tonight gaining an extra hour sleep.  Looks like we'll be having dinner in the dark again.  At least until March 14th when we turn that hour hand one hour ahead.  It's been so nice to have the lovely weather provided in October!  Even with some travel down South, (the weather was perfect there as well), by all accounts and reports I've checked, Wildwood was 5-star in the weather department this past month.  Until next year... see you on the other side!  And, Happy Halloween!

Another Nice Day Down The Shore


Mornin'!  It's 52° in Wildwood NJ.  No breezes to note as it feels like 52° outside.  It's clear and starlit.  Ms Sun isn't due up for awhile (over an hour from now).  Low tide was just over an hour ago and the first thing you notice when stepping outside is the heavy, thick, marsh smell.  That somewhat "rotten-egg" smell is caused by hydrogen sulfide gas released when bacteria break down decaying organic matter in oxygen-poor mudflats.  Just an fyi.  Expect areas of patchy fog this morning, turning into a sunny day with temps in the mid-60s.  Winds will be light and variable.  Tonight... clear, temps in the upper 50s with SW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... another sunny day, temps around 70°, with winds out of the W-NW at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow night... clear, temps in the upper 40s with North winds at 10-15mph.  Saturday... cooler with intervals of sun and clouds, temps around 60° and North winds at 10-15mph.  Saturday night... cloudy, temps in the upper 40s with light and variable breezes.  Sunday... starting out mostly cloudy with Ms Sun shining through the partly cloudy skies by the afternoon, temps around 60° and light and variable winds.  Sunday night... mostly clear, temps around 50° with light and variable winds.

Hump Day Return

This Morning's Webcam Shots - North WW
Mornin'!  "Lucy, I'm home!"  It's 51° in Wildwood NJ.  It feels like 49° with the breeze out of the NE at 6-8mph.  It's clear with a lovely sky along the horizon just brightening.  It'll feel much like yesterday with blue skies, sunny conditions, and a few afternoon (wispy) clouds.  Temps will get into the low-mid 60s with E-NE winds at 10-15mph making it feel a tad cooler.  Tonight... partly clear, temps in the low-50s and winds light and variable.  Tomorrow... sunny, temps in the mid-upper 60s and winds light and variable.  Tomorrow night... mostly clear, temps in the upper 50s and SW winds at 5-10mph.  Friday... partly cloudy, temps around 70° and W-NW winds at 10-15mph.  Friday night... clear, temps in the upper 40s and North winds at 10-15mph.  As for this weekend and Standard Time beginning with that extra hour of sleep happening, it'll be partly to mostly cloudy on Saturday with temps around 60° and North winds at 10-15mph.  Saturday night (Halloween) will be mostly cloudy with temps around 50°.  Sunday will be partly sunny, temps in the low-60s and SE winds at 5-10mph.  Just a reminder that Sunday is November 1st and clocks get turned back an hour before turning in on Saturday.  I haven't blogged about the weather here for 19 days.  But, I checked regularly and it certainly was spectacular weather here in Wildwood.  It rained for only 4 days... the 4th, 11th, 12th and 17th.  Every other day was sunny and bright with relatively mild temps.  It looks like it'll continue as we won't see cold temps or even rain until at least next Thursday.  By the way, Old Man Winter doesn't check in for 54 days (December 21st).  It feels great to be home and back on the ol' Blog and still very grateful to be here living down the Shore!

This is where yet another hiatus of my weather blog kicks off.  If you need Wildwood's weather click on "Weather - Wunderground" on the right side of my blog page under "Personal Favs". Make sure it's Wildwood NJ by typing in "Wildwood NJ" or "08260" on the search box. You'll have the most accurate weather in my opinion.  The Tides, Sunrise/Sunsets, Ocean Temp, Webcams, Doppler and everything else you need will be there.  If all goes as planned, I'll be blogging again just as Halloween approaches.  See you on the other side!
