Sunny Skies

Mornin'! It's currently 55 degrees in WW and will be sunnier and breezier today. It'll be one of those days where the skies are amazingly vivid blue with big marshmallow clouds quickly moving over the island as the winds create quick moving cloud sculptures. Those westerly winds will be 15-25mph with gusts of 30mph. Temps will rise near 70 degrees. No rain predicted. High tide: 7:28a.m.; Low tide:1:42p.m.; Ocean temp: 66 degrees. Ocean's getting nippier and just about the same temp as July 2009. Remember that? Brrrrr. Tomorrow may feel like a summer day and the weekend's looking not too shabby either. Footnote: it's almost 2p.m. and there hasn't been one cloud in the skies over WW yet today; not one, just beautiful blue sky overhead. So much for a gusty, cloudy day.

Cool Hump Day

Mornin'! It's kind of chilly in WW this morning as the porch thermometer is saying 48 degrees. I'm thinking the outdoor deck/porch plants should be coming inside very soon; although the lettuce has seeded itself and little baby lettuce sprouts are beginning to grow. The skies look clear yet the dark clouds are obscuring the horizon and not allowing that morning sunrise to show itself. That's okay...the sun will finally show itself beginning today, warming things up a bit and be prevelant right through the holiday weekend. There will still be big puffy clouds throughout alot of this humpday though as temps climb up to the low-mid 60's. And the weather folk are still predicting a 30% chance of showers later this evening. Autumn is in the air. A breeze will be felt later (there's a 2mph breeze as I type) coming from the W-SW at 10-15mph. High tide:6:58p.m.; Low tide:12:48p.m.; Ocean temp: 66 degrees.

Transition Tuesday

Mornin'! Today begins a bit of a transition in the weather as WW switches from raw, wet, blustery and chilly to drier, calmer and warmer weather. Today and tomorrow could be very similar as the day will begin with temps in the 50's (it's currently 54 degrees) and will head into the 60's staying around 62-64 both days. It will mostly cloudy and even have a light drizzle or two early in the day. We could even see some peeks of the sun. Remember the sun? Breezes are out of the West at 10-15mph. High tide:6:06p.m.; Low tide:11:52a.m.; Ocean temp:67 degrees. In a couple days the New Moon will create some tidal flooding so be aware of any water you want to avoid driving through. One thing is for certain, the recent angry sea has decided to take back some of our beach. RIP Jack Keenan.

Another Dreary Monday

Mornin'! Geez, Monday's are tough enough without the added dreary drama. WW's got it all today...blustery winds (up to 28mph out of the NW), clouds, showers, much cooler temperatures and not to mention a bad hair day. It's currently 52 degrees and will head into the mid 60's by this afternoon. It'll be a tough day for an umbrella with the winds acting out and howling the way they are, but perhaps a windbreaker with the hood up will do the trick. Whatever way you look at it, it'll be a dramatic dreary weather day. High tide:5:04p.m.; Low tide:10:58a.m.; Ocean temp:69degrees.

Sunny Sunday Morning

Mornin'! The Sun's doing its best to get up and out this chilly autumn Sunday morning. It's currently 55 degrees in WW as the sun conflicts with the dark ominous clouds moving at a 15-20mph clip overhead. There's a Coastal Flood Advisory for later today as rains are expected by late this afternoon (70%) and could join the high tide (4:00p.m.) making a challenge for the inexperienced island dwellers. If you have any plans, I'd recommend doing them early in the day before the rains arrive. Don't drive through flooded streets as it's probably salt water and very damaging for the underside of your vehicle. Socks with sandals are not quite as accepted as in San Francisco, but it works for days like these. It's not looking very promising this week (sorry if you're a Vacationer) for comfortable, dry, sunny weather as the rains may be sticking around most of the week. But, the weather folk said the same thing last week and we missed that bullet; so you may want to consider taking the forecast not so seriously! You just never know, but you've been warned. By the way, Low tide is 9:57a.m. and Ocean temp: still warmer than the air at 70 degrees and still dippable. Wonder if that's a word?

Fall-like Saturday

Mornin'! Wildwood is going to feel like Fall today. As the skies brighten this morning, it's 58 chilly degrees with a 12mph breeze blowing (nnw). Chill-chill. First time since the Spring that I've glanced over at the fireplace with an eyebrow up. Temps will rise to the mid-upper 60's today as the breeze tags along and feel entirely different than last weekend. It'll be beautiful today at the Shore once the sun begins heating things up a bit and you have your sweatshirt on. We haven't seen the sun here in a few days. And thankfully...WW never got the rain or floods that most of the surrounding areas did receive. High tide:2:53p.m.; Low tide:8:46a.m.; Ocean temp:70 degrees. (geez the ocean will be warmer than the air temp!) The rains look like they'll be returning later tomorrow and may stick around. Keep your fingers crossed you fishing tournament folk and vacationers!

Happy October!

Mornin'! Well...we dodged Nicole's bullet! WW made it through the day yesterday without any ill effects from this tropical storm. The sun actually came out a few times. Light rains and heavy winds began overnight. Temperature is currently 72 degrees. The rains seem to have subsided this morning. No flooding or wind damage to report as the Utility Pump never got plugged in and Canvas Awnings are still intact. There is still a good breeze out there at 25mph from the NW with some stiff gusts. Add to that the sounds of the rough ocean and it sounds like we live near the train station as the metroliner speeds by! It'll be mostly cloudy beginning this morning and peeks of sun should arrive by this afternoon. Temps will remain in the mid-upper 70's and continue to be mild; still feeling warm and humid in WW today. Winds have already begun to calm down even as I blog. I'm thinking the 1st day in October will be developing into a pretty nice day and for sure lead us into a dry, sunny, cool, Fall-like weekend. High tide:2:01p.m.; Low tide:8:42p.m.; Ocean Temp: 73 degrees.
