Izzy and the Full Moon are almost here!

Today's Wildwood Crest Webcam Shot

Mornin'!  It's 18° in Wildwood NJ.  Feels like 8° with the windchill.  Breezes are out of the NE at 10-15mph.  We're under somewhat clear skies as Ms Sun rose about a half hour ago but there's thick cloud at the horizon and is blocking her rays.  The clouds will allow her a little shine time this morning but sometime this afternoon, Winter Storm Izzy's going to have its way with us.  This winter Nor'easter is in Virginia at the moment heading this way.  This is what's going to happen... clouds take over, winds will ramp up, then the moisture (rain, ice or snow) begins and remains to be seen.  These current icy temps are supposed to rise into the mid-upper 40s by this afternoon.  I'm thinking it'll be only a rain event for our Jersey coast.  The E-NE winds will ramp up to 20-30mph +gusting (possibly 40-50mph) which is my concern.  Hopefully, we'll make it through without wind damage or power outages.  Tonight... winds will still be doing havoc along with steady rain into the overnight as temps drop into the mid-30s.  Be careful tonight with all the rain and those temperatures dropping as it could get icy.  Tonight's winds will change direction (SE) at 25-35mph +major gusting.  Rainfall could possibly be over an inch giving the island those tidal (full moon) flooding concerns for sure.  Be aware of the high tides.  Tomorrow... is the Full Moon and will be partly cloudy and windy day with those gusty winds (W-SW 25-35mph +gusting), temps in the low-40s.  Be safe out there!
