Mornin'! It's 47° in Wildwood. We've got heavy cloud cover this morning. It's providing insulation so the sounds of the surf crashing can be heard loud and clear and I'm 6 blocks from the beach. Sounds like rush hour traffic on a nearby highway. No breezes to write about at the moment but they're headed in this direction big time. In fact, there's a "Wind Advisory" posted today and tonight. The clouds are also going to provide moderate to heavy rain showers (with thunderstorms possible) and are due in later both this afternoon (60%) and this evening (80%). You know the drill...local flooding is possible. Today's temps will be around the mid-upper 50s as Southerly winds are heading this way at 27-37mph w/gusting. A couple forecast I've researched said peeks of sun throughout the day are a possibility. Tonight... the wicked windy weather continues... 31-47mph winds w/gusting, showers and/or thunderstorms and temps in the low 50s! High tide:8:51a.m.
Low tide:2:56p.m.
Ocean temp:39°
Sunset:5:47p.m.
FOOTNOTE: It's 3:00p.m. and there's another weather culprit we're watching for this evening. And, it's called a "low level jet" which is a fast river of air not far above the ground. According to Dan Skeldon (the expert local weather man), early tonight that low level jet will be the strongest right along the coast blowing 75mph (possibly up to 100mph) winds. Severe thunderstorms can successfully form and track across south Jersey with the potential of bringing those strong winds down to the ground. Potenially damaging wind gusts in excess of 60mph are very possible if this happens. Time to hunker down!
