Mornin'! And, a very Happy Birthday to my better half today! Hope it's terrific! Love you!
Mornin'! It's 58° in Wildwood NJ. We've still got cloudy skies and some leftover morning fog as breezes are light out of the East at 7-9mph. It'll be a partly sunny / partly cloudy day with a high of 64° and winds remaining out of the East at 5-10mph. Ms Sun will begin to peek through all the cloud cover but the clouds are staying checked in too. Tonight... mostly cloudy with 30% chance of showers developing later in the evening. SE winds will be checked in at 10-15mph. Tomorrow... 40% chance of rain showers with winds picking up out of the S-SE at 15-25mph and temps in the mid-upper 60s. At this time, the forecast looks like a rainy Saturday and partly sunny Sunday.
Mornin'! It's 60° in Wildwood NJ. Blog's a bit late due to a nice "sleep in late" morning. It's late for me as I'm more like a "before 6AM" kind of person. It's looking the same outside as when I turned in last night... foggy and misty with light winds out of the E-NE at 6-8mph. It's sounding like a typical Spring morning down the Shore... lots of island birds making their presence known. It appears the fog is going to stick around this morning, then turn mostly cloudy this afternoon with a high of 65° and E-NE winds at 5-10mph. Not one forecast mentioned any sunshine today but you never know when there's this much moisture in the air... it could try and burn through and shine down. Especially when everything posted is saying "mostly" cloudy today. Tonight... mostly cloudy and overcast with a 20% chance of a rain shower and temps in the mid-50s. Winds will be out of the East at 5-10mph. Tomorrow... cloudy and high near 65° with light E-NE winds. There's a 20% chance of rain showers tomorrow.
Mornin'! Happy Memorial Day! Today's blog is in honor of all those who have given the ultimate sacrifice to keep us safe and free. A heartfelt "Thank You" just doesn't seem enough as we remember you today.
It's cloudy, misty and very damp this morning with breezes out of the NE at 9-12mph. It's looking like a mostly cloudy start to the day with Ms Sun peeking in by this afternoon. Temps will be in the mid-60s with NE breezes at 10-15mph Tonight... partly cloudy with 20% chance of a shower or two (mostly near midnight) with temps dropping to the mid-50s. E-NE winds at 5-10mph will be checked in this evening. Tomorrow... beginning to clear out as the morning clouds move aside for some sunshine with temps in the mid-60s again.
Mornin'! It's 53° in Wildwood NJ. It's cloudy and breezy with winds out of the NE at 17-22mph. It's also misty and wet and you're sure to get a nice moist sloughing when stepping outside. I just noticed on my webcams that the Wildwood's season home opener for their Farmer's Market is setting up at the Byrne Plaza as I type.
Mornin'! Happy Memorial Weekend 2020! For all those who have given their lives to protect and defend our country... this weekend is the celebration of remembering your life and sacrifice as we gratefully keep you in our minds and hearts. Thank You!
Mornin'! It's 58° in Wildwood NJ! A lot is happening this early a.m. First, we've got lots of cloud cover making for a fantastic sunrise which was less than an hour ago. Ms Sun's do her best to brighten things up along the coast before the clouds take over the sky completely. Breezes are light out of the E-SE at 6-9mph. The salty seashore aroma is immediately evident when stepping outside. The island birds are making their presence known (at least all around my neighborhood). And, these clouds are insulating the sounds of the island. The birds aren't the only thing loud and clear... I can hear the roar of the ocean waves 6+ blocks away. (I always say "6+" since the actual walk is 6 city blocks then add to that the beach's width... about another block or two depending on the tides; the beach is extremely wide where I live).
Mornin'! It's 52° in Wildwood NJ. Ms Sun's been up for over an hour now but is behind a partly cloudy, hazy sky. Breezes have calmed down significantly as they're currently out of the E-NE at 10-15mph. It looks like we're going to have a mix of clouds and sun today as temps stay in the upper 50s. Winds will become brisk at 15-25mph out of the E-NE. Tonight... partly cloudy with a 20% chance of precipitation. Temps will be in the mid-50s with Easterly breezes at 10-15mph. Tomorrow... mostly cloudy with periods of light rain (80% chance). The weekend... Saturday begins with periods of rain and may have off and on showers throughout the afternoon, Sunday... cloudy and windy, Monday... starting out cloudy with sunshine coming later in the day with breezes light. New Moon is tomorrow... remember the Tides will be much higher than normal.
Mornin'! It's 52° in Wildwood NJ. It feels like 46° with the windchill. The island's still taking a beating as the winds out of the E-NE at 25-35mph +gusting have been having their way with the Coast since yesterday morning. And, they'll continue to do so until at least tomorrow. There are a list of warnings posted today... Small Craft Advisory, High Rip Current Risk and High Surf Advisory (8-10' waves). We're experiencing some pretty good beach erosion at the North end especially with high tide upon us. The ocean's rip roaring with these intense, relentless winds which are chopping away at the beach and removing all the new sand replenishment. There's a sand cliff forming once again. By the way, that "high" rip current risk impacts anyone in the ocean. It's dangerous for swimming and surfing. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water.
Mornin'! It's 54° in windy Wildwood NJ. Ms Sun's up (surprisingly and temporarily). The winds are out of the NE at 25-30mph +gusting. It feels more like 44° outside this morning. The geese were just flying over squawking when I stepped out onto the back porch to check my hanging thermometer. The local seagulls were chiming in as well. It felt good to be outside in the midst of all the island birds as well as those gusty, salty winds this early morn.
Mornin'! It's 55° in Wildwood NJ. We're under cloudy, windy, slightly wet conditions. It rained lightly very early this morning (not at the moment though) but we've got wet surfaces and moisture blowing around out there. Winds are out of the E-NE at 15-20mph. It's miserable and perfect for a Corona-Virus Monday. All Mondays should have this kind of weather. Mondays seemed even worse with picture perfect weather (especially when heading to work). It's something I've felt and said my entire life for what reason is beyond me other than just loathing Mondays the most out of all weekdays. Since retirement and now social distancing, every day of the week as well as the weekend all seem the same as they run into one another and almost seem impossible to identify at times.
Mornin'! It's 58° in Wildwood NJ. It's lovely outside. It's on the cool side. Ms Sun is shining. It's a bit breezy with those salty winds off the ocean out of the East at 10-15mph. Expect the clouds to roll on in and keep Ms Sun at bay with mostly cloudy conditions today. She'll peek through but the clouds will win out according to the forecasts I've checked out. Temps will just tap 60° with Easterly breezes kicking up at 10-20mph +gusting. There is a 10% chance of a passing shower. Tonight... mostly cloudy with a 20% chance of a rain shower. Temps will drop into the low-50s with winds out of the E-NE at 10-20mph. Tomorrow... cloudy, a high of 58° with 40% chance of rain (at least by late afternoon) as well as the winds ramping up even more out of the E-NE at 20-30mph+ gusting. By the way, this week ahead is looking miserable; not complete washouts but mostly cloudy with rain in the forecast almost everyday. Plus it'll be very windy due to this first tropical storm (Arthur) of the season off our east coast. The temps are staying relatively cooler (in the 50s) as well. Don't put the sweaters or windbreakers away yet! |

Mornin'! It's 62° in Wildwood NJ. We've got cloud cover with light breezes out of the W-SW at 8-11mph. Ms Sun rose about a half an hour ago but the clouds are the main characters this early morn.

Temps back to where they are now (low-60s) and SW breezes still checked in at a blustery 15-25mph. Tomorrow... almost the same as today but a bit cloudier and less blustery.

Mornin'! It's 38° in Wildwood NJ. Ms Sun's up and trying to warm things up as that winter feel began sneaking in during the overnight. Winds are creating havoc from the NW at 20-25mph +gusting making it feel like 29°! It's crazy out there. I covered my outdoor plants and even brought a few inside before turning in and everything appears A-OK. The parsley and cilantro are especially loving this seashore chill. Expect a mix of sun and clouds today with temps climbing and hitting the 50s. Those W-NW winds aren't going anywhere and will be checked in until tomorrow at 20-30mph +gusting. Tonight... partly cloudy, windy and temps in the low-40s. Tomorrow... sunny, temps tapping 60° with W-SW winds at 10-20mph. Monday... mostly cloudy, 20% chance of rain showers with temps in the upper 50s - low 60s. |

Mornin'! It's 51° in Wildwood NJ. Ms Sun couldn't be shining any brighter. Winds are relatively light out of the NW at 10-12mph. There's a Full Moon today with tides much higher than normal as it's high tide now (8:00am) and at least for another hour on the marsh side of the island (it's always an hour later than the ocean side). Expect a lovely sunny day with vivid blue, cloudless skies and temps in the low-60s. Winds will be out of the W-NW at 10-20mph. Tonight... a few passing clouds with temps back down into the low-50s and W-SW winds at 10-20mph. Tomorrow... early spotty clouds followed by increasing cloud cover and showers developing by the afternoon (50% chance). Temps will be like today... low-60s and breezy. The weekend looks cold and blustery on Saturday with a windchill in the low-mid 30s. Sunday looks a tad warmer in the low-50s with a windchill in the mid-40s. Guess the furnace gets fired back up this weekend! Oh... you might want to think about how you're going to cover those tiny plants and seedlings this weekend.
We're currently under cloud cover while Ms Sun is doing her best to paint the clouds . Breezes are light out of the NW at 6-8mph. Expect a mix of clouds and sun this morning giving way to a mostly cloudy day. Temps will just about tap 60° with W-NW breezes at 10-15mph. Tonight... still cloudy with 10% chance of a shower or two. Temps will drop into the upper 40s with S-SE breezes at 10-15mph. Tomorrow... more gray skies with 50% chance of rain and temps in the low-50s.
Mornin'! It's 61° in Wildwood NJ. Ms Sun is trying to break through all that leftover cloud cover this morning. Everything's soaked from the overnight thunderstorms and pouring down rains. Birds are chirping everywhere. Breezes are barely there... W-NW at 3-5mph. It's feeling humid and a bit sticky outside this morning. Expect a mostly clear day after Ms Sun makes it through these leftover clouds. Temps will just about tap 70° with afternoon winds significantly picking up out of the NW at 20-30mph+gusting. Tonight... clear to partly cloudy with temps dropping into the upper 40s and N-NW winds at 15-25mph. Tomorrow... a mix of clouds and sun in the morning followed by clouds the remainder of the day with a high of 56° and winds not as stiff as today.
Mornin'! It's 57° in Wildwood NJ. The sky is beginning to clear after some overnight-early morning rain as well as foggy mist that's been covering the island which is now dissipating thanks to Ms Sun. There's a 20% chance of a rain shower this morning as well as this afternoon. Otherwise, partly sunny today with a high near 65°. Winds will be out of the N-NWest at 10-15mph with some gusts as high as 20mph. Tonight... partly cloudy, 30% chance of showers, temps dropping to the low-50s and winds out of the West at 15-20mph. Tomorrow... a sunny day with temps in the mid-upper 60s and not as windy. Sunday... much like today with 30% chance of rain showers. So here we are in May... Happy May Day! Today is usually a public holiday celebrated by many different countries and cultures around the world... a day of unity, togetherness and rebirth. A day for everyone to celebrate life. 50 days until Summer.
