Happy Halloween!

Mornin'!  Happy Halloween!  It's 52° in Wildwood NJ.  It's clear except for along the horizon where Ms Sun will be dealing with some sunrise clouds.  Winds are really not there out of the N-NW at 1-3mph.  Seems like any rain due could hold off until the overnight.  Expect a mostly sunny day with some light clouds in the mix.  Temps will be in the low-mid 60s with S-SW winds at 5-10mph.  Tonight... the clouds will take over as we could see rain showers this evening turning to a steady rain overnight (80% chance) as temps begin dropping to the mid-upper 50s and S-SW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... rain showers in the morning (60% chance) with peeks of sunshine later in the day.  Temps will be in the mid-60s.  Until next year October... see ya on the other side!

October's Beginning To Take Its Bow

Mornin'!  It's 52° in Wildwood NJ.  We're under cloud cover but Ms Sun's peeking right under them along the horizon making for beautiful painted cloud cover.  Winds are out of the N-NE at 7-9mph.  It'll be mostly cloudy this morning with partial clearing today as it'll be a partly to mostly sunny day.  Temps will be in the low-60s with NE winds at 5-10mph.  Tonight... clouds take over as temps drop to the mid-50s and very light and variable winds.  Tomorrow... starting out much like today with partly cloudy skies turning to mostly cloudy skies in the afternoon. Temps will be in the low-60s with light and variable winds.  Tuesday (November) kicks off the month with a rainy day and Ms Sun's supposed to check back in on Wednesday.

Anniversary of Superstorm Sandy

This Morning's WebCam Shot - N.Wildwood

Mornin'!  It's 51° in Wildwood NJ.  We're "gray" again.  There's thick cloud cover over the island.  Breezes are out of the North at 8-10mph.  These clouds are supposed to clear out some giving us a partly sunny day with temps near 60° and NE winds at 10-20mph.  Tonight... partly clear with increasing clouds as temps drop back down to where they are now... 50° and N-NE winds at 10-15mph+gusting.  Tomorrow... much like today with a mix of clouds and sun, temps in the mid-60s with North winds at 5-10mph.  Monday... partly sunny, temps in the mid-60s and calm, variable winds.  Today is 10 years since Superstorm Sandy hit our Coast. It was 1500 miles wide and took 233 lives.  Hurricane Sandy had encountered two other weather systems intensifying its advance as it made a direct hit on the New Jersey and New York coasts. It was truly scary and thankfully the only thing damaged was under the house in the crawl space. Unfortunately all my Christmas storage containers were toppled and everything was destroyed by flood waters. It was only stuff. https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/a2051beb42b044c58a82d671b28bbb17

Oh... I almost forgot to mention that there's a Coastal Flood Advisory posted today from 10AM this morning to 4PM this afternoon.  I'm not sure why as there's no "New" or "Full" moons at this time or any heavy rain event or anything like that but the advisory states "minor" flooding is possible in low-lying areas on the island and/or bayside communities today. I'm thinking it's tide waters seeping in from the ground and inundating the island.  Don't drive through flood waters and remember that the back bay floods an hour later than the ocean side of the island.   Oh...one more thing, this is the last weekend of daylight savings time!  Be prepared to get an extra hour of sleep next weekend as we turn the clocks back an hour and begin to get that darkness of Winter coming in the late afternoon.  Yuck!

The Fog's Here!

This Morning's Webcam Shots-N.Wildwood

Mornin'!  It's 61° in Wildwood NJ.  We're in the thick soup as everything's soaked and dripping.   It's feeling a bit like San Francisco California which is one of the top five foggiest cities in our country.  Hubby and I were there visiting for a week once and we never once saw the top of the Golden Gate Bridge while we were there due to the fog.  And, speaking of San Francisco, the city had a 5.1 magnitude earthquake there yesterday.  As far as I read, there were no damages or injuries.

Back to our fog... we're in it.  It rolled it last evening and just kept getting thicker and thicker until I could barely see across the street in the very early morning hours.  Humidity's currently 100%.  There's not much in breezes.  Expect morning fog along with cloudy conditions with a slight chance of rain (20%) as temps rise just a little to 65°.  We might see Ms Sun peeking in later this afternoon but all forecasts are pointing to a mostly cloudy, damp day. Winds will be out of the South at 5-10mph.  Tonight... cloudy, temps in the low-50s and West winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... Sunny!  Yay!  Temps will be in the mid-60s with W-NW winds at 10-20mph.  As for this weekend... Saturday's looking partly sunny with temps in the low-60s and Sunday's looking partly cloudy with temps in the low-60s.

FOOTNOTE: It's 10:30am and the sun has broken through the fog and clouds as we just might have a partly sunny day!!!  We haven't seen the sun here along the Coast since last Thursday!

New Moon Tuesday

Mornin'!  It's 59° in Wildwood NJ.  We're dripping outside as it's misty and a bit foggy out there.  No rain; just dampness with everything soaked and dripping wet.  There's lots of aromatic brininess in the stillness too.  Not much in breezes out of the West at 2-3mph as the air lays heavy.  It'll be another day like yesterday... overcast and cloudy with temps in the mid-upper 60s and very light and variable breezes.  Tonight... cloudy, slight chance of a rain shower, temps down to where they are now... upper 50s and very light breezes.  Tomorrow... more of the same as we're locked into the thick cloud cover with a slight chance of a rain sprinkle or two.  Temps will be in the mid-upper 60s with Southerly breezes at 5-10mph.  There's a good chance we'll see Ms Sun by late afternoon tomorrow!  It's the "New" Moon today meaning it's not visible but brings the same reaction to our tides making them much higher and fuller than normal tides.  We could see some tidal flooding along those low-lying areas on the island.
