Five Star Weather

Mornin'! It's 54°, clear, and very still & quiet this Friday morn. The Sun's about to cross the horizon with not a cloud in the sky...just gorgeous horizon pastel colors accompanying the sun's rising. Temps will rise into the low 70's and winds will be gentle and light at 8-10mph from the West to start and will end coming from the East. You know the drill. It's going to be a perfectly beautiful 5-star day. The Monarch butterflies are loving it too. They're overtaking the coast from Stone Harbor to Cape May and Wildwood in between. It's all you see...butterflies, butterflies, butterflies. Just lovely. We're witnessing their 2,000 mile migration journey into central Mexico were they'll spend the winter. They're running late this year as it's usually a September phenomenom but they need favorable winds (north or west) to bring them over our coast as they dine on the dune plants to bulk up for their journey. It's amazing and beautiful so see. I'll be doing a little migrating myself this weekend beginning later today as I head northwest and will return Monday. The weekend blog will be put on hold, but if you cut and paste this 5 Star Weather, it'll take you right through to the middle of next week...enjoy!

Wildwood is Warming Up!

Mornin'! It's 54° this dark, quiet, clear morning. Temps will rise into the 70's with an abundance of sunshine throughout the day. Winds are not happening at the moment, but will begin wafting over the island later this morning from the North at 10-15mph, then by this afternoon shift from the West. As this weekend warming trend commences over Wildwood, each day will be a repeat of the day before with temps reaching the 80's by Sunday. No rain in sight until at least next Wednesday. High tide:4:22p.m.; Low tide:10:00a.m.; Ocean temp: 68°; Sunset:6:35p.m. Perfectly lovely weather for the Shore. It's looking like "cattle shoot" time!

More Flipflop time ahead!

Mornin'! It's 59°, clear and dry this early morning humpday. The temperature will begin to rise to the low-mid 70's beginning today. Wildwood will see sunny, mild, more comfortable, summer-like weather for the next week. No rain in sight. Today will be lovely with sun and warmth and NW breezes (10-15mph). The same forecast will repeat pretty much each day for the next 5 or 6 days as temps climb and could reach the 80° mark by the Holiday. I say time to slip into the Flipflops again; or even better...boat shoes!High tide:3:22p.m.; Low tide:8:55a.m.; Ocean temp:69°; Sunset:6:36p.m.

Temps heading back up!

Mornin'! It's 48° again! Chill is in the air in Wildwood this morning once again. But, have no fear...the temperature is heading back up and we'll see the mid-upper 60's today. The sky is clear and we'll definitely see a sunrise today! There will be a mix of clouds and sun most of the day with a 20% chance of a shower or two up until later this afternoon. It'll be breezy today with NW winds blowing over the island at 15-20mph with a bit of gusting going on as well. Another "sweater weather" kind of day perhaps. Tomorrow could be a different story as temps climb back up the thermometer into the 70's and sun will be a-blazing and the socks can be left in the bureau! High tide:2:16p.m.; Low tide:7:47a.m.; Ocean temp: 69°; Sunset: 6:38p.m.

Sweater Weather

Mornin'! It's a bit chill-chill this morning in Wildwood as the porch thermometer reads 48°. Sky is still dark this early morn, but at the direction of the horizon it's brightening a bit and looks partially clear. (may be a good sunrise shot)Looks like it could be a repeat yesterday...mostly clouds with peeks of sun along with chance of showers all day long (50%) with winds out of the West at 9-12mph. Temps will be in the mid-upper 50's. It'll be far from a washout today as we made it through yesterday's gray day without any rain as all the wild weekend activities continued. Now that it's quiet again...I guess a little rain wouldn't hurt; neither would a sweater! High tide:1:08p.m.; Low tide:7:41p.m.; Ocean temp:70°; Sunset: 6:39p.m.

Somewhat Bright Sunday Morn

Mornin'! It's 54 chilly degrees in WW! Feels nice though...still have some windows cracked open enjoying the dry air. Sun's out but has been fading inside clouds as I'm researching today's weather. Breezes are out there too...Westerly at 12-15mph. Seems like a gorgeous Autumn day out there. It's going to be mostly cloudy today as the Sun does everything in its power to shine. We'll see plenty of sun but the clouds are hanging around again and could even provide a spritz or two later. Temps will climb to the mid 60's again. It seems like it will be pretty much a repeat of yesterday and that was a perfect Autumn day on the island. Lots to see and do and the weather complimented all the activities. High today: 12:26p.m.; Low tide: 7:07p.m.; Ocean temp:70°; Sunset: 6:41p.m.

60-40

Mornin'! It's 60° this somewhat crisp, bright, sunny morn. We may even see a low with 49° temps at night this weekend. Autumn colored leaves on the trees out front are blowing in the breeze ever so slightly. Everything's soaked from the overnight rains. (the island had rain along with thunderstorms most of the night). Skies are blue and the scent of sea air along with fresh baked crumb cake is wafting all through my little seashore cottage. Temps are going into the mid 60's today. Clouds will be rolling in once again a little later today and will make for a partly cloudy day rather than partly sunny...so says the forecasters. Never could get that one. There is a chance of showers later this afternoon...30%. Winds will be out of the West at 9-14mph all throughout the day as well. I'm thinking a 60-40 kind-a-day. 60 to the good so get out and enjoy not only the beautiful start of the day but all the jammed packed activities the island's got to offer this weekend. (check Friday's blog) and 40...to the dreary as we may get hit with cloud cover and rain later. High tide:11:05a.m. (could see some flooding due to the new moon); Low tide:5:34p.m.; Ocean temp:73°; Sunset:6:43p.m.
