Au Revoir March! Damp Saturday in the Woods

Mornin'! It's 46° this cloudy, gray, dry morning. It'll be mostly cloudy and more dry than wet this start to the weekend and end of the month. See ya later March as it rolls out "not" like lamb. Scattered showers are forecasted today and more so in the a.m. Temps will reach the lo-mid 50's and winds will wift (I mean waft) over the island out of the S-SE and shift later from the N-NW at 10-20mph.

Sunny and Chilly

Mornin'! It's a chilly 39° this early morn. The sky has begun to lighten and get that pale hue as the sun is-a-coming and in less than an hour. Temps will just about tap the 50's today as it will feel a tad chilly even with the sun pouring down. The current NW winds are going to do a 180° and shift from SE right off the sea by this afternoon all at 10-15mph. Clouds will increase by this evening and bring with it rain showers and drizzles overnight. Tomorrow's looking like showers through most of the day as well although Sunday looks brighter.

It's those March Winds again!

Mornin'! It's 54° in Wildwood. Skies are clear and the sun's going to rise in less than an hour. It'll be dry, seasonably mild and sunny today with temps staying around the mid-upper 50's and may even reach 60°. It's the winds that will make today blustery coming from the NW at 15-25mph with gusts of 35+mph. Small Craft Advisories are posted. Bottom line...bad hair day.
I'd keep the boat at the dock and wear lots of hairspray.

Sunny Start; Stormy End

Mornin'! It's 46° this dark, clear early morn. Skies are clear and starlit as the sun's due up in a couple hours and no doubt will be lovely.

Temps are looking more mild than those recent chilly temps as they'll tap the 60° mark today. It'll be breezy this humpday as winds will be out of the SW at 15-20mph with some gusting.
