April's Bidding Adieu

This Morning's WebCam - North Wildwood

Mornin'!  It's 63° in Wildwood NJ.  There's a "gale warning" posted... "Mariners should remain in port, alter course and/or secure vessels for severe conditions".  This is how April's saying "farewell". We're currently under partly cloudy skies.  I'd say most of the cloud cover is over the ocean side of the island and blocking Ms Sun's rise yet making for a beautiful (breezy) start to the day.  The bay side... partly cloudy but the clouds are currently opening up and providing clear blue skies.  But, the main attraction this morning is the wind... it's windy as hell.  Winds are out of the W-NW at 25-30mph +gusting.  I woke to an incredibly huge bang which was one of my porch chairs being turned over by the winds.  The winds are howling... literally "howling" as they blow down the streets and over my house.  They're going to be howling all day and night into tomorrow afternoon.  Strap in and put the hairspray away.  It'll be a mostly sunny day with temps nothing like yesterday... we hit 83°.  Today... we'll be lucky to see 68°.  W-NW winds are staying checked in at 20-30mph +gusting.  Tonight... partly cloudy, low of 46° and W-NW at 25-35mph +gusting.  Tomorrow... sunny, high of 62° and W-NW winds at 20-30mph.  Sunday... partly sunny, temps around 70° and W-SW winds at 15-20mph.  Until next year April, see ya on the other side!

Unsettled Weather Today

Mornin'!  It's 67° in Wildwood NJ.  We're headed into an unsettled day.  We're under thick cloud cover with Ms Sun nowhere to be found. She's obviously hiding behind them.  Breezes are very light out of the W-SW at 3-5mph.  There are rain showers all around us but it's dry here at the moment.  Humidity's 80% with a 60° dewpoint.  Expect scattered rain showers and/or thunderstorms today (80% chance).  We may even see a  peek or two of sunshine here and there but it'll be mostly cloudy day.  Temps will be tapping 80° though!  We haven't had temps in the 80s since last June.  W-SW winds at 10-15mph are on the schedule. Tonight... mostly cloudy, 58°, a chance of rain showers (60%) and W-SW winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... mostly sunny, but windy (W-NW at 20-30mph+gusting) and a high of 68°.  Saturday... mid-60s and sunny.  Sunday... might be tapping 80° again with partly sunny skies.

Mix Of Clouds And Sun

Mornin'!  It's 62° in Wildwood NJ.  Yes!  You can only imagine how the island birds are displaying their pleasure!  So much "bird happiness" in my neck of the "woods" with loud chirping, squawking, cawing, peeping etc.  It's so beautiful this morning and the birds are only enhancing the start to the day.  Ms Sun's shining through the milky clouds and the breeze is light out of the W-SW at 3-8mph.  It certainly won't be as warm as the mainland or Philly today (they're temps will be near 90°) but it'll be perfectly lovely and much cooler here down the Shore.  Expect a mix of clouds and sun with a high of 76°!  W-SW winds are also in the mix at 10-15mph.  By this afternoon, it'll be partly cloudy and by this evening, mostly cloudy.  Tonight's temps will be where they are now... low 60s.  SW winds will be ramping up at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... cloudy, upper 60s, SW winds at 10-20mph and 20% chance of rain by late in the day.  Friday... waking to rain, cloudy with gusty winds.  At this time, the weekend's looking sunny albeit cooler.  It'll be perfect, sunny weather Saturday for Wildwood Crest's Borough Wide Yard Sale!

Beautiful Tuesday

Mornin'!  It's 49° in Wildwood NJ.  It's sunny and bright with light breezes out of the SE at 4-6mph.  Ms Sun crossed the horizon about a half hour ago.  A beauty is on tap with lots of sunshine, high of 68° and S-SE breezes at 10-15mph.  Tonight, clouds roll in with clearing later in the evening.  Low around 57° and S-SW breezes at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... cloudy in the morning, the partly cloudy in the afternoon.  Temps will be in the low-70s!  SW winds will be more blustery than today at 10-20mph.  Caught the moon rise last night and it didn't disappoint.  I'm always grateful to see it.  I'm not sure if we'll see it tonight due to cloud cover.  Remains to be seen!

Full "Pink" Moon

Mornin'!  It's 47° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's with us this morning.  She's been over the horizon for over a half an hour already.  Breezes are out of the NW at 15-20mph.  Birds are making their presence known again as they're chirping and tweeting and hooting and cawing and squawking and laughing and some would say "disturbing the peace".  I would say "bringing the sounds of Spring" to the quietness.  I love it.  It'll be a beauty today.  Expect plenty of sunshine, high of 60° with NW winds at 15-25mph.  Tonight... a few passing clouds, low around 48° and NW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... a few early clouds but another mostly sunny day with high in the mid-60s and not as blusterly with S-SE breezes at 10-15mph.  Friday looks like the next day for rain.  The Full Moon is today and we should be able to catch it rise without clouds interfering this evening.  It's known as the Pink Moon and will also be a spectacular supermoon!  There are two supermoons this year with the first occurring tonight and the second next month.  Supermoons are said to appear bigger (7%) and brighter (15%) than your average full moon as it is as close to the earth as it can be.  The reason this moon is "pink" is due to the time of year... when certain wildflowers, creeping pink phlox and moss pink phlox are all blooming.  The moon won't actually have any appearance of being pink but will begin rising with its usual gold color turning to bright white while gliding overhead.  It's time to howl!

Nicely Watered

Mornin'!  It's 51° in Wildwood NJ.  Wow, the seagulls are happy this morning.  They're screeching and cackling all around the neighborhood.  It's probably due to the Saturday night baths they all received. We had a steady, somewhat heavy rain all night long. Now, the rain seems to be out of here.  We had an excellent watering and are a big soggy at the moment but the dry out has begun.  It's currently cloudy with winds out of the N-NW at 15-20mph.  Today, expect cloudy skies in the morning, becoming partly cloudy this afternoon with a slight chance of a rain shower.  Temps will be in the low-60s with blustery winds out of the N-NW at 15-25mph.  Tonight... partly cloudy with clouds giving way to clear skies overnight.  Temps will drop down into the mid-40s with NW winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday are all just about the same weather... partly sunny with temps in the low-60s.  The Full Moon is tomorrow and if lucky, we could see a moon rise tonight (only without the clouds interferring).

Last Weekend Of April

Mornin'!  It's 47° in Wildwood NJ.  We've got a beauty this morning with clear skies, light breezes out of the West at 4-7mph and Ms Sun just crossing the horizon as I'm typing away.  The gulls are all laughing and cackling in the neighborhood and the aroma of the briny sea is in the morning, crisp air.  It's just a perfect Spring morning down the Shore this start to the last weekend of April.  We're going to have a mix of clouds and sun this morning as clouds are due to roll in and completely take over the skies by afternoon.  Temps will get into the low 60s with SW winds at 10-20mph.  Tonight... periods of rain will begin late as temps drop into the low-50s and winds shift from the SW to the SE at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... rain early, then a mix of clouds and sun as temps get up into the low-mid-60s.  Winds will be blustery out of the N-NW at 15-25mph.  Monday... sunny with temps in the low-60s and not as blustery as this weekend.  Oh, keep in mind that the full moon is Monday and you know the drill by now... the tides will be much higher than normal so be aware of low-lying areas as rainfall + full moon high tides = tidal flooding.  Know your high tide times and don't drive through flood waters as it's salt water and does cause damage to the undercarriage of vehicles.  There will be plenty of nice weather moments this weekend so get out and enjoy!  Happy Weekend!

A Breezy Beauty Is On Tap

Mornin'!  It's 45° in Wildwood NJ.  We've got Ms Sun up and shining down.  W-NW winds are still hanging out but "only" at 14-17mph.  It'll be a lovely, breezy Spring day down the Shore with plenty of sunshine, high near 60° and West winds at 15-25mph.  Tonight... some clouds will give way to mainly clear skies overnight, low around 49° and W-SW winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... partly cloudy in the morning giving way to cloudy skies by the afternoon, high near 60° and S-SW winds at 10-20mph. Tomorrow night... rainy (50-70% chance) and windy.  Sunday... rain (100% chance) in the first half of the day and still breezy with Ms Sun checking in by late afternoon with temps still in that 60° range.

Earth Day

Mornin'!  Happy Earth Day!  It's 39° in Wildwood NJ.  It's clear.  Ms Sun's up (thank goodness). Winds are out of the W-NW at 20-25mph +gusting making a windchill of 29°.  Winter has returned!  It feels brutal with those whipping, biting winds.  I covered outdoor young plants as well as filled the laundry room with more plants before turning in last night. I think we'll be alright especially with Ms Sun warming us.  We're supposed to get temps into the low-mid 50s today but those relentless, annoying, cold winds out of the W-NW are staying checked in at 20-30mph +gusting making it feel colder than it is.  Tonight... clear to partly cloudy with temps in the low-40s and W-NW still hanging around at 15-25mph.  Tomorrow... sunny with a few afternoon clouds and a high near 60° and West winds at 15-25mph.  As for this weekend... Saturday starts out partly clear becoming overcast by afternoon and periods of rain by evening.  Some rainfall could be heavy.  Sunday... morning rain becoming cloudy by the afternoon and clear by evening.  Take time today to think about this beautiful world we share and perhaps do something to help Mother Earth along.  Something like begin using reusable bags, bottles, straws etc.  Or, plant a tree.  Or walk around your property or neighborhood and collect trash.  Living on an island and seeing relentless trash and/or plastics knowing they're eventually headed for the ocean or bay is so frustrating and sad.  I truly do my best to collect what I can.  Today's the day (especially with these winds) to pick up anything you see littering the earth.

Gale Warnings Posted This Evening Until Tomorrow Evening

Today's Webcam Shot - North Wildwood

Mornin'!  It's 53° in Wildwood NJ.  We're under clear, dawn skies with breezes out of the S-SW at 15-20mph.  There's a thin line of clouds along the horizon as Ms Sun's about to present herself and paint the sky as only she can do.  It's one of those stunning Spring mornings down the Shore.  It's on the chilly, breezy side but it's all about that salty, briny air, the island birds loudly displaying their happiness and of course Ms Sun.  Regrettably it's all going to change for a short period of time beginning later this afternoon.  Today's weather has many layers.  First, this glorious morning with temps rising into the low 60s this afternoon; then, gusty winds enter the scene.  Storms are due in this afternoon as well as some may contain thunder, lightning, hail and gusty winds (gusts out of the SW) of up to 35mph. Chance of rain... 80%.  There's a Gale Warning posted from 6pm today until 6pm tomorrow.  This storm system will be bringing along much colder temps.  By tonight we'll see the thermometers drop to under 40° with a wind chill of 29° overnight.  Speaking of overnight, expect winds to increase even more with 40+mph gusts.  Strap down.  Tomorrow... sunny, high near 55° with very blustery winds (25-30mph +gusting) and tomorrow night... temps around 40° with those damn West winds still bringing that March feel over the island... 30mph gusts.  Friday... sunny with temps tapping 60° and finally calmer winds (still breezy but calmer).  At this time, the weekend's looking wet... Saturday night rains and Sunday morning/afternoon rains.  After all, it is the last weekend in April... and you know what April showers bring.  I say bring it!

Spring-time Stunner

North Wildwood - Seaport Village Pier - 2008

Mornin'!  It's 48° in Wildwood NJ.  It's a beauty!  Ms Sun just rose over the horizon and the sky is cloudless and perfect for the morning glow.  Everything's turning bright yellow outside.  Sea breezes are light out of the W-SW at 4-6mph.  There's a layer of morning dew on everything as the island birds and seagulls chirp, laugh and cackle.  It'll be a Spring stunner today... abundant sunshine, temps in the low-60s and S-SW winds at 15-20mph.  Tonight... clear, low of 54° with South winds kicking up at 20-25mph.  Tomorrow... a totally different animal... partly cloudy during the morning giving way to dark, ominous cloud cover, rain, thunderstorms and gusty winds by the afternoon some as strong as 20-30mph +gusting.  Temps will be tapping 60°.  Chance of rain tomorrow... 90% chance.  Thursday... waking to the chill covering the island, with a mostly gray day and blustery winds sustained at 25mph with temps barely tapping 50° feeling like low-40s with a windchill!  There should be no windchills in April!

A Monday Mix

This Morning's Webcam Shot-North Wildwood

Mornin'!  It's 51° in Wildwood NJ.  We're under partial cloud cover. Ms Sun rose only minutes ago and between the cloud cover and the bright morning sunrise, we're seeing some extraordinary colors in the sky.  Not much in breezes... SW 1-3mph.  It looks like we could get rain today into this evening with 60% chance on all the weather forecasts I've reviewed.  Expect a partly cloudy day with occasional rain showers beginning later this morning.  Temps will be in the upper 50s with SW winds at 5-10mph.  Tonight... partly cloudy as this rain system clears out, upper 40s and W-SW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... mainly sunny, high around 62° and blustery with S-SW winds at 10-20mph.  Wednesday... looks like a stormy afternoon.

Lovely Sunday

Mornin'!  It's 43° in Wildwood NJ.  Another beautiful start to the day.  We've got clear skies except for right along the horizon making the sunrise time a bit later than expected.  But, as Ms Sun's breaking through those clouds it's all looking quite spectacular.  Winds are light out of the W-NW at 3-5mph.  If you're lucky enough to be watching this morning unfold, you're lucky enough.  It'll be a sunny day with high of around 60°.  Winds will be out of the West at 10-15mph.  Tonight... some clouds begin to filter in as it'll be partly cloudy with temps around 50° and S-SW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... partly to mostly cloudy with a slight chance of a rain shower (20% chance) and temps around 60° with S-SW winds at 5-10mph.

Mornin'!  It's 47° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's up and shining brightly.  Breezes are out of the NW at 10-12mph.  It's a bit chilly but lovely as well with sea air wafting and seagulls yapping.  It'll be a pretty weekend beginning with this wonderful sunshine (some clouds are in the mix today) and temps in the upper 50s / low 60s.  W-NW winds will be kicking up a bit at 10-20mph.  Tonight... partial cloud cover, low around 48° with W-SW breezes at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... sunny, high of 61° with West winds at 5-10mph dropping down to 50° by tomorrow night.

TGIF

Mornin'!  It's 46° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's up and shining brightly!  Breezes are a bit stiff... NW at 10-20mph.  It's going to be a blustery day with partly sunny skies, high of 59° and 20-30mph winds from the W-NW.  I wouldn't count on the hairspray today.  Tonight... temps down to where they are now... mid 40s with W-NW winds at 10-20mph and a few clouds in the starlit sky.  Tomorrow... a repeat of today... lots of sunshine, upper 50s and W-NW winds at 10-20mph.  Sunday... another repeat but without the blustery winds.  Monday... a bit of cloud cover with a 20% chance of a shower and still not blustery.  It was 3 months ago this week that Freddy left us.  It's become easier and easier adjusting to his absence but the pain of losing him still pops up when you least expect it and boy does it take a good stab at you. It was such a fun 8 years with him.

The Titanic Compared To Today's Cruise Ship

Mornin'!  It's 51° in Wildwood NJ.  We're under thick cloud cover and wet surfaces from the overnight and this morning's rains.  Everything got a good watering and we're in the damp, raw and chilly mode.  Breezes are minimal out of the E-NE at 3-6mph.  It'll be generally cloudy today with a slight chance of rain showers before the afternoon (40% chance).  Temps will be tapping 60° with W-NW winds at 5-10mph.  By this evening, we might see Ms Sun setting as the clouds continue to filter out.  Tonight... still some leftover clouds, temps down into the mid-40s and NW winds ramping up at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... Ms Sun returns!  It'll be warmer with a high of 60° but windy with W-NW winds at 15-25mph +gusting.  The weekend's looking good... sunny with seasonable temps (mid-upper 50s) and not as blustery as Friday.  Somehow, I always remember the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic.  It was 109 years ago last night (11:40pm) that the enormous ship ran into an iceberg on its very first voyage and sunk (less than 3 hrs later) the morning of April 15th (2:20am) with over 1,000 passengers still on board.  Over 1500 souls lost their lives to that fateful ocean cruise.  The ocean water was 28°.

Cloudy Start - Sunny Finish

Mornin'!  It's 47° in Wildwood NJ.  Breezes are out of the N-NE at 9-12mph.  We're under cloud cover again but this morning the clouds are breaking up here and there.  You can see what leftover clouds we had from yesterday and overnight are beginning to show signs of blue sky.  The forecasts are saying mostly cloudy early, then sunshine by this afternoon.  As the sun begins to warm the island, temps will rise up a bit and be in the low-mid 50s with E-NE winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... mostly clear as the sky prepares us for a decent sunset, mid-40s and S-SW breezes at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... clouds formulate again and cover the skies by the afternoon. There's 40% chance of rain.  Temps will just about tap 60° with S-SW winds at 10-20mph.  This next rain system will head right into Thursday afternoon but we actually could see the sun set by evening.

Gray Monday

Mornin'!  It's 49° in Wildwood NJ.  We're under thick cloud cover with not a chance of any morning sunrise.  Breezes are out of the N-NE at 10-15mph.  It's raw, chilly with that ominous feel.  Yesterday morning, we had heavy fog, but today it's only cloudy.  Late yesterday morning, we had Ms Sun break through and provide us a warm, sunny day.  Not sure if that will happen again today but most forecasts I've checked reported a gray day with thick cloud cover and a 20% chance of rain showers.  Ms Sun might break through this afternoon (according to one forecast).  Temps will be in the low-mid 50s with stiff N-NE winds at 15-25mph.  Tonight... mostly cloudy, 40% chance of rain, low around 45° and NE winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... partly sunny / partly cloudy day with temps in the mid-50s and NE winds at 10-15mph.  Wednesday... we could see rain showers by the afternoon. Thursday... looks like a rainy day.  Friday... a slight chance of rain.  It's looking like April is showing her true colors this week.  Anything can change when it comes to the weather. You just never know.

Mornin'!  It's 55° in Wildwood NJ.  It's raining lightly with winds out of the E-SE at 8-10mph.  The light rain will continue until early afternoon (90% chance) and taper off as it'll develop into a mostly overcast and cloudy day.  Temps will tap 60° with SW winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... scattered rain showers return and thunderstorms are on the weather map (50% chance) with temps dropping to 50° and E-NE winds at 5-10mph.  It'll rain overnight into Monday with showers in the very early morning hours and a cloudy day on tap for tomorrow.  We should peeks of sun in the afternoon but it'll be breezy with N-NE winds at 15-25mph as temps in the mid-50s will feel much cooler I'm sure.  Ocean breezes aren't feeling refreshing yet.  The new moon is today creating much more higher than normal "high" tides.

Mornin'!  It's 55° in Wildwood NJ.  It's sunny with a light breeze out of the E-SE at 7-9mph.  We've got cloud cover on the West side of the island and sunny skies on the East side.  It appears as though this cloud mass is moving northeast.  It's supposed to be generally cloudy today which would indicate that this mass of clouds is heading right for us.  Remains to be seen.  Expect a partly to mostly cloudy day with temps in the upper 50s / low 60s and SE winds at 5-10mph.  Tonight... cloudy with occasional showers (60% chance), temps in the low-50s, S-SE winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... rain (80% chance) but ending early with breaks of sun in the afternoon.  We could even see (and hear) a thunderstorm.  Temps will be tapping 60° with S-SE winds at 10-15mph.  Monday... mostly to partly cloudy with a high of 56°.

A Mostly Cloudy Friday

Mornin'!  It's 48° in Wildwood NJ.  We're under partial cloud cover which is providing Ms Sun another picturesque sunrise in less than a half an hour.  The sky along the horizon is already painted with many shades of pastel colors.  Breezes are out of the East at 5-8mph.  A mass of unsettled, possibly wet weather is headed in our direction from the South.  Later today, a stray shower or thunderstorm is possible (25% chance) and by tonight... 75% chance.  Expect a  mostly cloudy day with the possibility of light rain and a high of 55°, with E-SE winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... rain showers and possibly thunderstorms with a low of 51° and E-SE winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... showers in the morning then cloudy in the afternoon with a high of 60° and SE winds at 10-15mph (50% chance of rain).  Sunday... another gray day with 50% chance of rain showers.  Monday... Ms Sun begins to peek on through the leftover weekend cloud cover.   By the way, the New Moon is Sunday and already the high tides are much more swollen than normal.  Be aware of any water you may be tempted to drive through.  It's mostly likely salt water or a mix of salt and rain waters if we get heavy rains and very corrosive stuff for that vehicle undercarriage.

Spring Loveliness Continues

Mornin'!  It's 48° in Wildwood NJ.  The somewhat dark sky is turning gold as the horizon line prepares for dawn and Ms Sun who's crossing over in just about 10 minutes.  Breezes are light out of the East at 5-7mph.  It's a beautiful morning and the birds can vouch for me.   Another lovely Spring day is on tap.  Expect plenty of sunshine with temps tapping 60° and East winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... partly cloudy as some clouds roll on in.  Temps will drop down to where they are now... mid-upper 40s with E-SE winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... cloudy with a stray shower or two and even a thunderstorm is possible with temps in the mid-upper 50s and East winds at 10-15mph. At this time, it looks like the weekend will have "wet spots" with rain on Saturday morning turning to just a cloudy afternoon and evening.  Sunday's looking wet off and on throughout the day.

Today's North Wildwood Webcam Shots

Mornin'!  It's 52° in Wildwood NJ.  Breezes are out of the N-NE at 4-6mph.  Dawn is approaching.  We're under partial cloud cover as Ms Sun's working her way over the ocean's horizon.  Thanks to those clouds, we're once again having a spectacular sunrise as Ms Sun's got her color wheel painting the sky every color of the rainbow this morning.  Expect a mostly cloudy first half of the day with a 40% chance of occasional rain showers.  By sunset, the rain clouds should be gone as it's supposed to be mostly sunny this evening as Ms Sun sets and hopefully be as beautiful as her sunrise today.  Temps will be in the mid-50s today.  E-NE winds at 10-15mph are also on tap.  Tonight... clear, mid-upper 40s and East winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... sunny, mid-50s and East winds at 10-15mph.  For this weekend... looking gray and wet both days (40-50% chance of rain).

Mornin'!  It's 52° in Wildwood NJ.  Breezes are out of the North at 4-7mph.  We have some cloud cover to the South and clearer skies to the North.  Ms Sun is making her presence known along the horizon and is providing us with one of her spectacular sunrises this morning.  Once again, the birds are showing their pleasure and happiness by chirping and singing from everywhere on the island.  It's going to be a partly cloudy kind of day with a high of 65° (we reached 65 yesterday).  Winds will ramp up a bit out of the NW at 10-20mph.  Tonight... some leftover clouds, a slight chance of a rain shower, temps down into the upper 40s and winds out of the N-NW at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... clear early, partial sunshine later with a slight chance of a rain shower, high of 54°.

Easter Monday

Mornin'!  It's 48° in Wildwood NJ.  It's sunny (without a cloud in the sky) and pleasant with barely a breeze out of the NW at 4-6mph.  The birds are making their presence known and chirping happily from what seems like every nook and cranny in my neighborhood.  I think its what's making it feel so amazing outside... so many happy birds at the seashore.  I know it makes me happy.  Yesterday, we just about touched the 70° mark and today will probably do the same.  Expect plenty of sunshine, temps in the mid-upper 60s and W-NW winds at 10-20mph.  Tonight... clouds roll on through giving us a slight chance of a rain shower (15% chance) as temps drop back to the upper 40s with N-NW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... starts out with some cloud cover giving way to sunny skies by late morning / early afternoon, temps in the low-mid 60s and NW winds at 10-15mph.

Easter Weekend

Mornin'!  It's 32° in Wildwood NJ.  Breezes are light out of the NW at 5-10mph.  There's is a slight windchill of 26°.  This morning's weather has Winter all over it.  I'm surprised there's not a layer of frost on everything but there's not.  Ms Sun's up and doing her part to begin today's warm up.  Expect sunny, blue skies with some clouds in the mix.  Temps will be tapping 50° with those NW winds ramping up a bit at 10-20mph.  Tonight... considerable cloudiness, low of 43° and West winds at 5-10mph.

I took a 3 mile walk yesterday and it was brutal.  Firstly, I should have had on my winter parka with a thick wooly scarf instead of opting for my Spring jacket and light scarf.  And secondly, I felt so cold while walking under very blustery conditions and no sunshine to speak of as it became a mostly cloudy day.  I kept thinking to myself, "Why didn't I dress for Winter"?  Thankfully, my hubby was my encouragement to keep on keeping on.  I must report that for as cold as it was yesterday, the boardwalk was jumping with holiday visitors.  Lots of activity was happening as eateries were open as well as arcades and shops.  Macks, Sams, Franconis, Hot Spot, Candy Land, Fudge Kitchen, Funnel Cake Shop as well as Curley's Fries were not only drawing in the boardwalk folk but adding some great aromas to the salty air!  I'm sure we'll see even more folks today with a sunnier, warmer day ahead.  Tomorrow's weather will be beautiful with a sunny start, partly cloudy in the afternoon, tapping 60° and West winds at 10-15mph.  Monday... sunny, 60° and breezy.

April's In The House

Mornin'!  It's 75° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's up and shining brightly.  There's not a breeze to be had and it's a warm summer morning.  April Fools!!!  It's 45° with gray, misty skies, wet and drippy surfaces (from all the intense overnight rains) and breezes out of the N-NW at 20-25mph +gusting.  It's raw and damp, cold, windy and perfectly miserable.  And, that's no April Fools joke.   Expect a gray, wet morning (few rain showers due in) with clearing by this afternoon as drier air moves in on today's gusty winds.  Winds will continue out of the NW at 20-30mph +gusting.  Temps will reach the low-50s.  We'll probably see sunshine in the early evening just in time for sunset.  Tonight... a few leftover clouds with a low of 33° (no April Fools joke there either).  You might want to cover any tender, young plants outside.  NW winds will still be around tonight at 15-25mph.  Tomorrow... intervals of clouds and sun with more clouds taking over later in the day, temps around 40° and NW winds at 15-25mph.  Saturday and Sunday... sunny with temps around 50°.  Welcome April!  Your showers will hopefully bring all those May flowers!
