Happy Easter!!!

Mornin'! It's 43° with clear, sunny skies and minimal breezes. The aroma of the sea is in the air. The seagulls can be heard in the distance laughing all around the neighborhoods as I type. It'll be sunny and bright and clear all day long. Winds are coming from the WNW-W at 15-20mph througout the day. Temps will just be tapping the 60° mark. An Eggs-cellent Easter Sunday for sure!

Holy Saturday



Mornin'! It's 43° in Wildwood this early morn. Temps will rise into the upper 50's today and lots of sunshine will be tagging along and so will the breezes. Winds out of the N-NW will be blowing over the island at a brisk clip today at 20-25mph. There's still fire danger due to the winds and dry conditions as of late. It's looking like a lovely weekend and definitely sweater weather for all those Easter Egg Hunts today and tomorrow. Caught the fabulous moon rise last night!

Full Moon Good Friday and Passover

Mornin'! It's 41° in Wildwood. The sky is still dark, but with brilliant stars and moon shining over the island this early morn. It's Full Moon Good Friday. Actually it's known as "Full Pink" Moon as this moon heralds first spring flowers and ground phlox. Full Moon in April is also known to historically bring "frost" and if the moon rises "pale" expect rain. Today's Full Moon should be rising tonight at 7:43p.m. and according to forecasters will be big, bright and brilliant as no rain is expected. It'll be chilly today with plenty of sunshine. Temps will be in the low-50's with winds coming out of the N-NE at 15-25mph w/gusting. Remember the Full Moon will bring with it tidal flooding. And due to breezy, dry conditions, the Alert to be aware of fires which could easily ignite and spread is still posted. Watch your butts!

Not as Warm; Lots of Sunshine!

Mornin'! It's 46° this early morn in Wildwood. Skies are clear and brightly starlit. The aroma of the sea is in the air. It's going to be a lovely day at the Shore, albeit cooler than the last couple days but with lots of sunshine! Temps will be in the mid-upper 50's and may just tap the 60° mark. Winds will be out of the N-NW at 10-20mph and could be significantly lower by midday. There's no rain in the forecast until next week. With that said...there are a couple hazardous weather reports. One, some tidal flooding is expected on the island due to the full moon approaching tomorrow. Don't drive through flood waters...it's salt water and will damage the under carriage of your vehicle. And, two...fire weather concerns are posted due to the low humidity/dry conditions coupled with the breezes expected which can be a fire threat to the dunes on the island not to mention the brush and pinelands on the mainland. Careful with those cigarette butts!

Nice Hump!

Mornin'! It's 53° this early morn in Wildwood. The sky is dark and mostly cloud covered as the moon and stars are only partially visible at the moment. It'll be partly to mostly sunny as the day develops. Temperature will just tap the 70° mark and make for a beautiful day at the shore, although cooler temps will develop as we get over the hump. NW winds will be wifting (I mean wafting) over the island at 10-20mph.

Northwesterlies Checking In!

Mornin'! It's 46° in Wildwood this early morn. Sun's due up in ½ hour and due to the cloud cover directly over the horizon, will probably be obscured. The cloud cover directly overhead though isn't very thick. The morning midnight blue sky is just appearing. My guess is that it could change within minutes as the Winds are the main character in today's forecast. They're coming from the NW at 20-25mph with 30+mph gusts and the clouds are moving out over the ocean at a pretty decent clip. The winds will stick around all day. Forecasters are saying that there's a 20% chance of a shower before 9a.m. that is if we get enough cloud cover. The rest of the day is looking sunny and bright albeit very breezy and definitely a bad hair day. Oh...temps will stick around in the low-mid 50's. I'd bring a sweater if I were you.

Happy April! Happy Palm Sunday!

Mornin'! Happy April! Happy Palm Sunday! It's 43° in Wildwood with cloudly, calm conditions. Sun's due up in less than a ½ hour, but we won't be seeing a sunrise this morning due to the thick cloud cover. The sun's suppose to have a morning appearance, but by the way the sky's looking I'm second guessing the forecasters. I mean we may see some peeks through the palms but Showers are expected at times later today and even more so tonight. Temps will be in the lo-mid 50's and it appears it won't be a complete repeat of yesterday's raw, chilly day. Winds will be out of the North then shift from the South by this afternoon at 10-15mph.
