Mostly Sunny Sunday

This Morning's Webcam Shot - North WW

Mornin'!  It's 43° in Wildwood NJ.  It feels like 37° due to the N-NW winds at 10-15mph.  Ms Sun's up and dealing with some clouds right along the horizon.  It'll be a mostly sunny start to the day with clouds increasing this afternoon.  We could see an isolated sprinkle this afternoon.  Temps will rise into the low-50s with N-NW winds shifting from the East at 10-15mph.  Tonight... clear, temps where they are now... 43° and East winds at 5-10mph. Tomorrow... the "big eclipse day" as well as the "New Moon"...  partly clear and sunny skies, temps in the upper 50s with S-SW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow night... mostly cloudy, becoming partly cloudy overnight, temps around 50° and S-SW winds at 5-10mph.  Due to that New Moon tomorrow, the high tides will be much higher than usual. There is a "Coastal Flood Advisory" posted for today and tomorrow until Tuesday 12:00AM.  We could see some minor coastal flooding on the island during the high tides.  Backside of the island always is an hour later on those high tide times.

Sunny Saturday

Mornin'!  It's 42° in Wildwood NJ.  Breezes are out of the NW at 15-20mph making it feel like 36°.  Ms Sun's up and shining brightly through the clear, blue sky.  It'll be a partly sunny day with temps in the mid-upper 50s and NW winds at 15-25mph +gusting making it feel like the upper 40s.  Tonight... some clouds filter in with mainly clear skies overnight.  Tonight's temps will be in the low-40s with N-NW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... partly sunny, temps in the low-50s with N-NE winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow night... mostly clear, temps in the mid-40s with SE winds at 5-10mph.  Monday... mostly sunny with some milky clouds now and then and winds out of the S-SW at 4-7mph. 

A few things to mention...
As for that eclipse on Monday which we'll see partially if those milky clouds do not prevail... Partial eclipse begins at 2:09PM; Totality begins at 2:50PM; Maximum is at 3:24PM; Totality ends at 3:58PM; and Partial eclipse ends at 4:35PM.
As for today's the North Wildwood Fallen Hero Plunge (into the 47° ocean)...  It's being held at 11AM and 1st and Surf Avenues.  Their website has all the info for registering and taking part or what's happening all around the town to celebrate and raise funds for this big fund-raising event.  Good luck plungers! http://www.fallenheroplunge.com/
And lastly, as for yesterday's Earthquake... we certainly felt it here in Wildwood.  At least I did.  I began to feel the house shake a bit as I was walking in the upstairs loft where I was about to go into my bedroom and get changed.  My outdoor floor plants live up there for the Winter (under the roof skylight) and I simultaneously felt the house begin to sway and shake as I could see those floor plants begin to  tremble and shake back and forth. I then peered up to the overhead skylight at the top of the staircase and I could see (and feel) my house was slightly moving (shaking) opposite the backdrop of the house/roof next door.  It was completely weird and unsettling but it was obvious what was happening.  I was immediately aware that this was no dump truck making havoc rattling heavily down my street.  I ran down the stairs calling my husband as he was coming out of the downstairs bathroom hearing me yell his name. When I asked him "Did you feel that?", he said, "No."  I said, "I think we just had an earthquake!" We live 2hrs 20min. from Tewskbury NJ the epicenter of the 4.8 magnitude quake and thankfully suffered no damage.  Not one sand bottle fell from the shelf!

Clouds Not Checking Out Yet

Mornin'!  It's 44° in Wildwood NJ.  We're actually waking to sunshine this morning!  Haven't seen the sun's rays shining in the windows of my home since the last morning of March.  Thanks to yesterdays rains, we're saturated and it feels raw and damp and more like 38° with the W-NW winds at 10-15mph.  I'm not sure how much sunshine we'll see as there's a pretty large mass of clouds on the west side of the island slowly making their way northeast and just beginning to create a cloudy sky.  Expect a partly sunny / partly cloudy morning with clouds increasing and by this afternoon... 50% chance of rain. We could even see and hear more thunder.  Temps will be in the low-50s with West winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... partly cloudy, temps in the low-40s and West winds at 10-20mph with 25% chance of rain showers.  Tomorrow... intervals of sun and clouds, temps in the low-50s and W-NW winds at 15-25mph with higher gusts possible.  As for the weekend... Saturday will be partly to mostly cloudy, temps around 50°, winds out of the NW at 10-20mph; Sunday... sunny start, partly to mostly cloudy, temps in the low-50s and North winds at 10-20mph.

Coastal Flood Advisory Posted

Mornin'!  It's 48° in Wildwood NJ.  It's gray and misty and feels more like 40° with the windchill.  We're saturated from yesterday's downpours throughout the day and night.  Tides appear to be high tide but that's until 4:00pm this afternoon.  Expect another wet and windy downer weather day with cloud cover and some severe winds as temps rise into the upper 50s.  Showers are developing this afternoon with possibilities of thunderstorms (70% chance).  Winds will be the showcase as remnants of March still exist... E-SE at 20-30mph +gusting of 40+mph.  Tonight... rain, winds, temps in the mid-40s with West winds at 20-30mph +gusting.  Chance of rain is 70%.  There's a COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY in effect until 8PM this evening.  Due to the inundation of rain and winds pushing the tide water onshore, low-lying areas and tidal waterways that are vulnerable and prone to flooding will be impacted.  Be aware of your low-lying areas and high tide times.  The back bay waters have their "High Tide" times an hour later than the ocean's times.  Tomorrow... sunny start to the day, increasing clouds later in the day, 50% chance of rain showers by the afternoon, temps in the mid-50s and W-SW winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow night... partly cloudy, temps in the low-40s and West winds at 15-25mph +gusting.  As for this coming weekend...

April Showers - Right On Schedule

Mornin'!  Welcome April!  It's 48° in Wildwood NJ.  It's raining with winds out of the East at 10-15mph.  It's been raining since the middle of the night with thunder waking me early this morning.  At the moment it's coming down at a good clip. So, for quite awhile now, after much thought and contemplation, I've decided to hang up my blog and retire wildwoodweather.net.  April Fools!  I had to.  It's a thing.  I'm not going anywhere, god-willing.
So, like I said, it's raining and it'll be raining for a few days up ahead and that's no April Fools joke. Lots of crapola weather ahead this week.  Expect gray skies, rain, and possibly thunderstorms today with patchy fog and off and on showers this afternoon, temps in the low-50s and East winds at 5-10mph.  Tonight... cloudy with rain late, temps in the upper 40s and E-NE winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... periods of rain becoming windy in the afternoon, temps around 50° and E-NE winds at 20-30mph.  Tomorrow night... rain, temps in the upper 40s and E-NE winds at 20-30mph.  Wednesday... rain, mid-50s, E-SE winds at 20-25mph.  Thursday... partly sunny, temps around 50° and West winds at 10-15mph.   As for you April... please be kind.  Showers are exactly what we need to bring beauty to this island of ours, but please don't overdo!
