Thursday Mix of Sun and Clouds

Today's Webcam Shots - North WW

Mornin'!  It's 26° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun just rose over the horizon and is painting the wispy clouds framing her.  Winds are barely there out of the W-SW at 3-5mph.  It's a lovely winter's morning down the Shore.  It'll become partly cloudy today and mostly cloudy by this afternoon.  Temps will rise to around 40° with SW winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... cloudy, temps around freezing (32°) with North winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... the next storm "Indigo" checks in around 8AM with cloud cover, rain, snow, wintry mix and winds.  Chance of precipitation is 80% with temps barely tapping 40° and N-NE winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow night... snow showers early, but clearing out later in the evening, temps around 22° with NW winds at 15-25mph.  Saturday... cloudy and windy with temps around 27° and NW winds at 20-30mph.  By Saturday evening... 23°, cloudy and still very windy.  Sunday... sunny and windy; temps in the low-30s and NW winds at 20-30mph.  Sunday night... clear, temps around 25° and N-NW winds at 10-20mph. Monday... sunny, 35° and much less winds.  Tuesday... partly sunny, 44°, winds light and variable.  From next Wednesday until Monday (the 29th) it'll being raining here down the Shore.  Six straight days of rain is what the weather forecasters are saying. In my opinion, it's too far out to determine that as being completely accurate, but I'm just typing what they're saying.

Baby It's Cold Outside!

Mornin'!  It's 21° in Wildwood NJ.  It's sunny with winds out of the W-NW at 15-20mph making it feel like 7 degrees!  We're really in it now as Winter's at hand and giving us the cold shoulder.  We're in the freeze zone.  Today's sunshine will bring the temps up to around 30° but unfortunately, the stiff winds (W-NW at 20-25+gusting) will make it feel like it's in the mid-teens.  Tonight... a few passing clouds, temps in the mid-upper 20s (feeling like 17°) with West winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... warmer with partly cloudy skies, becoming overcast, temps around 40° and SW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow night... temps in the upper 30s, cloudy, SW winds at 5-10mph.  Friday... the next storm "Indigo" checks in.  Seems like we're getting weekly storms as of late.  This one like the others will bring not only homemade soup but a mixture of rain and snow with accumulations of less than an inch (so they say).  It'll continue into Friday night with snow showers and very cold (20s-30s) temps and blustery winds.  As for the weekend... it looks like it'll be sunny but very cold and windy days with wind chills in the teens.  Keep those thermals, fleece, warm socks, glovelettes and whatever else works for you at hand!

Winter's Truly Arriving

Today's Webcam - North WW

Mornin'!  It's 40° in Wildwood NJ.  It feels like 34° with the E-NE winds at 10-15mph.  It's past sunrise but the clouds are thick overhead. It almost feels like dawn hasn't arrived as it's very dark gray and dismal outside.  It's raining lightly as there are pockets of rain clouds all around us.  When I first went out onto the back porch to check the conditions it was raining lightly.  Everything is dripping wet.  When I turned in last night at halftime during the last Eagles loss ending their season, everything was blanketed in white from the snow (less than an inch).  This morning... the snow is all gone as the rain and warmer temps removed any of that white stuff.  Expect a gray day with  occasional rain showers this morning and by late this afternoon / early evening... a wintry mix.  Temps will start out in the mid-40s but will begin falling near freezing by this afternoon.  Winds will shift to the N-NW at 15-25mph +gusting.  Chance of rain or snowy mix today is 80%.  Tonight... starting out cloudy, becoming clear with very cold temps in the teens (19°) and NW winds at 15-25mph.  Tomorrow... sunny and cold.  Temps in the 20s with W-NW blustery winds at 15-25mph +gusting making it feel like single digits.  Winter's not joking around anymore and is really getting serious here along the Coast.  Time to think about layering and pulling out those thermals not to mention what kind of soup to make.  It's Matzo ball soup here!  63 days until Spring!

Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Mornin'! Happy Martin Luther King Day!  It's 30° in Wildwood NJ.  We're under cloud cover with barely a breeze out of the N-NW at 3-5mph.  It's dry with no moisture out there except for the heaviness in the air.  It feels like something's coming. It's still dark but you can't see a star in the sky.  Expect a mostly cloudy day with snow flurries and snow showers off and on this morning and again this afternoon.  Temps will only get as high as 33° with very light breezes.  Chance of snow is 60% with accumulation less than an inch.  Tonight... 70% chance of snow with temps where they are now... 30° and E-NE winds at 10-15mph.  Another inch of snow is expected.  Tomorrow... temps are rising as all this cold, snowy weather will turn to rain as temps will be in the mid-40s and North winds at 15-25mph.  Chance of rain tomorrow is 40%.  By tomorrow night... partly cloudy, temps in the mid-upper 20s and NW winds at 15-20mph.  Wednesday... sunny, high of 32° and West winds at 10-20mph.  Friday... more snow is on the weather menu.  I'll keep a close watch.

Blustery Sunday

Mornin'!  It's 37° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's up and shining brightly.  Today's sunset is 5PM!!! Winds are out of the S-SW at 15-20mph making it feel like 30° instead of 37°.  It'll be a blustery Sunday with a mix of sun and clouds as temps climb into the upper 40s.  W-SW winds are checked in today and will be ramping up and blowing at 25-35mph +gusting over 40mph.  There's a "Gale Warning" (40mph+) posted until 10PM.  Tonight... clouds are checking in and sticking around but the winds will diminish late tonight.  It'll be cold as temps are going to drop down into the mid-20s.  NW winds will be 20-30mph and decrease to 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... gray and overcast,  with temps in the low-mid 30s and NW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow night... Heather (the next storm) is due in with 60% chance of snow showers continuing into the overnight and by Tuesday morning, it should have turned to rain all depending on the temperatures.  It could be perfect conditions for snowfall in the early part of the day but overall Tuesday looks like it'll be in the mid-40s.  It all remains to be seen.  This storm is bringing heavy snow and strong winds from the Northwest, parts of the South as we'll see it Monday night into Tuesday morning.  She may bust some snow-less streaks in the Northeast as we could miss the bullet again (hopefully) and just get rain. Today is 2 years that we said goodbye to our Freddy.  Just thought I'd mention that.  It's amazing how secured in our hearts he is.  He always will be.  Always.

Advisories Posted

Mornin'!  It's 50° in Wildwood NJ.  We've got a lot going on this morning.  First off... misty, foggy conditions with Ms Sun trying her best to shine through the haze.  Winds are wailing out of the South at 20-25mph +gusting.  And, there are two Advisories posted... a "Wind" advisory until 5pm and a "Coastal Flood" advisory until 2pm.  The winds have been ferociously whipping since last night as torrential rains poured down.  At the moment... outside is drying out.  We had minor flooding in my neighborhood and the winds once again created not much in the line of damage.  I'm very grateful we missed Gerri's intensity.  
For today... expect this patchy fog and mist off to end soon.  It'll start to become partly sunny, then gradually become sunny today.  Temps will rise to the mid-50s as winds out of the West will provide a very blustery day at 15-25mph. + gusting as high as 45mph.  That's going to sting on the Plungers bare skin this afternoon. Tonight... mostly clear, temps dropping into the mid-30s with West winds at 20-30mph.  Tomorrow... sunny until mid-day then becoming cloudy as there's a slight chance of snow showers or squalls.  The clouds are supposed to clear out by late afternoon as Ms Sun will shine just in time for the sunset. Temps will be in the upper 40s with SW winds at 25-35mph +gusting.   For M.L.King day... Monday will be mostly cloudy with some peeks of sunshine, temps in the mid-30s and calmer winds out of the NW at 5-10mph. Monday night... another storm that's been brewing knows as "Heather" heading our way and we could see her hitting the coast then.  Details are still uncertain about the track of this system and how much moisture it will produce.  At this time, it's looking like a snow system due to the much colder temps it has. As for today... as I mentioned the other day... the beach looks like a lake.  If you're heading to the Special Olympics Polar Plunge to plunge or as a spectator... traversing the huge beach at Montgomery Avenue at 1pm will be quite the challenge.  Whatever you have for footwear will be soaked so you might want to wear those Wellies if heading to the beach today to watch.  Good luck and thank you Plungers for this always successful annual fundraiser.

Someone's Drone Shot - 2nd and JFK (North WW)  

Mornin'!  It's 40° in Wildwood NJ.  Blog's on the late side as grocery shopping took priority this early morn.  Groceries are bought, hauled and put away!  It's bright and sunny here on the island this morning.  And, wouldn't you know, I forgot my sunglasses as the sun wasn't up when I left.  For today's weather... expect a sunny morning becoming partly sunny, then becoming cloudy by this afternoon.  Temps will be in the upper 40s with East winds beginning to ramp up at 10-20mph.  Tonight... the next winter storm "Gerri" will be checking in as the winds really steal the show out of the S-SE at 25-35mph + gusting up to 50mph.  It'll be raining hard tonight with thunderstorms thrown in the mix.  Need I remind you of the possibility of tidal flooding and beach erosion especially after last weekend's storm eroding the island.  Know your low-lying areas. It appears that we now have some new low-lying areas like 2nd and JFK Avenues.  Temps will be in the upper 40s.  It'll be raining with very strong winds all throughout the night.  Tomorrow... the tail end of Gerri will be blowing on out of here by mid-morning.  It'll be partly cloudy with those remaining gusty winds out of the W-SW at 20-30mph +gusting along with temps in the low 50s feeling more like the mid-40s for those plunging into the ocean.  Sounds like it'll be brutal dip if you ask me.  Have someone very nearby with a fluffy robe and footwear (slippers, boots, socks etc) at the ready for your wind, whipped, wet body.  Say that 5 times real fast!  The Special Olympics Polar Bear Plunge by the way is in Wildwood on the beach at the Convention Center (Montgomery Avenue) at 1:00PM.  Oh, I checked out the area yesterday on my walk and the beach is not only saturated, but has huge pond-size puddles which everyone will have to traverse.  I'd be wearing my Wellies for sure if you intend to hang on the beach and watch these brave plungers.
