Fall-like Saturday

Mornin'! Wildwood is going to feel like Fall today. As the skies brighten this morning, it's 58 chilly degrees with a 12mph breeze blowing (nnw). Chill-chill. First time since the Spring that I've glanced over at the fireplace with an eyebrow up. Temps will rise to the mid-upper 60's today as the breeze tags along and feel entirely different than last weekend. It'll be beautiful today at the Shore once the sun begins heating things up a bit and you have your sweatshirt on. We haven't seen the sun here in a few days. And thankfully...WW never got the rain or floods that most of the surrounding areas did receive. High tide:2:53p.m.; Low tide:8:46a.m.; Ocean temp:70 degrees. (geez the ocean will be warmer than the air temp!) The rains look like they'll be returning later tomorrow and may stick around. Keep your fingers crossed you fishing tournament folk and vacationers!

Happy October!

Mornin'! Well...we dodged Nicole's bullet! WW made it through the day yesterday without any ill effects from this tropical storm. The sun actually came out a few times. Light rains and heavy winds began overnight. Temperature is currently 72 degrees. The rains seem to have subsided this morning. No flooding or wind damage to report as the Utility Pump never got plugged in and Canvas Awnings are still intact. There is still a good breeze out there at 25mph from the NW with some stiff gusts. Add to that the sounds of the rough ocean and it sounds like we live near the train station as the metroliner speeds by! It'll be mostly cloudy beginning this morning and peeks of sun should arrive by this afternoon. Temps will remain in the mid-upper 70's and continue to be mild; still feeling warm and humid in WW today. Winds have already begun to calm down even as I blog. I'm thinking the 1st day in October will be developing into a pretty nice day and for sure lead us into a dry, sunny, cool, Fall-like weekend. High tide:2:01p.m.; Low tide:8:42p.m.; Ocean Temp: 73 degrees.

Advisories Looming this last day of September

Mornin'! It's currently 72 degrees in WW as morning still feels relatively calm and quiet, although everything's soaked out there. The leaves are barely moving on the trees out front in the morning darkness. There's a list of advisories this morning on all the weather maps...Coastal Flood Advisory; Tornado Advisory; Wind Advisory and High Surf Advisory. I have a couple too...Batten Down the Hatch Advisory and Bad Hair Day Advisory. It's gonna be a long day. So far though...not much happening this morning in WW. Temps will get into the mid-upper 70's today and this morning will see only scattered showers. This afternoon between 12-3, the rains could get very heavy (downpours) and cause havoc on our town as the streets begin to flood due to poor drainage/run off. Add to that winds that will begin to reach 55mph gusts (SE) and throw in some thunder and lightning and even a possibility of a tornado! Whew...I'll be battening down for sure. I'd suggest digging out the Waders, the Utility Pump, a Windbreaker, flipflops and a charged Cell Phone; you never know...too many Advisories for me. Oh, I almost forgot the Tides...High Tide:12:45p.m.; Low Tide:7:36p.m. Good luck out there.

And...Another Dreary

Mornin'! Woke up sweating again today as WW's feeling a bit warm and muggy. This humid, damp weather is sticking around awhile. It's currently 66 degrees in WW and will head to the upper 70's by this afternoon. It will have some spots of sun, but be mostly cloudy and dry until early this evening when Showers and Winds begin for the overnight, sweating hours. Tomorrow will be more of the same but with heavier rains and winds. (might be hearing those pesky Flood Sirens; you might want to consider getting out the Waders) For today, not alot of rain or winds (NW-10mph), but dreary just the same. One good thing, this kind of weather makes the ocean sound louder and smell more fragrant and who doesn't like that? Speaking of ocean...High tide:11:47a.m.; Low tide:6:33p.m.; Ocean temp:73 degrees. Another good thing, the weekend's looking nice!

Another Dreary

Mornin'! Lots of descriptive weather words in today's forecast...breezy, gusty, gray, cloudy, muggy, humid, downpours, sprinkles, misty, thunderstorms, showers to name a few. It's 73 humid degrees with warm stiff, breezes and aromas wafting over the island this morning out of the south-southeast at 12-25mph. It'll stay around the same temp closing in on 80 today and will be mostly cloudy with periods of showers all day. This afternoon may have some peeks of blue sky and sun. High tide:10:59a.m.; Low tide:5:39p.m.; Ocean temp: same as the air - 73 degrees.

Gray and Dreary Monday

Mornin'! A couple things...1st...got yesterday's forecast pretty much wrong as we were supposed to be skirted and get hardly any rain/sprinkles. But, wound up getting some major rainfall throughout the afternoon and evening. And 2nd, be thankful if you didn't book this week for your vacation in WW as these rains aren't going anywhere for awhile. This week looks pretty much like a washout. We could see some periods of sun here and there but there's tropical moisture coming up the eastern coast (much like a gentle nor'easter) and will continue to travel through WW just about the entire week. It's currently 68 degrees and will go into the 70's with high humidity (98%) and a light breeze of 10-15mph from the South/Southeast. Each day this week looks like the same forecast so keep your flipflops and umbrella handy for getting around. High Tide:10:19a.m.; Low Tide:4:50p.m.; Ocean Temp:73degrees. Mondays are tough enough...but today's drearies will make it that much harder. I'm keeping my focus on the great weekend I just had.

Fall-like Sunday!

Mornin'! Happy Sunday! Happy ending to a great WW weekend. So much to see and so much to do...couldn't possibly get it all in, but it was a terrific weather weekend for all the events. It's cool and breezy (15mph) and fall-like this beautiful morning in WW. Currently 64 degrees and heading into the mid-70's with partly sunny skies today. It looks like we skirted any rains that were predicted today too. Even though it will much cooler than the 1st half of the weekend, it will be a lovely day for the drive home. If you have another day here on the island...could be cool for the beach, but there will be those diehards like myself making a pit stop I'm sure (take a hoodie) High tide: 9:36a.m.; low tide: 4:11p.m.; ocean temp: 72 degrees.
