Current Conditions Via Webcam - North WW

Mornin'!  It's 44° in Wildwood NJ.  Winds are out of the W-SW at 5-10mph.  And, we've got cloud cover with green on the doppler meaning moisture of some sort is above us.  There's currently a 60% chance of rain continuing throughout the morning.  By 2-3pm, we should begin seeing peeks of sunshine as this morning weather system checks out.  Temps will rise into the mid-50s with W-NW winds at 10-20mph.  Tonight... partly cloudy, no rain expected but really cold with temps dropping to the mid-upper 30s and North winds at 10-20mph.  Hopefully it'll be the last time we see the 30s posted in our weather until next December.  Tomorrow... sunny, temps in the low-50s and North winds shifting to the South at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow night... partly clear, temps in the upper 40s and South winds at 15-25mph.  Wednesday... partly clear with a high of 61° and S-SW winds at 10-20mph.  Wednesday night... mostly clear, temps in the upper 40s and NE winds at 5-10mph.

Wet Sunday

Otten's Harbor Webcam - Wildwood

Mornin'!  It's 53° in foggy Wildwood.  I swear I just heard fog horns.  Just kidding as you'd really need to get near the Delaware bay to hear them.  But, we are in the soup again as it's foggy with barely a breeze.  Everything's getting watered as it's dripping wet with the humidity at 95%.  This calmness will be taken over by the winds that will be checking in any time now. Rain is also due up by this afternoon.  Temps will only rise a few degrees into the upper 50s with NW winds at 25-35mph.  Chance of rain is 70%.  Tonight... clouds begin to filter out as it'll be partly clear and cold with temps in the upper 40s and NW winds at 10-20mph. Tomorrow... intervals of sun and clouds, temps in the mid-50s and W-NW stiff winds at 15-25mph.  Tomorrow night... clear and very cold, temps in the upper 30s and North winds at 10-20mph.  You might want to cover tender, young plants outside.  Tuesday... mainly sunny, temps in the low-50s and North winds shifting to the S-SW at 10-15mph.  Tuesday night... partly cloudy turning into cloudy overnight with a slight chance of rain (20% chance), temps in the upper 40s and South winds at 10-20mph.

Gray, Cooler Saturday

Otten's Harbor - Wildwood

Mornin'!  It's 51° in Wildwood NJ.  We're in the soup with foggy and cloudy conditions.  Humidity's 98% with winds out of the E-NE at 10-15mph.  It's drippy and wet outside and 20° cooler than when I turned in last night.  Believe it or not, it was 70° at 11pm last night.  We're back in much cooler temps for a little while (at least the next week or so).  Expect a gray day with 20% chance of rain, temps in the mid-upper 50s and East winds at 10-20mph.  Tonight... 30% chance of rain with areas of fog, temps in the low-50s and SE winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... crappy with 60% chance of rain, stiff winds out of the W-NW at 20-30mph.  Temps around 60° but feeling like the upper 40s.  Tomorrow night... clear to partly cloudy, temps in the mid-40s and NW winds at 10-15mph.  Monday... intervals of sun and clouds, temps in the low-mid 50s and NW winds still stiff at 15-25mph.  Monday night... a mix of cloudy and clear skies, temps in the upper 30s and North winds at 10-20mph.

Last Of Summer For Now

This Morning's Webcam Shots - WW Boardwalk

Mornin'!  It's a balmy 66° in Wildwood NJ this early morning.  Breezes are out of the W-NW at 5-10mph and it's partly cloudy.  There's a 70% chance of a passing, isolated rain shower this morning but for the most part it'll be a mostly sunny day.  Temps will be in the low-mid 70s with W-NW winds at 10-15mph.  We just about tapped 80° again yesterday as our summer preview was fantastic!  Tonight... partly cloudy becoming overcast overnight, temps down into the low-50s and N-NE winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... a mostly gray day with 25% chance of rain, temps in the upper 50s and East winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow night... overcast, temps in the low-50s and SE winds at 10-15mph.  Sunday... a miserable day with mostly likely rain along with wind.  Expect a cooler day with 60% chance of rain, temps in the upper 50s and NW winds at 20-30mph.  Sunday night... have the blankets handy as temps will drop into the mid-upper 40s with NW winds at 5-10mph, rain clouds will check out as it'll be clear overnight.  Monday... partly to mostly sunny, temps in the low-50s and W-NW winds at 10-20mph. Monday night... partly cloudy skies, temps in the upper 30s (cover those delicate shrubs outside) and North winds at 10-20mph giving us that creepy windchill.  It's the "New Moon" today meaning it's the first lunar phase which marks the beginning of the 29 day lunar cycle when the Sun and Moon are aligned. It occurs when the Moon is positioned between the Earth and Sun, rendering it invisible from Earth.  Although we can't see the moon, it still has the same pull on our tides and you'll notice that the high tides are much higher than normal.  You may even see water seeping onto the island.  I'd think twice if considering driving through salt water.

Throwback Thursday

Trolleys in WW (circa: 1940s)

Mornin'!  It's 61° in Wildwood NJ.  It's partly cloudy with Ms Sun trying to rise and shine through it all.  She's beginning to paint the sky those lovely corals of hers.  Breezes are light out of the SW at 4-7 mph.  There are lots of island birds giving their all letting us all know of their excitement to this very lovely morning down the Shore.  It'll be a sunny start with clouds increasing this afternoon as temps rise into the mid-upper 70s.  By the way, we got to 83° yesterday!  Winds will ramp up a bit out of the S-SW at 10-20mph.  Tonight... mostly clear with some cloudiness here and there, temps in the low-60s and SW winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... partly to mostly cloudy, temps in the low-mid 70s with West winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow night... partly cloudy, temps in the low-mid 50s and E-SE winds at 5-10mph.  Saturday... mix of sun and clouds early, becoming cloudy later in the day, and a 20% chance of rain, cooler temps in the upper 50s with East winds at 10-15mph.  Saturday night... partly cloudy becoming overcast, 30% chance of rain, temps in the low-50s with S-SE winds at 10-15mph.  Sunday... 60% chance of rain showers, winds stiff at 20-30mph out of the W-NW and temps in the low-60s.  Sunday night... 25% chance of rain as clouds begin to clear out, much colder with temps in the low-mid 40s and NW winds at 10-20mph.  Monday.. except for a few afternoon clouds, mainly sunny with temps in the low-mid 50s and NW winds blustery at 15-25mph making it feel very cold in my opinion.  This time of year makes you notice how cold the ocean is (50°) and how it brings that chilly off-shore breeze with stiff winds.  Spring runs cooler here than on the mainland.

A Little Preview Of Summer

Current Conditions via WW's morning webcam

Mornin'!  A day of remembrance as the Titanic sunk today at 2:20AM in 1912.  Over 1500 lives were lost.  It's 60° in Wildwood NJ.  Sunrise is only minutes away and the sky is just lovely with all its beautiful pastel colors on the sky's (clouds) pallete just along the Atlantic's horizon.  Winds are light out of the SW at 5-7mph.  They're saying "record high temperatures" today with plenty of sunshine and temps in the mid-upper 70s.  SW winds will ramp up a bit at 10-20mph.  Tonight... a few clouds, temps where they are now... 60° and S-SW winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... intervals of sun and clouds, temps in the mid-70s again and S-SW winds will still be stiff at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow night... a few clouds from time to time, temps still around 60° throughout the night and SW winds at 10-20mph.  Friday (New Moon)... mostly sunny once we get through some early cloud cover, temps in the mid-70s and West winds at 10-15mph.  Friday night... clear, temps in the low-mid 50s and N-NE winds at 5-10mph.  As for this weekend... Saturday looks like the nicer of the two days albeit mostly cloudy with peeks of sunshine, much cooler than during this "preview of summer" week with temps around 60° and Easterly winds at 10-20mph (and a 20% chance of rain).  Sunday looks gray and windy with 70% chance of rain, temps around 60° and West winds at 15-25mph.
