Labor Day Weekend 2013!!!

Mornin'!  It's 73° in Wildwood under sunny skies.  Got a little shopping done this morning right out of the gate as that's what locals do on a holiday weekend when they need groceries, postal services and a WalMart pit stop.  So, it was all done and behind me at 8:30a.m. and I'm finally sipping my coffee blogging.  The island's thick with parked cars and traffic coming over the George Redding bridge.  It's becoming warm out there as the heat and humidity have already begun creeping in for the holiday weekend.  It'll be the nicest of the 3-day holiday weekend.  No rain in the forecast unlike tomorrow and Monday.  It'll be tapping the low-80's with breezes from the S-SW at 15-20mph and by dinner time 20-30mph.  Tonight...clear and back into the low-70's and breezy.  Sunday and Monday...partly sunny/partly cloudy with chances of isolated thunderstorms.

Last Friday of August

Mornin'!  It's 71° in Wildwood.  The sky is clear and the sun's just about to rise.  It'll be a mostly sunny day with temps tapping 80°s along with a touch of humidity thrown in the mix.  Breezes will be out of the North and then shift South at 5-10mph.  The holiday weekend's looking "eh" with chances of thunderstorms throughout as Saturday's looking like the best of the days and Sunday and Monday greater chances of rain.  Still keeping a close eye on that one.

Looking Good!

Mornin'!  It's 71 humid degrees this morning in WW.  The clouds are still covering the sky and my bets are no beautiful sunrise.  However, the clouds will begin decreasing and by late morning - early afternoon...sunny skies!  Temps will increase and tap the 80° mark as breezes will wift (I mean waft) in from the E-NE at 10-15+mph.  Doesn't look like rain is in any of today's forecasts that I've researched.  Not so for the weekend unfortunately as Sunday and Monday are "iffy" and I'm keeping a close watch on the rainy forecasts for that.  Tonight...clear and back into the 60's.

A Little Red Sky In The Morning

Mornin'!  It's 73° in Wildwood.  We're under clear (slightly reddish) skies as the sun is due up in the next ½ hour.  It should be a nice sunrise this morning.  But, you know what "red sky in the morning" means! :"Sailors take warning".   No breezes at the moment.  They'll be around later this morning/early afternoon from the S-SW at only 6-8mph.  Temps will be in the low 80's and feeling warmer due to the high humidity. Like yesterday, there's that continued chance of a scattered thunderstorm (60%) and rain showers.  We never did get any rain yesterday.  In fact, it was a perfect beach day as the humidity and sun provided a warm summer-like day.  It'll be pretty much the same for today but with a greater chance of being overcast with clouds and rain.  Remains to be seen so keep your eye on the sky or better yet the doppler. http://weather.weatherbug.com/NJ/Wildwood-weather/local-radar/doppler-radar.html

2 years ago today...

2011 North Wildwood beach after Irene

Mornin'!  Two years ago today was my first evacuation due to Hurricane Irene hitting our Shore.  It's 73° under partly cloudy skies this early morn.  Humidity's been creeping back up.  Rain is forecasted for today (40% chance) as a cool front approaching later will bring with it rain and an increased chance of showers and/or thunderstorms.  We still may see peeks and of sunshine as the temps tap the 80° mark again. Winds will be coming from the West all day at mostly 10-13mph with some variations.  Keep in mind West breezes bring those pesky, biting greenhead flies.  Prepare accordingly.  Tonight...partly cloudy with a chance of rain (40% chance). Low of 72°. Winds from the West at 5 to 10 mph.

Last Monday in August

Mornin'!  It's 66° and a wee bit cloudy in Wildwood at the moment.  Not sure if we'll see Ms. Sun rising this morning but she's heading over the horizon in a few minutes.  The clouds could make for a lovely canvas as the morning sky becomes painted.  It'll be another lovely day at the shore as it'll be mostly sunny with temps tapping the 80° mark.  The breezes are coming from the SW at 15-20mph.  Tonight more clouds than not will be up above as there's a 30% chance of a thunderstorm.

Lovely Sunny Sunday

Mornin'!  It's 65° in Wildwood this sunny Sunday morn.  Sun's up and shining brightly with breezes light out of the NE.  It'll be mostly sunny and with hardly any humidity and temps only in the mid-high 70's today.  My guess is we'll tap 80°.  Breezes won't be a stiff as yesterday (sand in the ears kinda day) as they'll switch from the NE and then eventually turn from E-SE at 6-10mph.  Looking lovely!
