Lovely Monday

Mornin'!  It's 63° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's up and shining down.  The breezes are still surrounding the island from the N-NW at 23-26mph +gusting.  It sure got warm down the shore yesterday...89° on the back porch thermometer. The breezes were incredibly stiff coming off the land (West) making for a tough beach day.  I never attempted it with those winds.  That's the kind of beach day that would have covered you completely in sand as the winds would have worked perfectly if off the ocean. Never happened as it was a very warm one though and I made it through with no Air Conditioner on yet!!! Today...with windows open...the winds will continue to hang out of the N-NW at 23-26mph w/gusting 30+mph.  The sun will shine while temps will be cooler as we get up to just about the mid-upper 70s.  Tonight...even cooler (60°) with clear skies and W-SW breeze at 11-13mph.  Tomorrow and Wednesday...looking like keepers!

Mornin'!  It's 79° in Wildwood.  We've got us some summer temps this morning.  It's warm in the house but there's a hefty breeze coming in from the W-NW at 20-25mph +gusting (32mph).  It'll be sunny and breezy today with temps in the mid 80s.  Tonight...clear and breezy with temps dropping into the upper 50s/low 60s with breezes out of the N-NW at 21-32mph.  Tomorrow...nice one without the stiff breezes.

The Hits Keep Coming and today's blog is dedicated to my better half who begins retirement this afternoon!

Abundant Sunshine

Mornin'!  It's 59° in Wildwood NJ.  It's on the chilly side this sunny, breezy, crisp Spring morn.  Once again, the birds sound very happy.  It'll be pleasant today albeit breezy as Ms Sun will be checked in today along with some milky afternoon clouds as temps get back up into the mid-upper 70s.  Breezes will be stiff out of the W-NW at 19-26mph.  No rain in sight.  Tonight...clear, with temps in the mid 60s and breezes out of the NW at 8-10mph.  Tomorrow's looking near perfect.  The weekend..."eh" as Saturday will have a mix of clouds and sun while Sunday will have breezes.  Got my eye on the weekend's forecast as we've got the American Legion, the Mummers, beer (WW Beer Fest) and the DeMolay convention. WildwoodsNJ.com

Hump Day Mix

Mornin'!  It's 64° in Wildwood NJ.  We've got another lovely morning.  The sky is clear as Ms Sun's up and at'em.  No breezes to note (yet). The island birds and seagulls are the best part of the morning as they're chirping and squawking (I like to think of it as laughter) everywhere around the neighborhood.  And, living near Otten's harbor we get our share of ducks quacking as they're sounding pretty happy too.  I always refer to having our ducks while Key West has their chickens and roosters!  It'll be a partly nice one today as the morning starts out sunny and mild while temps climb up to the low 70s.  By mid-day things begin to change. First it'll become windy...W-NW at 16-20mph and by noon...32-39mph as a cool (temps will drop), storm front will be aiming right for us.  Expect those "ghostbuster" clouds to roll in quickly with winds and rain and thunder and lightning being on the afternoon menu (60% chance). We got a similar storm front with those dramatic storm clouds and winds last evening around dinner time and it only drizzled for 5 minutes and passed on through. Today's storm will be a fast mover so it should move through quickly. Tonight...clearing out but the winds are staying checked in...W-NW 20-30mph.  Temps down into the upper 50s! Tomorrow's looking nicer...calmer, sunnier and milder. The weekend...eh...the jury's still out but Sunday's looking like the better of the two days!
