Unsettled Weather Ahead - Keep Your Eye On The Sky

This Morning's Webcam Shot - North WW
Mornin'!  It's 75° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 96% with a dewpoint of 73°.  Winds are barely there out of the West at 2-3mph.  It's cloudy and gray.  All the various weather forecasts I've checked for Wildwood have their own take on what kind of weather that's happening today.  I'd say to keep your eye on the sky today as some say 60% chance of rain while others say 15% chance of rain.  One thing seems to be unanimous... it'll be a partly to mostly sunny with clouds in the mix.  Temps in the mid-80s and SW winds becoming South at 5-10mph.  It seems that most said the rains will come later today into tonight.  As for tonight... partly cloudy, 30% chance of rain, temps in the mid-70s and SW winds at 5-10mph.  Oh, we had lightning and thunder late last night but received not a drop of rain.  All the weather reports this morning stated that there was torrential rains and flooding all around us.  For tomorrow...partly cloudy early, scattered thunderstorms developing in the afternoon, temps  in the mid-80s and S-SW winds at 10-20mph. Chance of rain is 50%.  Tomorrow night... cloudy with 25% chance of rain, temps in the upper 70s and SW winds at 10-20mph.  Thursday... starting out cloudy becoming partly sunny, temps in the upper 80s and SW winds at 10-20mph.  Thursday night... partly cloudy, a slight chance (15%) of a rain shower, temps in the mid-upper 70s and W-SW winds at 10-15mph.

Decent Monday Down The Shore

Mornin'!  It's 78° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 91% with a dewpoint of 73°.  We have blue skies and sunshine this morning and it's feeling warm and humid outside with barely a breeze (South at 2-3mph).  We're going to have clear skies until later this morning when we'll have a mix of sun and clouds.  There's a very slight chance (15%) of a passing stray shower and/or thunderstorm later this afternoon.  According to this morning's Doppler, I'd say that Cape May bubble will save us from any of that.  Today's temps... low-mid 80s with winds out of the South at 10-15mph.  Tonight... clouds will take over the skies with 70% chance of rain developing later tonight.  Temps will drop into the mid-70s with S-SW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... rain (60% chance) early with sunshine by mid-day, temps in the low-80s and S-SW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow night... partly cloudy, temps in the mid-70s with S-SW winds at 5-10mph.  Wednesday... starting out mostly sunny and warm with the chance (40%) of scattered rain showers and/or thunderstorms in the afternoon, temps in the low-mid 80s and SSW winds at 10-20mph.  Wednesday night... partly to mostly cloudy, 40% chance of rain, temps in the upper 70s and SW winds at 10-20mph.

Unsettled "Full Moon" Thursday

Mornin'!  It's 74° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 96% with a dewpoint of 73°.  Winds are out of the SW at 5-7mph.  It's gray and damp.  Ms Sun's up there somewhere but the clouds have control of what's happening in the sky.  We've been watered again with some major rain downpours and storms beginning late last night into the overnight.  I'd say we're rather soggy this morning.  Lot's of thunder and strobe lightning last night.  It's the Full Moon today aka The Buck Moon.  It's called that because the antlers of male deer (bucks) are in full-growth mode at this time as they shed and regrow their antlers each year producing larger and more impressive antlers as each year comes and goes. If we're lucky, we could see that moon rise tonight around 8:45PM.
For today, it'll be a mostly cloudy day with scattered rain and thunderstorms. Chance of rain today is 60%.  This afternoon those thunder-boomers are on tap with some storms containing intense gusty winds.  Temps will be around 80° with very humid conditions and SW winds at 5-15mph.   Tonight... still mostly cloudy and humid, 25% chance of rain and even a stray thunderstorm is possible.  Temps will drop to where they are now... low-mid 70s and S-SW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... cloudy start becoming partly cloudy with peeks of sunshine. There's a slight chance (15%) of a stray shower, temps around 80° with E-NE winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow night... partly cloudy, humid, temps in the mid-upper 70s and East winds at 5-10mph.  Saturday... partly sunny, temps in the low-80s and E-NE winds at 5-10mph.  Saturday night... partly cloudy, temps in the mid-70s and East winds at 5-10mph.  Sunday... sunny with a few clouds in the mix, temps in the low-mid 80s and East winds at 10-15mph.  Sunday night... clear, temps in the mid-70s and SE winds at 5-10mph.

Unsettled Weahter Ahead With A Flood Watch Posted Today Until 2AM

Mornin'!  It's 76° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 91% with a dewpoint of 75°.  Winds are barely there out of the West at 3-7mph.  It's gray and overcast as Ms Sun has some thick cloud cover to deal with.  We had those intense thunderstorms last night and came out unscathed thankfully.  We were watered nicely without flooding or any damage.  The strobe-lightning show was very impressive as was the shelf cloud traveling over us.  As for today... unsettled.  Expect clouds now, becoming partly sunny followed by partly to mostly cloudy skies, scattered rain showers and/or thunderstorms this afternoon (40% chance).  Storms may contain intense gusty winds.  Temps will be in the mid-80s (we reached a scorching 95° yesterday), with winds out of the SW at 10-15mph.  Tonight... 80% chance of rain and thunderstorms.  There's a potential for heavy rain bringing with it a "flood watch" today and tonight as the high tides are higher than normal with that Full Moon tomorrow.  Tonight's temps... mid-70s with SW winds at 10-15mph.  1-2 inches of rain is expected.  Tomorrow... partly to mostly sunny with the scattered thunderstorms in the morning (40% chance), temps near 80° and S-SW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow night... 50% chance of rain and/or scattered thunderstorms, cloudy overnight, temps in the mid-70s and SW winds at 5-10mph.  As for this coming weekend including Friday... 30% chance of rain showers, temps around 80° and SE winds at 5-10mph; Friday night... clouds from time to time, 25% chance of rain, temps in the low-mid 70s and E-SE winds at 5-10mph.  Saturday will have a mix of sun and clouds, 25% chance of a stray shower or storm, temps around 80° and East winds at 5-10mph.  Saturday night... mostly clear, temps in the low70s and East winds at 5-10mph.  Sunday... a few clouds early, otherwise mostly sunny, temps around 80° and E-SE winds at 10-15mph.  Sunday night... partly cloudy, temps in the low-mid 70s and S-SE winds at 10-15mph.  As for this Flood Watch that's posted today until 2AM tomorrow... know your low-lying areas and areas that are prone to flooding.  Don't drive through flood waters.  Know your "high" tide times and remember that the back of the island (bay side / marsh side) is always an hour later than the ocean's high tide.  Be safe out there!
