This Morning's Webcam Shot - North WW

Mornin'!  It's 51° in Wildwood NJ.  We've got an abundance of cloud cover again, no rain coming down but we're completely saturated from all of yesterday's torrential rain.  In fact, my backyard (stone covered) is still filled with a couple inches of water. Winds are out of the N-NW at 10-15mph making it feel more realistically like 46°.  It's damp and raw outside and I couldn't help but think what kind of soup I'll be making today.  It'll be another gray day with cloudy skies, 20% chance of rain, temps in the low-mid 50s and North winds at 10-20mph.  Tonight... partly to mostly cloudy, temps in the low-40s and N-NE winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... intervals of clouds and sun, temps in the upper 40s and E-NE winds at 10-20mph. Saturday... rain beginning by late morning, temps in the upper 40s and SE winds at 10-20mph.  (We turn the clocks ahead before turning in on Saturday night).  Sunday... Daylight Saving's Time kicks off the day along with a New Moon pulling on those high tides.  Expect a rainy start on Sunday, sunshine by afternoon, temps in the upper 40s/low 50s, and winds out of the West at 15-25mph.  Monday... March will be roaring with partly sunny skies and winds out of the W-NW at 25-35mph +gusting.  Tuesday... sunny with another blustery day on the forecasts.

The Rainy Systems Keep Comin'!

Mornin'!  It's 46° in Wildwood NJ.  Another gray start to the day.  It's on the misty/foggy side this morning. Something those heavy clouds provide is the roar of the ocean (a good 10 minute walk away).  I love that sound which isn't always distinct especially on a clear day.  Breezes are out of the E-NE at 5-10mph.  Looks like it'll be another wet day with 100% chance of rain showers, temps in the low-50s and East winds at 10-15mph.  1-2" of rain is expected which could bring about some localized flooding.  Tonight... occasional rain showers tapering into a few showers late tonight.  Temps will drop into the upper 40s with North winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... cloudy, 25% chance of rain, temps in the mid-50s and North winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow night... cloudy, temps in the low-40s and E-SE winds at 5-10mph.  As for this weekend... Saturday will be cloudy with light rain turning to heavy rain Saturday night, temps around 50° and windy E-SE at 15-25mph; Sunday... cloudy and very windy (Westerly 20-30mph +gusting) along with temps in the low-50s as temps drop Sunday evening into the mid-30s and W-NW winds at 25-35mph +gusting.  Since we're once again in the path of another rain system (grateful it's not snow), we have a very probable chance of coastal flooding.  The New Moon is Sunday and will bring higher than normal tides during high tide times.  Be aware of the tide times, low-lying areas on the island and flood sirens.  Those sirens give time to move vehicles and make you aware of rising tide waters.  Don't park in flood-prone areas and don't drive through flood waters.

Tuesday Drearies

Mornin'!  It's 46° in Wildwood NJ.  We're saturated from the overnight heavy rainfall.  It's misty and breezy with winds out of the SE at 10-20mph.  It was quite a stormy night to say the least.  Not a peaceful night that's for sure.  As for a peaceful start to the day... there's a jackhammer knocking out someone's sidewalk a half block away.  The construction never seems to end here.  Seems like we're in for not only an ugly day but a noisy day here in the neighborhood.
It'll be an overcast, gray day with that white-looking sky, 20% chance of more rainfall, temps in the low-50s and S-SW winds at 10-20mph.  Tonight... cloudy, 25% chance of rain, temps in the mid-40s and South winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... cloudy, 100% chance of rain (1-2" of rain expected), temps in the low-50s and E-NE winds at 10-15mph.  Thursday... rain, temps in the low-50s and windy with North winds at 10-20mph +gusting.

Wet Week In Wildwood Ahead

Today's Webcam Shot - North WW

Mornin'!  It's 48° in Wildwood NJ.  We're under partly cloudy skies as Ms Sun's up and trying her best to shine on through.  Winds are out of the E-NE at 4-8mph.  It's a lovely morning down the Shore.  It'll be a mostly cloudy day with peeks of sunshine here and there but the clouds will thicken and take over the skies bringing rain by later this afternoon (40% chance).  Temps will get into the low-50s as these E-NE winds ramp up at 10-20mph.  Tonight... 90% chance of rain becoming even windier with winds out of the E-NE at 20-30mph.  Temps will go to where they are now... upper 40s.  Tomorrow... rain until mid-day with temps in the low-50s and winds out of the E-SE turning to the W-SW at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow night... mostly cloudy, temps in the upper 40s and SW winds at 5-10mph.  Wednesday... waking to rain as it's supposed to rain until Thursday afternoon, mild temps again... low 50s and Northerly winds at 10-15mph.  We might see Ms Sun again on Friday.  I still think March and April have switched spots on the weather calendar.

Beautiful Sunday

Mornin'!  It's 45° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's up and shining brightly without a cloud in the sky.  Breezes are light out of the W-NW at 5-8mph.  It's a chilly beauty this sunny Sunday morning.  There's that salty air surrounding us along with island birds making their presence known.  The seagulls are laughing.  The doves are cooing.  The little birds (starlings and sandpipers) are chirping excitedly.  Spring is in the air!  It'll not only sound like Spring today but it'll feel like it too with plentiful sunshine, temps in the upper 50s and West winds at 5-10mph.  Tonight... mostly clear, a few passing clouds, areas of patchy fog is possible as temps drop back into the low-40s with very light winds.  Tomorrow... a mix of sun and clouds early with clouds checking in later in the day, temps in the low-50s and East winds at 10-15mph.  Rain is coming in around 8-9PM tomorrow night as it'll keep raining until Tuesday afternoon.  Temps will still be in the 50s.  It looks like it could be a rainy day on Wednesday.  Maybe March and April have it mixed up this year?

Rain On The Saturday Weather Menu

Mornin'!  It's 47° in Wildwood NJ.  Happy Saturday!  It's raining and a great day to sleep in and catch up on your Zzzzz.  It feels like 41° with the S-SE winds at 18-22mph.  It'll be a rainy, windy day today with temps reaching the low-50s and SE winds at 20-30mph.  Chance of rain is 100% and should be checked in until 6-7PM.  Tonight... cloudy, becoming partly cloudy after midnight, temps in the mid-40s and W-NW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... mostly sunny with a few passing clouds, temps in the mid-upper 50s and W-SW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow night... mostly clear, temps in the mid-40s and S-SE winds at 5-10mph.  Monday... mostly cloudy, rain by dinner time, temps in the low-50s and winds out of the E-NE at 10-15mph.  I'm not sure what's going on but there are neighbors galore all around me that opened their dark, closed up homes all arriving yesterday and last night.  I'm adapting to the first Shoobie infiltration of 2024.  It's always startling to see and hear more traffic, car doors slamming along with loud voices and commotion outside.  Of course, not to mention... lights going on everywhere (both outside and inside) as homes are all once again lit up.  It's been quiet and dark as most haven't been here since the Fall.  It's a shame they've picked a wet, raw, cold day here but tomorrow's a better day for sure.

March Is Up Next!

Mornin'!  It's March!  It's coming in like a lamb believe it or not.  Maybe it got all its wind knocked out of it in February!  It's truly hard to trust March; sorry.  I was born and raised in Philly and a March in Philly is the extreme opposite of a March in Wildwood.  I learned that my first March living here 20 years ago.  Most years, March is brutal with its icy winds.  We're last to see Spring and feel its warmth as Philly knows it to be.  We'll see dogwoods, azaleas, buds on trees etc... last to bloom.  But, we are certainly kicking it off with very decent Winter weather albeit it rainy tomorrow.  Grateful for that and fingers crossed. 
It's 31° in Wildwood NJ.  It's calm and feels like 31° with hardly any breeze... E-NE at 2-4mph.  It sunny too.  Ms Sun's up and shining brightly over the island in the lovely blue sky.  We've got a beautiful, crisp, briny morning.  It'll stay sunny until mid-day when the clouds begin to filter in and make it a somewhat partly cloudy afternoon.  Temps will get into the mid-40s with E-SE winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... rain clouds check in as periods of rain begin late, temps will be in the low-40s with SW winds at 10-15mph.  Chance of rain tonight into the overnight is 100%.  Tomorrow... cloudy with periods of rain, temps in the low-50s and SE winds at 15-25mph.  Tomorrow night... cloudy, temps in the upper 40s with W-SW winds turning W-NW at 10-15mph.  Sunday... partly sunny, temps in the low-50s and N-NW winds at 3-5mph.
