Full "Beaver" Moon Friday

Mornin'!  It's 48° in Wildwood NJ.  The weather chart says it feels like 42° with the N-NE breezes at 10-15mph.  It's cloudy as Ms Sun begins her Full Moon Friday.  She's behind the clouds at the moment.  She's actually peeking under them at the horizon line as I blog.  She's due up in just about 10 minutes.  Since we're under cloud cover, there's a 40% chance of rain this morning.  By this afternoon... sunshine and blue skies and on the windy side.  Temps will go up into the mid-upper 50s with N-NW winds at 10-20mph.  Tonight... clear, temps back to where they are now... mid-upper 40s with NW winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... sunny, temps in the low-mid 60s and very blustery with NW winds at 15-25mph.  Sunday... partly to mostly sunny, temps in the upper 50s and W-NW winds at 5-10mph.  It's the Full Moon today.  Tides are much higher than normal and we could see that salt water seeping into the streets again.  Do your best to not drive through it.  We did have some very minor coastal flooding yesterday along the curbs in some of the streets as that water somehow finds its way up onto the island.  That Full Moon is just the push it needs.  Hopefully, we'll see some rain as we're in a serious "extreme" drought crisis.  And, if we do have clear skies tonight... that ol' Moon rise is always amazing to witness along the ocean on the eastern horizon.

Partly to Mostly Cloudy Thursday

Mornin'!  It's 44° in Wildwood NJ.  There are a few things going on this morning.  First, it's a bit on the cloudy side.  Ms Sun is painting the sky as she tries to rise and shine but the clouds are in the way and making things interesting with beautiful colors mixed with dark, gray clouds.  Secondly, it's high tide on the bay side and my surrounding streets along the curbs are on the floody-side.  High tide was actually an hour ago on the ocean side of the island but the bay side is always an hour later.  Tomorrow's Full Moon is creating this scene there's no doubt as we're still in a serious drought situation with no measurable rain for over a month.  The Northeast winds are light at 9-12mph.  
We're going to have a generally cloudy day with temps in the mid-50s and E-NE winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... cloudy with 40% chance of rain showers, temps in the upper 40s and E-NE winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... cloudy in the morning, sunny by the afternoon, temps in the upper 50s and N-NW winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow night... clear, temps around 50° and NW winds at 10-15mph.  Saturday... sunny, temps around 60° with NW winds at 10-20mph.  Saturday night... clear, temps in the upper 40s / low 50s with N-NW winds at 10-15mph.  Sunday... partly to mostly sunny, temps around 60° with W-NW to W-SW winds at 5-10mph. Sunday night... cloudy, temps in the low-50s and light winds.

Veterans Day 2024

My Vet Writing Home To Me - 1970

Mornin'!  Happy Veterans Day!  It's 62° in Wildwood NJ.  We're wet and drippy from last evening/overnight rains.  Everything's watered but my guess is that it's not enough to rid us of the drought conditions.  In fact, there have been reports of wild fires out of the control in Passaic County NJ as well as parts of Orange County NY.  Very light, misty rain showers are still coming down and likely through mid-morning (50% chance).  We'll see gradual clearing then with ample sunshine by late morning / early afternoon.  Along with the sunshine, we'll have temps near 70° and winds out of the W-SW at 15-25mph.  Tonight... mostly clear with some clouds in the mix, temps... upper 40s with W-NW winds still stiff at 15-25mph.  Tomorrow... sunny with gusty winds (N-NW 20-30mph) and temps in the upper 50s.  Tomorrow night... clear, temps around 40° and NW winds at 15-20mph +gusting.  And, to all our Veterans (including my husband) who have served our country... today we honor you and all those who have served in all the wars.  Thank You!

October's weather has been fantastic this year albeit "dry".  We can only hope that next October is as beautiful.  Florida surely wouldn't agree with me as their entire Hurricane season has been one of the most intense of the season with October being no exception.  Until next year October, see ya on the other side!  Rest easy and Trick or Treat!

We're very crispy on the island and surrounding areas.  Be aware of the very dry conditions as we're in a moderate drought and the State remains on a  "drought watch"... conserve water and watch those cigarette butts.

There's a Stage 3 Fire Restriction statewide due to the prolonged dry conditions.  These restrictions ban wood and charcoal fires as this dry weather as of late raises wildfire risks specifically in the Pineland region of our State which is operating under a Drought Watch.  This severe dryness is now near record levels in the State of NJ as residents and businesses should be aware and vigilant of any wasteful use of water.  Here's some guidelines to follow if in the drought watch area:
~taking your car to the car wash instead of washing it in your driveway saves water.

~sweep your patio, driveway or sidewalk instead of hosing paved surfaces.

~check for leaks around your home.

~use watering can to water instead of a hose.

~install low-flow shower-heads, faucets and toilets.

~shorten bathing time; take a 5 minute shower.

~turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth.

~run the dishwasher and washing machine only when "full".

~don't throw lit cigarettes/cigars away thoughtlessly.

October's Beginning To Take Her Bow

This Morning's Webcam Shot - Otten's Harbor 

Mornin'!  I'm back!  It's been 18 days since I actually sat in front of my computer and checked Wildwood's weather.  I did peek on my phone and kept seeing nice weather here with no rain.  I've been enjoying Autumn from afar and mostly down South (Georgia and Florida) with some 60° mornings and even warmer with 80° mornings in Key West.  The first thing I did when walking through the door last evening was put the furnace on. The second thing was to enjoy my own bed! As for the weather here... what a difference a couple of weeks make!  The air is crisp to say the least as we border that freezing mark.  All the tree leaves are all turning into their picturesque colors with Autumn everywhere (including Wildwood and my property) as well as North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Delaware which was quite a treat to see. The Marsh grasses here are once again that beautiful golden color.  But the best is that salty, briny fragrance always filling Wildwood's air giving me that incredibly warm welcome back.  There's nothing like returning home to the Coast. 
It's 44° in Wildwood NJ and actually feels like 38°!  It's sunny with barely any breezes (out of the North) at 2-3mph.  Expect the beautiful autumn days to continue with plentiful sunshine in that deep blue sky, temps in the low-60s and E-NE breezes at 5-10mph.  No rain in sight.  Tonight... partly clear, temps around 50° and winds light and variable.  Tomorrow... intervals of sun and clouds, temps in the mid-upper 60s and East winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow night... partly clear, temps in the upper 50s / low 60s with light winds.  Wednesday... sunny, temps around 70° with S-SW breezes at 5-10mph.  The New Moon is this coming Friday.  Along with unpacking today, lots of watering is going to be happening around here.

Happy Thursday!

Mornin'!  It's 55° in Wildwood NJ. This lovely Autumn weather continues throughout the rest of the week into next week.  It's clear, still dark but starlit and 3/4 moonlit. Looks like a mix of sun and clouds during sunrise but another sunny day ahead today with temps in the low-mid 60s and N-NW winds at 10-20mph.  Tonight... clear, temps in the low-mid 50s and N-NW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... sunny, temps in the mid-upper 60s with N-NW winds at 5-10mph.  Friday night... clear, low 60s and West winds at 5-10mph.  Saturday... sunny, temps in the low-mid 70s and West winds at 10-15mph.  Saturday night... clear, mid-60s with W-NW winds at 5-10mph.  Sunday... mostly sunny, low-70s and Southerly breezes at 5-10mph. 

So, it's that time when I'm taking a break from blogging for a little bit and getting things done... visits with family, a little road-trippin' here and there and enjoying the moment.  I see taking in the views, relaxing, reading good books, crocheting and maybe a party/celebration or two!  I have no doubt that I'll be back to blogging before Halloween gets here!  If you need Wildwood's most accurate weather, I rely mostly on "Weather - Wunderground" which is about midway under my Personal Favs on my Blog page.  Everything else is there too... moon charts (next full moon is October 17th), ocean temp, tides, rip currents etc.  We've got it all!  See ya on the other side!

Wild First Weekend In Wildwood

Mornin'!  It's 63° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 89% with a dewpoint of 60°.  Breezes are out of the NW at 2mph (barely there).  It's still dark and partly cloudy (more clouds on the bay-side) with a string of clouds just along the horizon line at the ocean) which usually makes for a fantastic sunrise (in about an hour). It's supposed to be a sunny, warmish day. Today's temps will be in the low-mid 70s with N-NE breezes at 10-15mph.  Tonight... clear, temps in the upper 50s and N-NE winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... sunny, temps in the low-70s and E-SE winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow night... clear, temps in the upper 60s and Southerly breezes at 5-10mph.  Monday... sunny, temps in the low-70s and N-NW winds at 10-15mph.  A lot going on this weekend here in Wildwood.  Check out the big line ups in the Events Calendar.  Oktober Fest at Morey's as well as the Race Of The Gentlemen is this weekend and one thing's for sure... the pre-1935 hot rods are everywhere and noisy as hell.  I thought the Harleys were loud when we used to have Biker Weekend!  Have fun this first weekend in October!

Mornin'!  It's 61° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's up and shining brightly.  Humidity's 85% with a dewpoint of 60°.  Breezes are light out of the SE at 3-4mph.  Clouds are going to roll on through today as it'll be partly sunny / party cloudy with temps in the low-70s and SE breezes at 5-10mph.  Tonight... cloudy early with clearing expected late.  There's a small chance of a shower (20% chance) late tonight into the overnight, temps in the low-mid 60s with S-SW breezes at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... clouds in the morning giving way to a sunny day, temps in the low-mid 70s and N-NE breezes at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow night... clear, temps in the upper 60s and E-NE breezes at 5-10mph.  Sunday... sunny, temps in the low-70s with S-SE breezes at 5-10mph.  Sunday night... partly cloudy with 30-40% chance of rain after midnight, temps in the mid-60s with S-SW winds at 10-20mph.  It's looking like a perfect weather weekend ahead for this weekend's lineup of The Race Of The Gentlemen, the RV Show at the Convention Center area and the Oktober Fest at Morey's Pier on the Boardwalk.

Welcome October

This Morning's Webcam Photo - North WW

Mornin'!  It's 67°, cloudy and breezy (E-NE at 15-20mph) in Wildwood NJ.  Welcome October!  And, "Red sky in the morning..." is what I'm seeing out my front windows right now.  Even with this relatively thick morning cloud cover, Ms Sun's painting that sky all kinds of reds, corals as well as throwing in some golds. It's really amazing how picturesque our Autumn sunrise and sunsets are here on the east coast.  Today will basically be a repeat of yesterday with cloudy skies, a slight chance of rain (25% chance), temps around 70° and stiff E-NE winds at 15-25mph.  Tonight... cloudy, 35% chance of rain, temps in the mid-60s and NE winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... mostly to partly cloudy with 25% chance of rain in the morning as we just might see Ms Sun later in the day, temps near 70° and NE winds still stiff at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow night... mostly clear, temps in the mid-60s and NE winds at 5-10mph.  Thursday... a sunny day, temps around 70° and light breezes!  Yay!  The New Moon is tomorrow which means we're seeing higher than normal tides. Remember that the backside (marsh/bay) is one hour later in the high tide times. It's nice to see you again October.  We know what could happen this month as we're in the peak of hurricane season which continues until November 30th.  Please be kind to us.

It's 66° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 91% with a dewpoint of 62°.  It's cloudy with Ms Sun's about to rise but once again has clouds to get through.  It looks like she may be able to peek through some of breaks in them this morning. One thing's for sure, she painting the sky as the geese fly over squawking loudly heading South.  Sunrise is minutes away. Winds are out of the NE at 10-20mph.  It's going to be a repeat of yesterday with cloudy skies (25% chance of rain), temps around 70° and NE winds at 10-20mph.  Tonight... cloudy, 20% chance of rain, temps in the mid-60s and E-NE winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... same as today but with stiff winds.  Wednesday... same as Tuesday.  Thursday...

More Gray Skies This Last Friday In September

Mornin'!  It's 71° in Wildwood NJ.  It's gray and cloudy and raining but so lightly it almost seems just misty.  I can barely hear the raindrops hitting my canvas awnings when going out onto the porch.  Humidity's back up there at 98% with a dewpoint of 71°.  Winds are barely there as well... SE at 3-5mph.  Expect another gray day.  We're going to have cloud cover with 40% chance of rain throughout the day, temps in the mid-70s and E-SE winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... 90% chance of rain, temps around 70° and E-SE winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... mostly cloudy (some peeks of sunshine... remember that?), temps in the mid-70s and SE winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow night... cloudy and humid with temps around 70° and E-SE winds at 5-10mph.  Sunday... mostly cloudy with 50% chance of rain, temps in the low-70s and blustery East winds at 15-25mph +gusting.  Monday... 50% chance of rain, temps in the low-70s and those blustery East winds at 15-25mph +gusting.  I have to note that I'm grateful for my gray, calm and humid conditions here in Wildwood as I have loved ones in the Tampa-Florida and Athens-Georgia areas and I can only imagine what an incredibly scary night they suffered through.  Last I checked the storm has left Tampa as they're still without power but the sky is now clear.  Athens is still without power and getting windy rainfall.  Prayers for those in that stormy path of Hurricane Helene.

Saturday starts out with leftover rain showers from the overnight, clouds and even fog burning off and turning into a  partly sunny day, temps in the mid-70s with light winds.  Sunday... thick clouds and rain are back (50% chance) with temps in the low-70s and stiff breezes out of the East at 15-20mph.  I'm beginning to forget what a vivid blue sky in Wildwood looks like!

Tuesday Mix Of Sun And Clouds

Mornin'!  It's 65° in Wildwood NJ.  It feels very cool and lovely this morning.  Humidity's way down with a dewpoint of 57°.  These humidity numbers are pleasantly comfortable.  Any dewpoints in the upper 60s / low 70s is considered high.  Dewpoint is a measure of the amount of water vapor in the air at which that water vapor condenses into water.  As the dewpoint increases, the air feels more heavy, humid and oppressive. So, there's today's quick lesson on humidity.

It's partly cloudy outside.  I'm sure Ms Sun will find an opening to show her morning rays in less than an half an hour from now.  Winds are out of the E-NE at 5-10mph.  We're going to basically have a repeat of yesterday with considerable cloudiness and peeks of sunshine (if lucky) with temps in the upper 60s and E-NE winds at 10-20mph.  Tonight... cloudy with 25% chance of rain, temps in the mid-60s and East winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... doesn't look like we'll have any peeks of sunshine, 50% chance of rain with overcast skies throughout the day, temps in the low-70s, higher humidity (85% with dewpoint at 65°), and E-SE winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow night... cloudy, temps around 70° with SE winds at 5-10mph.  Thursday... cloudy, mid-70s and S-SE breezes.

Rip Current: High Risk (Don't Risk That Dip In The Ocean Today)

First Week Of Autumn

Mornin'!  This blog entry is dedicated to my daughter who's celebrating her birthday today.  Being the baby of the family, she has a special place in my heart.  Happy Birthday and hope it's a wonderful birthday!  It's 61° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 82% with a dewpoint of 56°.  Winds are out of the N-NE at 4-8mph.  And, we've got lots of cloud cover as Ms Sun makes her way over the cloudy horizon to begin this first Monday of Fall.  We're supposed to have a breezy, mostly cloudy day but that forecast doesn't match the other three I checked.  The other three reported a mostly sunny day (with some clouds in the mix) and normal breezes.  With that said, I'm going with... a partly sunny day, temps in the low-70s and NE winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... mostly cloudy, 30% chance of rain late, temps in the mid-60s and E-NE winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... partly to mostly cloudy, temps around 70° and E-NE winds at 10-20mph.  Wednesday... mostly cloudy (25% chance of rain), temps in the low-70s and E-SE winds at 10-15mph.
