Full "Super" Moon Wednesday




Mornin'!  It's 63° in Wildwood NJ.  Breezes are out of the SW at 10-15mph with hazy, cloudy conditions.  Ms Sun's up but is making every effort she can to shine through the haze. There's more clouds than clear sky up there at the moment, but I just got a big burst of sunshine in the front porch windows.  The briny sea air is lovely and the seagulls could vouch for me as they're all over the neighborhood laughing and making their presence known.  It's the Full (Super) Moon today and the Tides will be much higher than normal.  You'll definitely be seeing sea water seeping onto the island in low-lying areas during high tide times.  And, remember that the ocean tides and the marsh (back bay) tides are an hour apart.  The Marsh high tide is always an hour later.  Be aware of where you drive or park as sea water is extremely corrosive to the undercarriage in vehicles.  Expect a mostly cloudy day with peeks of sunshine.  Temps will get up into the 70s (probably the mid-70s) with S-SW winds ramping up even more at 15-25mph.  Tonight... 40% chance of scattered showers and/or thunderstorms early, then partly cloudy after midnight.  Those storms by the way, could contain very strong, gusty winds.  Temps will drop down to the mid-60s tonight.  W-SW winds are too (at 15-25mph +gusting).  Tomorrow... a bit of cloud cover to kick off the morning, giving way to mainly sunny skies with temps tapping 80° and W-NW winds at 10-15mph.  So, let's get the weekend forecast (as of now) out there.  It's not that good.  But, Memorial Weekend is always a hit or miss and can go from cold and raw to warm and lovely.  2021's Memorial Day Weekend Weather: Friday is partly cloudy to start and 40-50% chance of rain by the afternoon and a high of 65°; Saturday is cloudy with 50% chance of rain and a high of 60°; Sunday is 30% chance of rain and very windy and a high of 63°; Monday is 20% chance of rain with a high of 65°.  At this time, it's looking like a "miss", but ya never know!  Those visiting could very well get some seashore action in between the clouds, winds and raindrops.  Fingers crossed!
