Wet and Mild

Mornin'!  It's 49° under starry skies.  Fog's lifted.  Clouds have dispersed.  There's a gentle breeze out of the W-NW at 5mph.  Looking like a "wet" one as rain is forecasted on at least 3 weather sites I've checked.  Looks like 60% chance of rain showers today as the clouds will roll in this morning bringing some moisture.  Temps are heading up into the mid-upper 50's.  Breezes will continue to be out of the W-NW but by this evening will shift from the W-SW at 15-20mph.  Rain will continue through tonight into tomorrow as temps dropped back into the 40's feeling like it should...cold.

SanFran-ish

Mornin'!  It's 44° in foggy Wildwood.  The island's socked in this San Fran-like morn.  Feels nice outside though with that heavy, fragrant air.  A foggy chill in the air instead of a cold winter chill.  Although this time Tuesday the Woods will be back in winter mode.  Today...foggy, yet mild.  Ms. Sun will be doing everything in ther power to shine, but all forecasters are pointing to the fog winning this round.  Temps will climb into the mid-50's again, but unless Ms. Sun is out, we're going feel damp and chilly.  That's okay...just add another log to the fire.  Breezes (none at the moment) will begin later this morning and they're coming from the warm South at 9-12mph.  Monday...much like today but no sun trying to peek out as the rain looks like it'll win tomorrow's round.

A pleasant winter's Saturday

Mornin'!  It's 39° in Wildwood as we're in cloudy/foggy conditions.  It's beginning to brighten out there as I type though and I'm anticipating the forecasted sunshine anytime this morning.   Sun is expected to develop before the morning's gone.  It'll be nice and unseasonably mild today with temps heading back up the thermometer at mid-50's  Breezes will be initially out of the NW at 10mph then shifting by late this afternoon from the South.  Overall...a pleasant day down the shore once we get the gray, dampness out of here.  Oh...the New Moon effects are still being felt as the streets are flooding as expected from the high tides.  Take heed...don't drive through the ocean water!

TGIF

Mornin'!  It's 38° in Wildwood.  It's not quite as clear as yesterday morning this time but just as nice if you ask me.  There's some clearing in the sky yet there's light clouds evident over portions of the starlit sky.  Could make for a fabulous sunrise.  It's very quiet except for the sounds of the surf (six blocks away it almost sounds like a highway full of rush hour vehicles).  The air is thick with the fragrance of the sea today.  Makes you want to take it all in with long deep breaths.  Well, some may find that aroma offensive as it's a strong fishy smell, but it's perfect if you ask me.  It's going to be a mixed bag for the end of the work week.  It'll be mostly cloudy today with temps just tapping the 50° mark and staying there into the overnight. Temps will stay on the mild side into Monday.  Rain is due in tonight and intends to stay overnight.  Breezes will be out of the S-SE at 15-20mph.  At the moment...no breezes.  If you ask me Ms. Sun can't seem to make up her mind as she'll be checking back in tomorrow for the day and checking back out on Sunday.  
68 days until Spring!

A Tad Cooler Today

Mornin'!  It's 43° under crystal clear skies this early morn.  No breezes.  The island's ambiance completely surrounded me as I stood on the back porch in the darkness gazing up at the stars filling the sky.  Even in the dark silence, I could hear, feel and smell the shore.  Sometimes you need to be quiet and let the presence of the island fill you up.  It couldn't get any better.  Temps will be shaved off a bit from yesterdays but it's going to be on the mild side tapping the 50° mark as the sun once again pays her visit.  It'll be mostly sunny with some wispy clouds filtering in and feeling just a tad cooler.  Breezes will commence later this morning from the NW at 10-15mph. Looking "wet" for tomorrow.

Hump Day

Mornin'!  It's 40° in WW.  It's dark, clear, and quiet on the island.   The stars are-a-twinkling again this morning.  Clouds will roll in a bit today as it'll be partly sunny/partly cloudy with temps heading into the 50's.  No typo as the temps could reach mid-50's depending how Ms. Sun beats out the clouds and shares some of her warmth.  Breezes will be out of the W-SW at 10-15mph.  It'll certainly be a very mild winters hump day. Tonight...back into the 30's with NW breezes.  High tide:5:46p.m.

Winter's taking a little hiatus

Mornin'!  It's 38° this clear, starlit morn in Wildwood.  It's quiet with no breezes to mention.  Sun's due up over the horizon in about an hour.   I could probably get away with a quick cut and paste from yesterday's blog entry as the morning is definitely a repeat of yesterday.  It'll be sunny again with temps going up into the "upper" 40's today.  Each day this week, the temperature will rise a little and by the weekend it's going to feel balmy so enjoy while the gettings good. But keep in mind winter will be checking back in just about this time next week.  Today's breezes will check in but from a slightly different direction...SW at 15-20mph.
