Spring Is In The Air

Mornin'!  Happy Spring!  Even though it's now Springtime in Wildwood, we'll continue to see some challenging weather according to my experiences living here for the last 20-some years.  We'll certainly see warmer rays of sun and more birds chirping along with buds on trees and bushes and spring bulbs popping up.  But, the March winds (surrounding us and chilled by the cold ocean and marshes and bay), will keep us cooled along with the fog and April rains it'll be far from feeling that summer, beach feel.  At least for a few more weeks.  With all that said, I'm optimistic, no doubt seeing changes encompass the island with lovely weather filtering in with each passing day.  We're definitely on the upswing!  Welcome Spring! 
As for the current weather and the first day of Spring... it'll be sunny, clear and bright with 38° temps feeling more like 33° due to the S-SW breezes at 4-8mph.  Expect a sunny start with clouds and winds checking in this afternoon.  It'll be partly cloudy today with South winds at 20-30mph increasing to 20-30mph +gusting by this evening.  Temps will get up into the low-50s.  Tonight... 80% chance of rain showers ending overnight, temps in the upper 40s and S-SW winds at 20-30mph decreasing to 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... sun and clouds mixed, temps in the low-mid 50s with North winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow night... partly cloudy with 25% chance of rain becoming foggy and damp in the evening, temps in the low-40s and SE winds at 5-10mph.  Sunday... foggy start, partly cloudy in the afternoon with 20% chance of a rain shower, temps in the mid-50s and South winds at 10-20mph.  Sunday night... 30% chance of rain with partly to mostly cloudy skies, temps in the upper 40s and S-SW winds at 10-20mph.

Mornin'!  It's 48° in Wildwood NJ.  It's partly cloudy with haze over the moon (it's still on the pre-dawn, dark side) with winds out of the West at 5-10mph.  The status of this current weather is about to change up a bit as the March winds-are-a-coming along with 100% chance of precipitation.  Expect some morning rain (around 10AM), then a mix of rain and snow by this afternoon as temps drop.  This morning's high will reach the upper 50s believe it or not, then falling into the low-mid 30s by later this afternoon.  NW winds will check in later this morning at 20-30mph +gusting.  I guess it's time to fire up the furnace again.  Tonight... partly cloudy giving way to clear skies going into the overnight, temps will be in the mid-30s with NW winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... partly cloudy start followed by a cloudy, windy day with temps in the mid-40s and S-SW winds at 25-35mph +gusting.  Tomorrow night... partly cloudy, temps in the low-40s and SW winds at 20-30mph.  Saturday... partly clear with some cloud cover, temps near 50° and W-NW winds at 10-20mph.  Saturday night... partly cloudy with increasing clouds overnight, temps around 40° and NE winds at 10-15mph.  Sunday... intervals of sun and clouds, mostly cloudy afternoon, temps in the low-50s and East winds at 15-25mph.  Sunday night... 80% chance of rain, temps in the upper 40s and SE winds at 15-25mph.

Hump Day

This Morning's Webcam Sunrise - North WW

Mornin'!  It's 47° in Wildwood NJ.  We're under some partial cloud cover (mostly on the West side again) with calm Southerly breezes at 6-8mph.  Humidity's 90%.  It's a lovely Winter's morning down the Shore.  We've been having some great weather as of late.  Yesterday, we hit 68° with blue, sunny skies.  I actually gave some of my gardens a little attention.  It was too nice not to.  Today will be a horse of a different color as this lovely weather moment will turn from a calm, blue sky, sunny first half of the day into partly cloudy / cloudy and 40% chance of scattered thunderstorms and rain with the possibility of gusty winds and small hail by dinner time. Temps will be in the mid-50s with South winds at 15-25mph.  Tonight... cloudy, temps in the low-50s, windy with S-SW winds at 15-25mph.  Tomorrow... 90% chance of rain with strong winds. Rain will evolve from morning showers into a steady, soaking rain by the afternoon, temps in the mid-upper 50s falling to around 40° with NW winds at 20-30mph +gusting.  Strap in!  Friday... partly clear, gusty winds (Southerly at 10-20mph +gusting), temps in the upper 40s feeling much colder.  Friday night... partly cloudy,  still very windy with SW winds at 20-30mph, Temps in the low-40s feeling much colder.  Saturday... partly clear with clouds, temps around 50° and W-NW winds at 10-20mph.  Saturday night... partly cloudy, temps in the upper 30s and N-NE winds at 10-15mph.  Sunday... partly cloudy, 25% chance of rain, temps around 50°, windy with E-SE winds at 15-25mph.  Sunday night... 80% chance of rain, temps in the upper 40s and S-SE winds at 15-25mph.

Fingers Crossed For Yesterday's Weather Again

Mornin'!  It's 43° in Wildwood NJ.  There's barely a breeze out of the South at 2-3mph.  It's partly cloudy (seems more on the west side of the island) as Ms Sun rises in the east.  She'll be up any minute now.  It'll be another lovely day with a touch of the warmth of Spring.  By the way, yesterday we reached 72° with clear, blue, sunny skies! Talk about "a touch of Spring"! It was not what the forecasters were forecasting although dense fog rolled in last night dropping temps significantly.  I'm seeing that today's weather will be foggy and partly cloudy (mostly along the shoreline) with sunny skies by the afternoon, temps in the mid-upper 60s and South winds at 5-10mph.  I'm going to say that we'll have a repeat of yesterday with sunshine with temps getting in the 70s again.  I'm just putting that out there as it's my gut feeling.  Tonight... clear, temps in the upper 40s and South winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... partly sunny, temps around 60° and Southerly winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow night... mostly cloudy with foggy conditions, temps in the low-mid 50s and S-SW winds at 10-20mph.  Thursday... 80% chance of rain, a steady rain later in the day, temps near 60° dropping to the mid-40s in the afternoon, winds out of the W-NW at 15-25mph.  Thursday night... cloudy giving way to clear conditions overnight, temps in the low-30s and NW winds at 10-15mph.  It was last October that we saw 70° temperatures so yesterday was not only an unexpected surprise, but a wonderful gift of beautiful, sunny, warm, island weather that Wildwood does very well. It's days like these that being down the Shore is even more of a gift that I'm grateful for. Who knows... with some luck we just might see it all happen again today! Spring is just 10 days away.  Oh... my Chives and Spring bulbs have broken through the ground surface; a sure sign that Spring has sprung here on the island!

Another Gray One

This Morning's webcam beach shot - WW

Mornin'!  It's 44° in Wildwood NJ.  Breezes to note are out of the E-NE at 1-2mph.  I felt no breeze when stepping outside.  It's clear but hazy.  The moon has a haze or ring around it signifying its light refracting through high-altitude, thin ice crystals in the clouds often indicating moisture in the upper atmosphere (I'm thinking fog).  Ms Sun's going to have this haze in the sky too when she rises. It'll be a mostly cloudy day with some morning, hazy sunshine then fog off and on, temps in the low-50s and E-SE winds at 5-10mph.  Tonight... cloudy / foggy, temps in the low-40s and S-SW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... foggy, becoming partly cloudy later in the day, temps in the low-mid 50s and South winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow night... partly cloudy, temps in the upper 40s and South winds at 5-10mph.  Wednesday... foggy, temps in the mid-upper 50s and South winds at 10-20mph.  Wednesday night... 30% chance of rain showers, temps in the low-50s and S-SW winds at 10-20mph.

Tuesday is the next full moon "The Full Worm Moon" as well as a rare celestial event.  A total lunar eclipse which will be visible across the nation at different times will be happening Tuesday morning.  As for our area, if the sky is clear, we'll get 20-30 minutes before the moonset (in the West sky) at 6:31AM to see this eclipse. However, it's looking as though the sky will more than likely be cloudy.  But, you never know.  One thing is for certain and that is March brings relentless winds.  So strap in as we face the lion.  It'll be rolling out like a lamb before we know it. We turn the clocks next weekend and Spring is officially 19 days away!
