Smokey Skies

Ocean County Wildfires

Mornin'!  It's 59° in Wildwood NJ.  It's partly cloudy along with smokey conditions due to the wildfires happening in Ocean County (about an 1½ hrs. drive from here in Cape May County). This morning the Ocean Township Police Department posted that the North and Southbound lanes of the GSP (Garden State Parkway) and US 9 are now open.  Also, that evacuation orders remain in effect.  Stay safe everyone!
Back to the weather here at the Cape.  It'll eventually become a pleasant sunny day.  By the way, yesterday we had a truly summer day as we reached 80° for the first time this year!  At the moment, the clouds and smoke are hiding Ms Sun this morning.  The island's smokey with winds out of the N-NE at 10-12mph.  I had to shut the windows as the thick smell of smoke is replacing that salty fresh air in the house. We're going to have a mix of sun and clouds and I guess smoke today (at least until the winds shift) with temps in the low-60s and East winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... mostly clear, temps around 50° and S-SW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... partly sunny, temps in the mid-60s and calm SE winds at 5-7mph.  Tomorrow night... clear, temps around 50° with SE winds at 5-10mph.  As for this coming weekend... rain showers and thunderstorms due in for Saturday with temps in the upper 60s and SW winds at 15-25mph.  Sunday... sunny, temps in the mid-60s and N-NW winds at 10-20mph.
