That Was Quick One, June!

Mornin'!  It's 69° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's up but not making it through the hazy sky.  It appears that we're still dealing with those fine particles of smoke in our thick, unhealthy air due to those Canadian wildfires.  There's "Code Orange Air Quality" still posted until midnight tonight.   Humidity's 92% with a dewpoint of 64° and breezes are barely there out of the South at 1-3mph.  So, June's just about outta here.  She's always a quickie that's for sure.  For this last day of June... a mix of sun and clouds, with areas of smokey haze possible.  It all depends on the the direction of the breeze and by later today the breeze will be out of the South, then S-SE so we may see the blue sky again.  It remains to be seen that's for sure.  For now... "white" sky.  Today's temps... mid-upper 70s with South breezes at 5-10mph.  Tonight... mostly clear, temps in the upper 60s and S-SE breezes at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... except for afternoon clouds, partly to mostly sunny with temps in the mid-upper 70s and SE breezes at 10-15mph.  Sunday... waking to rain along with the possibility of stormy conditions throughout the day... hail and gusty winds are posted.  Monday... partly cloudy with a stray shower or thunderstorm possible throughout the day (25% chance).  Tuesday... mostly sunny, temps in the low-80s and winds out of the W-NW and W-SW.  As July waits in the wings... until next year June... see ya on the other side!

Mornin'!  It's 71° in Wildwood NJ. Humidity's 94% with a dewpoint of 68°.  It's a warm, sunny, humid morning down the Shore.  Ms Sun's up and shining brightly over the island.  Imagine that!  We haven't had a bright sunrise in quite awhile.  My home is filled with bright yellow sunlight.  Winds are barely there out of the SW at 3-5mph and feels quite sticky outside.  It'll be sunny today with a bit of cloud cover now and then and a stray shower or thunderstorm possible (20% chance later this afternoon).  Temps will be in the low-80s with S-SW winds at 5-10mph.  Tonight... 40% chance of an isolated shower or thunderstorm (probably late).  Temps will drop to around 67-69° with S-SW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... intervals of clouds and sun kicking off the start to the week (and the end of the month).  More clouds will filter in by the afternoon with those stray thunderstorms possible (40% chance) along with gusty winds.  Temps will be in the upper 70s with Southerly breezes at 15-25mph.  Those storms could stick around tomorrow night as well.  Tuesday... partly sunny start, becoming mostly cloudy with temps near 80° and the likeliness of more unsettled, stormy weather in the afternoon (60% chance).  Thursday looks like the best day this week with plentiful sunshine, high of 82° and no showers or thunderstorms to worry about.  Keep your eye on the sky this afternoon though!

The New Moon is tomorrow.  It affects our tides the same as a Full Moon so be aware of low-lying areas and if any tidal flood is happening.  Don't drive through flood waters or park in areas that are known for tidal flooding at high tides times.  Know your "high tide" times.  Remember that the ocean "High Tide" is an hour sooner that the back bay "High Tide" times.

Stormy Friday

Mornin'!  It's 68° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 82%.   Winds are barely there out of the South at 5-9mph.  It's cloudy but we'll probably see peeks of sun off and on this morning.  It's looking like a gray day up ahead though with 90% chance of rain beginning this afternoon.  There's a potential for afternoon storms passing through as well as damaging winds.  That includes the possibility of severe thunderstorms. Temps will be in the low-70s with S-SE winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... 50% chance scattered thunderstorms with partly cloudy skies after midnight.  Again, there's a potential for severe storms.  Temps will drop down to the low-60s with N-NW winds.  Tomorrow... partly to mostly sunny, temps in the upper 70s and NW breezes at 5-10mph.  Sunday... sunny, temps in the upper 70s with NW winds becoming SW at 5-10mph.  Monday... mostly sunny, temps in the mid-70s with E-SE winds at 5-10mph.  The New Moon is Sunday and the high tide times are already much higher than normal so be aware of those low-lying areas on the island.  Learn (or ask someone) the streets that are potential flood risks.  And, don't drive through flood/tide waters or park in a flood-prone area.  The undercarriage of your vehicle will take on some serious salt-water damage.  The island's filling up with people for the Barefoot Country Music Festival this weekend.  I'm sure there are many, many folk who don't have a clue about tidal/coastal flooding.

Another Beauty



Mornin'!  It's 68° in Wildwood NJ.  We have brilliant sunshine pouring over the island.  Humidity's low... 70%. Winds are light out of the W-NW at 5-10mph.  It'll be a perfectly lovely day down the Shore.  Expect a sunny day with temps in the upper 70s and West winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... clear, starlit skies, temps down into the low-mid 60s and S-SW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... looking a bit crapola with gray skies and 80% chance of rain (scattered in the morning with more widespread by the afternoon), temps in the low-70s and gusty S-SE winds with even the possibility of hail.  Tomorrow night... 50% chance of rain with temps in the low-mid 60s.  Saturday... partly sunny, temps in the mid-70s and W-NW winds at 10-20mph.  There's a chance of a passing shower (20% chance).  Sunday... a beauty with sunshine, temps in mid-70s and light breezes.  The New Moon is Sunday and High Tide has already made its presence known by allowing the moon to pull it onto shore.  Be aware of tide flooding especially tomorrow with that rainy day of tap adding to the possibility of coastal flooding drama.  Be mindful of where you park and don't drive through flood waters.  Wildwood's flood water is like driving in the ocean and that will do damage to the undercarriage of your vehicle.

World Oceans Day - Hazy Thursday

Mornin'!  It's 60° in Wildwood NJ.  We're still in the smokey hazy and in the danger zone.  It's unhealthy outside.  I'm closed up with the Air Conditioner on since last night unfortunately.  Winds are out of the NE at 3-5mph.  I've added the link to the guide/graph for checking your area's "particulate matter".  https://www.airnow.gov/?city=Wildwood&state=NJ&country=USA.  

For today's weather, it'll begin with a mix of clouds and sun with scattered thunderstorms developing this afternoon (40% chance).  Areas of smoke and haze are in the mix as well.  Reduced visibility is possible.  Temps will be in the upper 60s with E-SE winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... mostly clear with that haze surrounding us, temps in the upper 50s with SW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... partly cloudy, slight chance of rain, temps in the low-mid 70s with West winds at 5-10mph.  Saturday... sunny, temps in the mid-70s, W-NW winds at 5-10mph.  Sunday... partly sunny, temps in the mid-70s, SW winds at 5-10mph.  
Be smart outside today.  Make your visits outdoors minimal and do your best to not exert yourself in that smokey haze if going outdoors.  Oh, it's World Oceans Day today!

Hazy Hump Day

Mornin'!  It's 62° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's up and shining down but that hazy, smoke is giving the sky that apocalypse look.  Breezes are out of the NW at 7-9mph.  Nothing's fresh about our breeze as its coming from the areas of the Canadian wildfires.  Expect a partly hazy day with widespread areas of smoke and haze reducing the visibility at times.  Temps will get up into the mid-70s with West winds at 10-20mph.  Tonight... mostly hazy, cloudy skies, then partly cloudy after midnight.  There's a 15% chance of a passing shower.  Temps will drop into the upper 50s with SW winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... partly cloudy with 25% chance of rain.  Temps will be around 70° with E-NE winds at 5-10mph.  At this time, the weekend's looking sunny with temps in the mid-70s.

D-Day

Mornin'!  It's 65° in Wildwood NJ.  It's sunny with that ol' smoky haze in the sky.  Winds are out of the West at 8-10mph.  Expect a mix of clouds and sun today with the possibility of a stray shower or thunderstorm (25% chance) later this afternoon.  Temps will be in the mid-upper 70s with West winds becoming very gusty at 10-20mph.  Tonight... a slight chance (15%) of rain before 9pm under hazy conditions.  There will still patchy smoke clouds up above.  Temps will drop into the upper 50s with West winds at 10-15mph tonight.  Tomorrow... widespread hazy start to the day with patchy smoke, basically a sunny day with temps in the mid-upper 70s and NW winds at 10mph.  
There's a Red Flag Warning issued regarding these gusty winds we're about to get (again).  The reason for the warning (11am - 8pm) is due to the extreme dry conditions and low humidity as of late along with these winds due in today.  It's all perfect ingredients for wild Fires.  Be aware of what you're doing in regards to cigarettes, cigars, campfires, cooking fires etc.  Be smart.  New Jersey's a tinder box right now.  No sense in throwing a lit cigarette out the car window. 
It's D-Day today.  On June 6, 1944, more than 160,000 allied troops landed on a 50-mile stretch of Normandy beach on the French coastline to fight the Nazi Germany waiting with guns-a-blazing.  More than 9,000 troops lost their lives just in that first 24 hour period.  Today we'll remember.

Sunny Monday

Mornin'!  It's 62° in Wildwood NJ.  The sky is blue and filled with the morning sunlight along with light breezes out of the NW at 5-7mph.  It's a glorious morning down the Shore.  It'll be a lovely Monday with sunny skies and some clouds thrown in the mix, temps in the mid-70s and West winds at 5-10mph.  Tonight... partly cloudy, temps around 60°, West winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... sunny, warm and breezy with temps near 80° and West winds at 10-20mph.

Sunny Sunday

Mornin'!  It's 59° in Wildwood NJ.  It's sunny and bright with some small puffy (aka cumulus) clouds in the blue skies.  Breezes are out of the N-NE at 10-15mph.  We've had some major winds the day but they've calmed down considerably.  We've had some unusual high tides too.  That full moon brought tidal flooding to the island on last night's high tide.  Especially in the back side (harbor / marsh / bay) of the island.  The streets in my neighborhood were pretty impassible but you'd never know it the way some people drove through the depths of the tide water creating wakes.  I just hope they realize that they drove through salty ocean water and their undercarriage is the thing that will suffer most.  
It'll be a sunny Sunday with temps in the mid-upper 60s and SE winds at 10-20mph.  Tonight... some clouds will give way to mainly clear skies.  Temps will drop in the low-mid 50s along with S-SE winds shifting to the NW at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... sunshine with some clouds, temps in the mid-70s and West winds at 5-10mph.  High tide times today could bring more flooding on the streets.  Just be aware of where you park and leave you vehicle.  Since we're becoming the golf-cart capital of the world as of late, I know that those vehicles would never take to tidal flooding or any flooding for that matter.  If you're on the island especially when it's the full moon and the winds are wafting the way they were (extremely strong off the ocean), it's island flooding time.  You need not a drop of rain for the streets to become impassible.  And, we could very well have a very high tide again here on the back of the island this morning as this 9:05AM Ocean high tide will be a 10:00AM back bay high tide this morning.  You've been put on alert!

June's Full Moon Is Tonight

Mornin'!  It's 66° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's up but the dense fog has her concealed.  If you check any of Wildwood's webcams, you'll see nothing but a white screen due to the fog.  Breezes are currently out of the E-NE at 6-9mph.  It's going to become a windy, cloudy day with temps dropping a bit to around 64/65 degrees.  These current gentle breezes will turn into blustery winds later this morning still out of the E-NE but at 25-35mph +gusting. It doesn't look like we'll be getting any rain as originally forecasted.  Tonight... partly cloudy, temsp in the low-50s and NE winds at 20-30mph.  Tomorrow... sun and clouds mixed with temps in the mid-60s and SE winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow night... clear skies, temps around 60° and much calmer winds out of the Southeast.

June's Checked In

Mornin'! June's in the house!  Happy June.  It's 64° in Wildwood NJ.  We're under gray, smokey skies with winds out of the N-NE at 15-20mph (the Nova Scotia fires are providing plenty of smoke along the east coast).  It's a breezy, dreary morning down the Shore.  We're starting out with gray, foggy, misty conditions to kick off June this morning.  These areas of fog and mist will eventually lift this morning as it's supposed to get sunny today with temps near 70° along with E-NE winds at 15-25mph.  Tonight... partly cloudy giving way to considerable cloudiness and possible fog.  Temps will drop to the upper 50s with NE winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... starting out just like today as it'll be gray and foggy, becoming partly sunny with temps in the low-70s and SE winds at 5-10mph.  Saturday... cloudy and windy, temps in the mid-60s, windy with E-NE winds at 20-30mph.  Saturday night... cloudy and windy with temps in the low-mid 50s and NE winds at 20-30mph.  Sunday... partly sunny, temps in the mid-60s and E-NE winds at 10-20mph.  Sunday night... partly cloudy, temps in the mid-upper 50s and W-NW winds at 10-15mph. The Full Moon is Saturday by the way and if you're lucky to see it rise over the horizon, it's quite amazing.  Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that it is the kick off to Hurricane Season and it lasts until November 30th.  Here's to you June... be kind to us this year!
