Summery Tuesday

Mornin'! It looks like another summer-like day in WW as we celebrate the "Jewel" of the year. It's currently 60 degrees and heading to the mid 80's by this afternoon. Mostly sunny, warm and breezes are heading this way at 10-20mph for the NNW. As I type though...not a leaf is moving on the trees out front; still, calm and mild out there and the smell of the sea is very intense. High tide:1:04p.m.; Low tide:7:36p.m.; Ocean temp:73 degrees. Another nice day and possibly a beach day with those warm breezes. But, I'd pack the insect repellant and bungee to hold down the beach umbrella. I'm keeping an eye on Igor...next storm out in the sea heading in our direction. This storm will be creating the upcoming weekend's rough surf, rip currents and huge waves! Just in time for Fireman's Weekend.

Sunny Monday!

Mornin' and congrats to the bride and groom this bright sunny start of the day and week and a lifetime together! It's currently 63 degrees in WW and temps are going right into the 80's today. Breezes out of the northwest at 5-10mph. High tide:12:04p.m.; Low tide:6:33p.m.; Ocean temp:74 degrees. A perfect Fall day at the shore. Hate to repeat myself...but it sounds like a beach day to me!

So it begins...

Mornin'! Happy Friday. It's the end of a beautiful week and the beginning of a partly beautiful weekend at the Shore. It's the beginning of the Roar to the Shore weekend as the Harleys have begun to infiltrate the island. And...the best of all...it will be the beginning of a shared lifetime together as our daughter marries tomorrow. (Perfect weather for that wonderful occasion too!) This blog will cover today, tomorrow and Sunday as I'm leaving town for the event. So for the weather...here goes...it's currently 64 in WW this morning as the sun's struggling to be seen with the cloud cover at the horizon. There's a break in the clouds though which is making for a gorgeous, colorful sunrise. Temps will rise to the mid-upper 70's as the clouds do stick around most of today. Breezes could get gusty as 25mph later on...hold onto to those sissybars! Low tide: 4:19p.m. and High tide: 10:19a.m.; ocean temp still in the mid 70's.

Tomorrow (9/11-Saturday-Wedding Day as well as my own Wedding anniversary!), very similar to today (temps: mid 70's) without the overload of cloud cover and much lighter breezes at 8mph from the east. Low tide: 5:13p.m.; High tide: 11:09a.m. (bow of the head for those enduring the terror of 9/11).

Sunday, begins with lots of clouds and will stay that way until the rains arrive. One forecaster is saying by 11a.m. the rains will begin in WW. But, another forecast says after 3p.m. Don't know what to tell you there as your guess is as good as mine. But, if I came to WW on a Harley, I'd be checking out early and getting on the road to avoid the rains because they're inevitable. High tide:12:01p.m.; Low tide:6:10p.m.

So Happy Weekend! See ya back here Monday. (With wedding stories and pix!)

More like it!

Mornin'! It's 63 degrees in WW this morning. Ahhhh...it's so nice outside. Sun's rising nicely as the breezes are blowing. There will be gusty breezes all day long coming from the NW at 15-25mph! Temps will rise to the mid-upper 70's. This is a seasonably perfect day I think...you know...a touch of Fall; sunny, cool, clear. Perhaps some fishing or sailing or a beach day? Hmmm...I'm thinking why not? Just in case you do...ocean's warmer than the air at 77 degrees; high tide: 7:49a.m.; low tide: 1:56p.m. The weekend's looking much like today I'm happy to report. I'm hearing wedding bells and Harleys!

Gusty Hump Day

Mornin'! It's a bit on the cloudy, breezy side as the sun crosses the horizon this morning. The leaves on the trees out front are all over the place as the breeze looks to be coming in the front porch windows making it a bit of an easterly breeze as I type (15-20mph). It's currently 73 degrees in WW and feels on the warm and humid side. Looks like a summer-like day at the shore as it will mostly sunny with temps reaching the mid-upper 80's on the island today as well as remaining dry. The winds will keep up as the day progresses and we could see wind gusts of 30mph from the west. As a matter of fact, there's an "explosive fire growth potential" warning out there. It's so dry that the warnings (mainly offshore) are reporting to everyone to watch their cigarette butts as they could send some serious fires into the dry pinelands creating forest fire havoc. Here on the island, could be a beach day if you're a diehard and prepare...ya know the drill...pack a bungee to anchor the umbrella, sit close to the surf to avoid the blowing lighter sand, and insect repellant for the westerly hungry flies. There's always the arcades, but I'm betting on a beach day!

All Things Must Pass

Mornin'! As I blog this morning, I'm playing "All things must pass" and summer as we know has done just that. Shoobies are gone. The streets and driveways are empty once again. It's quieter (at least for a couple days until the Hogs arrive) in town. It's the first day of school in WW (and most places surrounding us). Happy 1st day of school! While parents are getting into their school morning rituals, WW feels exactly the way it's been the last few days...beautiful. For the locals and those still vacationing today, it's currently 71 degrees with cloudless skies as a beautiful morning is on the horizon. The leaves are dancing around on the trees as the morning breeze is 10-15mph from the S/SW. Temps will rise to the mid-80's and humidity's up a bit. High tide: 6:59a.m.; Low tide:1:02p.m. and Ocean Temp: 78 degrees. It's a beach day for those looking for the Jewel. I know I'll be doing just that!

Happy Labor Day!

Mornin'! Wow seems like in a boink of an eye, the summer's faded away! It'll be perfect weather as WW oversees vehicles being packed up and waves goodbye to everyone. Currently 66 degrees with just a scant breeze. It'll reach 85 along the beaches with light 5mph breeze today. Sun will be abundant with cloudless blue skies and there's no doubt that WW will continue to have a perfect day to be out and about enjoying this Jewel. Whether a beach day or a day on the water, or sitting dockside having a delicious broiled seafood combo, there's still something for everyone this last holiday of the summer. Low tide: 12:04p.m.; High tide:6:33p.m.; Ocean temp: 12:04p.m. Make it happen and enjoy this perfect Labor Day!
