Rainy Humpday

Mornin'!  It's 38° in Wildwood NJ.  It's raining very lightly.  I call it "spitting".  The breezes are fairly light out of the SE at 7-11mph and that'll be changing a bit later.  It's gonna be a gray, wet, windy humpday.  There's a 90% chance of rain today with winds beginning out of the SE, then shifting this morning from the S-SW at 25-30mph and again tonight...NW at 20-25mph.  Today's temps will get up into the mid-upper 40s and tonight's...right about where they are now.   So prepare for a blustery, raw, wet one today.  Tomorrow...Ms Sun's back with colder temps.  The weekend...more rain.

Mild Winter's Day

Mornin'!  It's 34° in Wildwood NJ.  It's hazy with stars and moon barely making it through the milky clouds.  Breezes are out of the South at 3-6mph and barely worth mentioning.  It'll be a "mix" day with a mix of clouds and sun as temps tap 40°.  Breezes will be varied as well beginning with Southerly breezes and by later this morning turning SW and by this afternoon shift from the W-NW and by this evening NW and by bedtime...NE.  Tonight will be partly clear / partly cloudy with temps in the low-mid 30s and breezes out of the N-NE at 6-8mph.  It's looking like rain by tomorrow afternoon.

Congratulation to the Philadelphia Eagles!

Mornin'!  It's 35° in Wildwood NJ.  It's clear and still (no breezes to note).  Ms Sun's sticking around today as we'll have plentiful sunshine.  The breezes will be checking in from the NW at 25-30mph a little later this morning.  By this evening, they'll simmer down.  It looks like it will be a blustery Monday with clear blue skies and temps in the mid-upper 30s.  Tonight...clear with temps in the upper 20s and breezes still out of the NW at 5-8mph. Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles!  What a wonderful achievement to win the Super Bowl.  They so deserved this.  First in my lifetime and I'm no Spring Chicken!  Just checked that one off my bucket list!  It was worth the wait.  I loved watching the thousands of Philly fans on TV gather for their celebration at a street intersection which I grew up on!  In this sleepy little island 90 miles away was the little island of Wildwood with its own celebrations as neighborhood fireworks with shouts and screams of joy were heard here too after the win! So excited.  Congrats!

Super Bowl Sunday - Go Birds!

Mornin'!  It's 35° in Wildwood NJ.  It's clear, moonlit, starlit, still and fragrant (not much in the line of breezes...Southerly 2-3mph but the air is sweet with that salty brine).  We're clear now but we're in for some rain later.  The start of today will be clear then clouds begin to roll on in.  Expect rain showers to begin by later morning / mid-day as temps climb into the mid-upper 40s.  Expect winds too as they'll be pushing the rain towards us from the South at 18-20mph +gusting.  It'll be wet and raw with rain off and on throughout the day and evening into the early morning.  Tonight...wet with temps in the low 40s with breezes out of the W-SW at 20-25mph.  We should wake to clear skies with the winds staying checked in tomorrow.

Sunny Saturday

Mornin'!  It's 20° in Wildwood NJ.  No breezes to note (NE 2-4mph) with clear, sunny skies.  Ms Sun just rose over the horizon.  She'll be sticking around today as temps tap 30° and breezes shift from the SW at 10-15mph.  Tonight...clouds begin to drift on in as temps drop back down into the upper 20s / low 30s with breezes out of the S-SW at 18-26mph making it feel like being in the teens with a windchill.  It's looking like tomorrow will be a rain event with 90% chance of showers as temps will be in the upper 40s!   I saw in the news that NOAA (The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association / The National Weather Service) may agree somewhat with the ol' Groundhog's prediction of 6 more weeks of winter (they're saying about 4 more weeks is likely as is the normal as well as stats) but not for the Southeast section of the USA as temps look to be warming up a little quicker than the rest of us.  Just saying.

Groundhog Day - TGIF

Mornin'!  It's 35° in Wildwood NJ.  It's raining along with a wintry mix, very windy (W-NW 20-30mph) and a perfect day to pull the comforter up to your chin and roll over.  It's Groundhog day and I'm sure all those Punxsutawney Phil's groupies at Gobblers Knob are gathered around in some icy, freezing cold weather this very minute waiting to see if this rodent will see his shadow or not...6 more weeks of winter or not.  By the time I'm finished posting, we'll know for sure as the inner circle decide when to open Phil's door and get him up.  I'm sure his comforter is up around his chin!  It'll be a cold, blustery, winter's day today down the shore as Ms Sun will only partly shine.  It'll be a partly sunny / partly cloudy day with temps dropping into the low-mid 20s as winds stay checked in...NW 20-30mph.  It'll be cold and raw with a windchill.  Tonight...clear and cold with NW winds at 15-25mph and temps in the low 20s with a windchill of 11°.  The weekend still looks 50-50 with Saturday being the sunnier, colder and drier of the 2 days as we're expecting rain on Sunday.

A Little Cloud Cover / A Little Sunshine

Mornin'!  Happy February! It's 38° in Wildwood NJ.  It's overcast and breezy (SW 19-22mph).  It'll be partly cloudy / partly sunny today with temps just about tapping 40°.  Breezes will be out there all day into tonight from the SW at 15-20mph.  Tonight...rain showers with temps in the mid-upper 30s and breezes out of the W-SW at 12-14mph.  The rain showers could turn to snow before daybreak tomorrow as more snow showers are on tap and just like the other day it'll probably only be a crusty coating as no accumulation is posted.  One thing's for certain though...it'll be windy as hell tomorrow!
