Mornin' and Merry Christmas! Hope you were visited by Spirit of Christmas lastnight! It's currently 27° with clouds obscuring the "red" horizon; that's right..."red". And, we all know what "red sky in the morning" means. Temps will go up to the mid-upper 30's and those pesky NW winds...have turned into light breezes today at 5-10mph. Clouds will hang over the Wildwood all day with peeks of sun allowing the roar of the ocean to be clearly heard, but more importantly...bringing snow flurries throughout the day. We're not going to have a white Christmas as there's no accumulation predicted, but there's a "Winter Storm Watch" posted now! What did I tell you? Beginning late tonight, there's a 90% chance of a light dusting of snow. Then, tomorrow...a steady snowfall of 3-6 inches are predicted over the island throughout the day. The forecasters thought this "Snowball Express" might make a stop over the island Sunday night...but it looks like it's dropping by tomorrow morning and visiting the island all day.High tide:10:03a.m; Low tide:4:38p.m.; Ocean temp:39° Get the shovels and boots ready and have a wonderful Christmasday! Oh...by the way..."Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning."
A daily weather forecast of Wildwood, New Jersey. I'm a lover of the weather and more importantly the sea, sand, tides, sunrises, sunsets and moon charts. I've discovered since living here on the island (2004) how different our weather is than the mainland. Or, better yet, the Philadelphia area where I was born and raised. Lucky for me my family spent just about every summer vacationing in Wildwood. I did the same while raising my own children. I'm blessed to have been able to call it home as being "down the shore" full time is pretty amazing. People always ask, "How bad is it in the Winter?" You know what they say... "If you're lucky enough to live by the beach, you're lucky enough." As for this weather thing... I will never get used to the fact that when there's a snowstorm in Philly, it could be a misty/rainy, almost mild Winters' day in Wildwood or if there's a Nor'easter bringing Wildwood to its knees, it could be a cloudy, windy day in Philly. These towns are less than two hours apart. Since my Philly family and friends always assume that I'm having the same weather as the big city, I began blogging about Wildwood NJs weather to keep the record straight.
