More Beautiful Weather Today

Mornin'!  It's 65° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's shining brightly.  There are no clouds in the deep blue sky and winds are out of the S-SW at 10-15mph.  I'd say it's perfectly lovely outside.  We got into the low-80s yesterday and we'll probably see that again today.  The forecast actually says it'll be in the upper 70s with plenty of sunshine and with winds ramping up out of the S-SW at 15-25mph.  Tonight... still breezy with clear skies, temps in the mid-60s and S-SW winds at 15-25mph.  Just after sunset tonight, Venus will be bright in the sky, low in the west with the crescent Moon to the left.  If you find Venus, follow an imaginary line between Venus and the Moon and extend that line upwards and you'll see another bright 'star' which is Jupiter.  If you have a clear sky, you'll no doubt see these three celestial bodies just when the sun sets. Sunset is 8:08PM.  For tomorrow... it'll be generally sunny despite a few afternoon clouds, there's a 20% chance of a stray shower or thunderstorm in the afternoon, temps will be near 80° again with S-SW winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow night... cloudy, 60% chance of rain showers, temps around 60° with SW winds shifting from the N-NE at 10-15mph.

Beautiful Sunday

Mornin'!  It's 64° in Wildwood NJ.  It's another perfectly lovely morning down the Shore.  Ms Sun's up in the clear, blue sky.  Breezes are barely there out of the West at 5-7mph.  It's quiet except for all the happy birds that seem to be reveling in all this loveliness.  It'll be a beautiful day with sunny skies, temps in the low-mid 70s and SW winds at 10-20mph.  Tonight... clear, temps in the upper 50s and S-SW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... sunny, temps in the low-70s and South winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow night... clear, temps in the low-60s and S-SW winds at 10-20mph.  Tuesday... mostly sunny with a few clouds from time to time, temps in the mid-70s and S-SW winds at 15-25mph.  Tuesday night... clear, temps in the low-60s and S-SW winds at 15-25mph.  From Wednesday 5/20 until Wednesday 5/27 there's a chance of rain for the entire week.  I truly hate to be the bearer of rainy weather during the first holiday season down the Shore, but it is what it is. I'm just the messenger. If you've got your vacation bag out and have begun planning and packing your wardrobe for Memorial Weekend, here are the stats for future weather just in case you are one of those planning a Wildwood visit.
