See You September!

Mornin'!  It's 69° in Wildwood NJ.  It's currently sunny and breezy (East 10-15mph) this last day of September.  This year, September's been very good to us in regards to the weather.  It was near perfect in every way almost every day.  The "Jewel" truly displayed its brilliance this year.  I'm sorry to see it go that's for sure.  Hopefully, October will give us those sparkly peeks every now and then.  It'll be a fairly nice day today with a sunny start as it'll be mostly sunny this morning with clouds filtering in and increasing this afternoon.  Temps will be in the low-70s with breezes out of the East at 12-16mph.  Tonight... cloudy with temps in the low-mid 60s and E-SE breezes at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... more of the same with a mix of sun and clouds and breezes.  Wednesday will have that summery feel as it taps the 80s once again!  As we leave you in our wake... see you in September...until next year!

Friday the 13th - Harvest Full Moon - Firefighters Weekend

Mornin'!  It's 68° in Wildwood NJ.  We're gray and blustery with winds out of the E-NE at 20-25mph +gusting.  No rain but it sure looks like it might start any minute now.  Expect a mostly cloudy day with peeks of the sun if we're lucky.  Temps will hover around where they are now barely tapping 70°.  Breezes will remain stiff out of the E-NE at 25-30mph +gusting. It's a total bad hair day.  No rain posted on any forecast for today and one forecast mentioned peeks of sun this afternoon.  Tonight... mostly cloudy with temps dropping to the low-mid 60s with East winds at 15-20mph.  I doubt if we'll see that Harvest Moonrise tonight.  It seems like that happens a lot at full moon time.  It truly is a remarkable event if your timing is right and the weather is fully cooperating.  The weekend's looking "eh" with tomorrow being the better of the two days.  Saturday looks like partly cloudy, peeks of sunshine, the mid-70s with a chance of showers at night.  Sunday has a chance of showers during the day with temps tapping 80°.

Friday the 13th... mostly cloudy and gray with strong NE winds checked in all day long.  At this point, the weekend's looking 50-50 with Saturday being the better of the two days.  Saturday has some sunshine but Sunday has some storms in the first half of the day.  It all could change though.  The Firefighters are on their way this weekend.

Hump Day Mix

Mornin'!  It's 72° in Wildwood NJ.  The Weather Man on the Philly TV channel just said it's 66° in Wildwood.  Wrong.  According to my back porch thermometer... 72°.  It's partly cloudy as Ms Sun just crossed over the horizon.  She's dealing with morning cloud cover along the horizon.  Breezes are out of the S-SW at 5-8mph.  Expect a mostly cloudy morning with gradual clearing as today's temps will get up into the low-80s.  Breezes will begin out of the South at 7-10mph, then ramp up from S-SW at 10-17mph +gusting.  Early tonight... mostly clear, temps in the low-70s and breezes out of the N-NE at 10-20mph.  Late tonight... more cloud cover as there's a 30% chance of a passing shower and/or thunderstorm.  Tomorrow... afternoon rain is on the forecast... 30% chance and by the evening... 60% chance.  Friday... we'll probably be feeling the effects of Dorian... tropical storm conditions possible.  We may see heavy rain and winds up to 35mph.  The weekend at this point... looking 5-star.

Lovely Day After

Mornin'!  It's 73° in Wildwood NJ.  The overnight thunderboomers left not a cloud in the morning sky.  We had some major thunder and lightning overnight which gave us a good watering and cleansing.  It's clean and fresh outside with lots of blue sky, sunshine and much lower humidity (81%).  It's a little breezy with winds out of the N-NE at 9-12mph.  It'll be a sunny day of this first of the "off-season" with temps in the mid-upper 70s and breezes out of the E-NE switching to the East at 9-12mph by this afternoon.  Tonight... clear with temps in the upper 60s/low 70s and S-SE breezes at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... basically the same forecast with a bit more clouds in the mix.
High tide: 12:00PM

Labor Day 2019

Mornin'!  Happy Labor Day!  The vacation and summer season as we know it is over.  The children are all back to school and the Jewel has checked in here at Wildwood.  It's what we call the "off-season" as everyone checks out (at least until the weekends) as the weather provides some stunning displays of its old self.  We'll still have weekend activities and things to do at least until mid-October.  And, hopefully with that spectacular weather.  The island will now be more significantly uninhabited and quiet.  Safe travels to all returning home today!
It's 73° in Wildwood NJ.  It's almost sunny with Ms Sun trying to break through the morning cloud cover.  Breezes are light out of the S-SE at 6-9mph.  Humidity's up again... 90% with a dewpoint of 69°.  It'll be a partly sunny / partly cloudy Labor Day with temps in the upper 70s.  Humidity will make it feel like the low 80s.  Breezes will be out of the South at 10-15mph.  There's a 20% chance of rain.  Tonight... mostly cloudy with temps in the low 70s and breezes out of the S-SW at 12-16mph.  Tomorrow... 5-Star!

Well, Hello Ms Jewel!

Mornin'!  Welcome, September!  The "Jewel" has checked in!  For anyone who's never heard of it before, September (for the most part) has the most exquisite weather (aside from tropical storms or hurricanes) and is known here as "The Jewel".  Basically, the warm ocean keeps the island perfectly insulated with warmish,  (not-so-humid or autumn-like) near perfect weather conditions.  You'll find the sky to be such a vivid blue, it astounds you.  The sunrises and sunsets are more breathtaking than any other month.  And, the shoobies and most vacationers are gone as this lovely little island begins to belong to the locals again! No more 6am grocery shopping! 
It's 73° in Wildwood NJ.  It's sunny with breezes out of the E-NE at 10-15mph.  Humidity's on the low side at 70% with a dewpoint of 64°.  We're looking at another lovely day down the Shore with mostly sunny skies, temps in the upper 70s and E-NE winds at 12-16mph + gusting (pack those bungees for your beach umbrella).  Tonight... partly cloudy, temps in the upper 60s with E-SE winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... partly sunny/partly cloudy, temps in the low-70s with a 20-30% chance of showers throughout both the day and evening (just like every Labor Day).  Tuesday's looking 5-Star!  As for hurricane Dorian with its focus on the US coast, we'll be feeling the effects by the end of the week with major rain and winds (probably by Friday).
