We're Winding Down!

Mornin'!  It's 38° in Wildwood NJ.  It's the last one of all the Fridays for 2022.  And, it's a lovely morning albeit a wee bit frosty.  Ms Sun's about to rise over the orange/pink/coral horizon.  The sky is clear.  We're going to have plenty of sunshine with blue skies and warmish temps... mid-50s!  Winds are currently out of the S-SW at 3-5mph and will get slightly stronger at 5-10mph today.  Tonight, partly cloudy, then becoming cloudy overnight with temps around the mid-40s and Southerly winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow...mostly overcast with occasional showers  (60% chance), high of 52° and Southerly winds at 5-10mph.  Sunday (2023) will kick off the New Year with a beauty... sunny skies, high of 50° and W-NW winds at 10-15mph.  Just perfect for the Philly New Years Day Mummers parade.  By the way, it kicks off at 9am at City Hall at 15th and Market Sts and continues to South Broad all the way to Washington Avenue in South Philly!  Oh, and by the way it's the 123rd year that they've been strutting down Broad Street.  And, it's rare that you can get a mild New Years Day like this one coming up!  Being a Philly girl, I've been to many, many Mummer's Parades; too many to count and I'm a huge fan mild or icy weather!

Christmas Eve

Mornin'! It's 13° (30° colder than yesterday morning)!  Windchill is 5°!  Ms Sun's just broke through the thick cloud cover along the horizon and is shining in all the windows.  I doubt very much if we're going to feel her warmth today though.  Winter's here with a vengeance.  It was working its way here all yesterday until late afternoon when it arrived like an IndyCar.  First, it was the gusty winds and coastal flooding and snow squalls, then the frigid temps.  
For this Christmas weekend... we're going to see a mix of sun and clouds today with gusty winds (West at 20-30mph) but by this afternoon diminishing (thankfully).  Temps will be in the low-20s feeling like single digits.  Winds will be out of the West a 15-20mph.  Tonight... clear, temps around 20° with West winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... sunny, high of 32° (feeling like 18°) with those West winds at 15-20mph.  Monday... Sunny, high of 32° and W-NW winds at 15-20mph.  Merry Christmas Eve!

Christmas Eve Eve

Mornin'!  It's 44° in Wildwood NJ.  It feels like 36° due to the winds and windchill.  It's barely spitting raindrops.  Winds are still howling as they have been throughout the entire overnight.  They're out of the S-SW at 25-35mph +gusting.  It'll be a blustery first Friday of Winter.  It's also the New Moon today which has a major effect on the Tides as they'll be much higher and lower than normal.  For today... expect a mixture of rain and snow flurries this morning.  It'll then become partly cloudy this afternoon as temps begin to fall sharply after mid-day going down to 20° feeling like the teens due to these ongoing blustery winds.  W-SW winds will be blowing at 25-35mph possibly gusting over 50mph.  Tonight... windy with partly cloudy skies, temps around 13° with West winds at 25-35mph +gusting over 40mph.  Tomorrow (Christmas Eve)... partly cloudy, gusty winds again out of the West at 20-30mph + gusting over 40mph.  Temps will only be in the low-20s.  Sunday (Christmas Day) will be a sunny day, temps around 30° and much calmer winds out of the West at 15-20mph.

Mornin'!  It's 43° in Wildwood NJ.  The sunrise is happening right now.  The sky is cloud filled but Ms Sun's peeking under the curtain of clouds and painting them with all colors from the pastel color wheel.  Winds are out of the East at 10-15mph.  It's damp and a bit misty.  It'll be cloudy today with periods of rain as temps climb up to 50°.  Those East winds will ramp up to 15-25mph.  Chance of rain if 100%.  Tonight... steady rain and very windy.  Temps will drop back to the low to mid 40s.  Winds will be out of the S-SE at 20-30mph +gusting.  Rainfall will near a half an inch and will continue throughout the overnight.  Tomorrow... periods of rain early with breaks of sunshine peeking through by the afternoon.  It'll be extremely windy.  As the sky clears, temps will be in the mid-upper 40s falling into the 20s by late afternoon and with the W-SW winds at 25-35mph +gusting to up to 50mph, the windchill will be 2°!!!  Christmas Eve will be cloudy, very cold (low 20s) and still extremely windy (West winds) making it feel like 8°.  Christmas will partly cloudy with temps in the low-mid 20s and still blustery making it feel like the teens.  The New Moon is tomorrow.  With the expected rainfall and that moon treating the tides just like a full moon, be aware of tidal flooding avoiding those low-lying areas as you drive around and park.

Wednesday Winter Solstice

Mornin'!  It's 33° in Wildwood NJ.  It's Winter!!!  Well, at 4:47pm today it'll be officially winter. I wish I could say that I slept in on the shortest day of the year, but I was up super early and at the grocery store when it opened.  Just doing what's needed to beat the shopping masses.  I guess you could say it was successful.  I'm home and warm and happily having my first cup of coffee as the sunshine's on my face while I sit here typing.

It's sunny with barely a breeze coming from the N-NE at 3-6mph.  It'll be a nice, sunny day with a high of 42° and NE breezes at 5-10mph.  Tonight... clouds roll in as it'll be mostly cloudy, low of 36° and E-NE winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... 90% chance of light rain showers in the late morning turning to a steady, heavier rain in the afternoon. Grateful for none of the white stuff as most of the Country will see snow with this "bomb cyclone" storm named Elliot as it travels from the Northwest to the Plains and then South and then up to us.  Wildwood will have a rain and wind event with relatively mild temps in the low-50s with blustery East winds at 15-25mph. The rain will continue throughout Thursday night into Friday morning.  By Friday afternoon (and into Friday night), it'll be cloudy as temps begin to drop drastically into the 20s.  The W-SW winds at 25-35mph +gusting over 50mph are going to make it feel like 2° (that's two degrees).   At this time, Saturday looks to be partly cloudy, windy (West winds at 20-30mph +gusting) and cold... mid 20s.  Sunday... sunshine, temps in the mid-20s and West winds at 15-25mph.  The weekend will have some major windchill numbers in the teens and single digits.  Winter's jumping right upon us.  If you haven't dug out those hats, scarves and gloves, now would be the time.  Happy Winter Solstice!  Tomorrow daylight begins to grow longer with each passing day!  And, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the "New Moon" which is Friday.  The Tides are already showing that they're more swollen than usual during high tide.  With rain and wind driven waters, expect Coastal flooding during this winter storm the next two days.  Know your low-lying areas and be careful where you park as some streets flood majorly and don't drive through flood waters as it's very corrosive to the undercarriage of your vehicle.  Only 89 Days until Spring!

My Daughter and her Tree

Mornin'!  It's 31° in Wildwood NJ.  Feels like 23° with the wind chill.  The winds are currently out of the N-NW at 10-15mph.  It's clear with Ms Sun up and shining brightly in the clear, blue sky.  And, it's the official last day of Autumn.  Winter's-a-knocking!  Tomorrow's the first day of Winter aka The Winter Solstice (the day with the shortest amount of daylight).  And, today and tomorrow will be sunny.  Expect sunshine today with temps tapping 40° with NW winds at 10-15mph making it feel like 30°.  Tonight... clear skies, temps in the upper 20s and winds light and variable.  Tomorrow... sunny, temps in the low 40s and NE winds at 5-10mph.  This winter storm traveling across the country will be checking in here Thursday late in the day bringing rain and winds and much warmer temps (low-50s) and it will continue throughout the night into Friday.  By Friday evening, the rain will begin to head off the island but as it leaves, the frigid temps check in (mid 20s feeling like single digits with the windchill from the very blustery winds).  It's looking like an icy cold Christmas Weekend.

Mornin'!  It's 42° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's almost up as the sky is beginning to brighten.  There's just enough cloud cover to make for a spectacular sunrise this morning.  I think.  You never know.  Winds are out of the West at 10-15mph.  We're going to have a mix of sun and clouds today this last weekend of Fall.  The Winter Solstice is in 4 days.  Expect a partly sunny, blustery day with temps in the mid-40s and W-NW winds at 15-25mph making it feel like the mid-30s. Tonight... mostly clear with a few clouds, temps in the low-30s and NW winds much less intense at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... another mix of clouds and sun day with temps around 40° and those W-NW winds once again ramping up at 15-25mph.  And, it still looks we'll see sunshine at least until Thursday.

A Sunny Humpday

Christmas Past - Our Freddy

Mornin'!  It's 31° in Wildwood NJ.  It's sunny and bright.  Winds are out of the N-NW at 9-11mph.  We're in that frosty mode again this morning with the sun glistening on all the frost coated surfaces outside.  It'll be another sunny day with some clouds in the mix as temps get up to around 42° with North winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... increasing clouds as temps drop into the low-30s and NW winds become NE after midnight (5-10mph).  Tomorrow... a real crapola weather day with rain and wind (it's a great day for soup making).  Expect a rainy Thursday right into Friday morning with temps near 50° and East winds at 25-35mph +gusting.  Chance of rain if 100%. There is a chance of minor coastal flooding so be aware of the tides and low-lying areas on the island.  Tomorrow night... rain and wind (East 25-30mph +gusting). This winter storm "Diaz" will be a rain event (we could see around 1"), but bringing a pretty major snowstorm to those North and West of us.  The Pocono Mountains (4 hr drive from the coast) may get a foot of the white stuff for their skiing pleasure which has been the big story on our News stories this week. As for this coming weekend in Wildwood... mostly sunny (some clouds in the mix) with temps in the low-40s and winds that are finally simmered down.  Since the yummy "Pumpkin Bisque" just ended yesterday, the next soup for tomorrow is "Potato Mushroom"!

Mornin'!  It's 41° in Wildwood NJ.  We're under clear, moonlit and starlit skies this early morn.  Breezes are out of the N-NE at 10-15mph.  It's crisp outside and feels like 32°.  It's also very briny this morning with the fragrance of the salty sea in the cold air.  It's going to be a pleasant day with plentiful sunshine, temps near 50° and N-NE winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... beautiful clear skies, temps in the low 30s and N-NE winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... starting out with a mix of clouds and sun early, then becoming cloudy later in the day with temps around 45° and NE winds at 10-20mph.  Sunday... cloudy, with rain developing later in the day (40% chance) and temps in the low-50s.

Sun's Gonna Peek Through A Bit

This Morning's WebCam Shot - N.Wildwood

Mornin'!  It's 49° in Wildwood NJ.  We're under partly cloudy skies with that ol' full moon shining down and brightening the island in this morning darkness.  Breezes are out of the N-NW at 5-10mph.  We're most likely going to finally see Ms Sun today as areas of patchy fog and partly cloudy conditions are on tap. It will give way to thicker cloud cover by this afternoon though.  Temps will be in the low-mid 50s with N-NW breezes at 10-15mph.  Tonight... cloudy with clearing expected later in the evening.  Temps are dropping into the mid-30s with North winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... mainly sunny, temps in the upper 40s and N-NE winds at 10-15mph.  Saturday... a mix of clouds and sun with temps in the upper 40s and Sunday... gray skies, 50% chance of rain showers and temps in the low-50s.

Full Moon Hump Day

Photo: J.M.Lesko - A Virginia Beach Shot

Mornin'!  It's 55° in Wildwood NJ.  It's raining lightly with winds out of the S-SW at 5-10mph.  The island's pretty saturated with the last 24+ hours of rain.  Most of which was mist along with periods of steady rainfall.  There's a 40% chance of rain this morning as it becomes just cloudy by this afternoon.  Temps may reach 60° with those S-SW winds continuing at 5-10mph.  Tonight... cloudy with some clearing later as we might see a shower or two (20% chance) and even fog.  Temps will drop to the upper 40s with W-NW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... partly clear skies in the morning giving way to a cloudy day.  Temps will be in the mid-50s with N-NW winds at 10-20mph.  As for this weekend... Saturday will be partly sunny with cloudy skies by the afternoon and a slight possibility of light rain (15% chance) as well. Temps will be near 50°.  As for Sunday... possibility of more rain (50% chance) with temps around 50°.  Two weeks until the winter solstice (shortest day of the year and the start of the Winter season)!  It's the Full Moon today.  AKA... the Cold Moon. And here's a fun fact...  an "Occultation" is going to be happening tonight.  Around 10:15pm tonight, the full moon and Mars move close together as the Red Planet (Mars) will then disappear behind the southern edge of the moon and reappear around 11pm on the northeast side.  If not cloudy (and there's a very good chance Wildwood will be under cloud cover) we could possibly get a glimpse of it with the naked eye.

Gray Tuesday

Cape May NJ

Mornin'!  It's 54° in Wildwood NJ.  It's dark, gray and a bit misty outside. Everything's wet and drippy. Breezes are out of the S-SE at 10-15mph.  It's one of those perfect days to roll over and pull the comforter closer... thus, the late blog entry.  We're about to have a couple dreary wet days.  Time to make some time in the kitchen. Making homemade soup not to mention the Christmas cookie dough is on the activity calendar today.  Today's soup will be "Pumpkin Bisque" as the outdoor, porch pumpkins (and pumpkin seeds) got roasted over the weekend while the tree got decorated.  It's all happening.   
For the weather... expect this morning mist to turn into light rain with showers due in this afternoon.  Temps will be a tad warmer than they should be this time of year at 60° with winds ramping up out of the S-SE at 10-20mph.  Tonight... cloudy and more rain with temps in the low-50s and South winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... gray with occasional rain showers (50% chance), temps in the upper 50s and S-SW winds at 5-10mph.  Don't forget the Full Moon is tomorrow.  I'm not sure we'll see it with the wet weather settling in but it will certainly have its effect on the tides... much higher than normal.  Expect some areas to have that ol' coastal flooding.  Know those "low-lying" areas on the island and don't drive through flood waters!

Enjoy The Last Of The Sunshine Today

Wildwood Crest - Sunset Lake

Mornin'!  It's 29° in Wildwood NJ.  It's clear, starlit, moonlit and still as breezes are barely there (NE 2mph).  It's crisp and quiet with some of the briny air added to wake up the senses.  Everything's a bit frosty outside.  It'll be a pleasant autumn day with plenty of sunshine and some light clouds in the mix.  Temps will be in the low-50s with Easterly breezes at 5-10mph.  Tonight... partly cloudy skies giving way to cloudy skies late into the overnight.  There's a 15% chance of a rain shower with temps in the low-40s and SE winds at 50-10mph.  Tomorrow... cloudy start with rain showers coming in by the afternoon (80% chance).  Temps will still be in the low-mid 50s with S-SE winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow night into Wednesday... more gray sky and rain on tap.  In fact, Thursday looks to be cloudy with periods of rain in the morning and Friday looks like a total washout. But, it all can change in a blink of an eye and I'll be watching!

Rainy First Saturday In December

Mornin'!  It's 55° in Wildwood NJ.  It's raining with S-SW winds at 15-20mph.  It was the perfect morning to pull the comforter up tighter and roll over for a little extra sleep.  I actually did that yesterday too with the sun shining lol!  The scones just came out of the oven!  Today's are raisin/cranberry/orange.  They smell incredible with that fresh pot of coffee brewing.  I say... let it rain!  It'll be a mostly rainy day with windy conditions (S-SW 20-30+gusting) and mild temps... upper 50s.  It looks like the rain will be out of here by late afternoon / early evening.  Tonight... partly cloudy, temps in the mid-30s and NW winds at 15-25mph making it feel like the upper 20s (bundle up).  Tomorrow...

November's Blowing Out Of Here

This Morning's Webcam Shots - NNW

Mornin'!  Hey, November... this is it! You've done us proud as we begin to really close out Autumn.  Winter's in 21 days! It's 53° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's just crossing the horizon as the sky is once again magnificent with colorful cloud cover.  Can you say purple?  Or, periwinkle, mauve, violet, lavender, plum, mulberry, orchid, lilac, iris... should I continue?  It's just breathtaking this morning and is now beginning to turn into golds and oranges as the sunrise is happening so spectacularly thanks to those morning clouds.  The winds are another story entirely out of the S-SE at 20-25mph +gusting.  They're making the seascape change with each passing minute as the clouds are being moved around right before our eyes.  These very stiff winds will be picking up even more believe it or not.  Expect a partly sunny / partly cloudy start to the day with clouds taking over the sky and bringing rain showers by late morning becoming steady rain this afternoon.  Temps will be around 60° with S-SW winds at 25-35mph +gusting up to 50mph.  Tonight... partly cloudy and still windy.  Temps are going to drop to the low-30s as the winds shift from out of the W-NW at 20-30mph +gusting up to 40mph.  Tomorrow... sunny and much colder with temps in the low-mid 40s and those W-NW winds staying checked in at 20-30mph +gusting.  Friday... mild (50°), sunny and calm winds.  As for the upcoming (December) weekend... Saturday will be mild (60°), rainy and windy as Sunday will be partly sunny with much calmer winds and temps in the low-40s.  November always seems to quickly fly on by and this year's no exception.  Until next year November... see ya on the other side!

This morning's webcam shot - NWW

Mornin'!  It's 52° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's up there but dealing with cloud cover and doing incredible colorful things during her sunrise this morning.  The sky is breathtaking as it was yesterday and the day before.  Winds are out of the West at 10-15mph.   A couple forecasts mentioned patchy fog this morning, but so far, nothing in that regard.  We had some serious rainfall yesterday but only for a couple hours.  We're watered nicely as the island's damp and full of  moisture.  Today we'll dry out as it'll be partly sunny / partly cloudy and windy with mild temps in the upper 50s and NW winds at 15-20mph +gusting.  It won't be a great hair day and I'm sure will feel much colder than 58°.  Tonight... partly cloudy, temps in the mid-30s and North winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... partly cloudy with temps in the upper 40s with light and variable winds.  Looks like rain on Wednesday and sunny on Thursday.

Lovely Day Down The Shore

Mornin'!  It's 38° in Wildwood NJ.  It's still dark and cloudless outside as the sunrise isn't happening for about another hour.  The New Moon is tomorrow and since it's almost invisible in the very black, clear and dark sky, the stars are the main "star" of the show this early morning.  Breezes are barely there out of the NW at 2-4mph.  It's going to be a beautiful autumn day down the Shore.  Expect sunny skies, temps in the low-mid 50s with light and variable winds.  Tonight... clear skies, temps in the low-40s and W-SW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... same as today.  And, Thanksgiving... just about the same as today and tomorrow with some clouds in the mix.
