Sunny Morning / Partly Cloudy Afternoon

Mornin'!  August is taking his bow today and bidding adieu. It's 61° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 69% with a dewpoint of 52°.  Winds are out of the N-NE at 5-10mph.  Ms Sun's up and shining brightly.  The weather loveliness continues. We're going to have a sunny start, some clouds rolling in later this morning with increasing clouds this afternoon.  Temps will be in the low-mid 70s with NE winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... partly cloudy, temps where they are now (low-60s) and NE winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... sunny, temps in the low-mid 70s and E-NE winds stiff at 15-25mph. Tomorrow night... clear, temps in the low-60s and NE winds at 10-20mph.  Well, this is it August... you've been relatively good to us in the weather department.  Aside from the effects of Hurricane Erin during the New Moon and all that flooding it brought, we had a nice month with mostly low humidity and good weather "beach" days.  Until next year, see ya on the other side!

Happy Labor Day Weekend

Mornin'!  It's 69° in Wildwood NJ.  Humidity's 77% with a dewpoint of 60°.  Ms Sun's up and shining brightly and winds are out of the W-SW at 5-7mph.  More beautiful weather as we kick off this year's Labor Day Weekend.  Although not an official start to a weekend, it is here in Wildwood.  Most weekends begin on Thursday nights here.  And, this holiday weekend is no exception.  Everyone in my neighborhood seems to have arrived as indicated by parked cars everywhere as well as all those nighttime outdoor spotlights that glow brightly everywhere in the neighborhood darkness creating light pollution like no other.  No doubt, there's much more to come before all is said and done Monday night. A mass exodus is up ahead as the Shoobies and Bennies check out after the holiday; some until next year. 
As for this beautiful weather, it's going to continue through Wednesday.  Expect the weather to cooperate for those coming down the shore. We'll have plentiful sunshine today with temps around 80° and W-NW winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... clear, temps in the upper 50s / low 60s and NW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... mostly sunny, temps in the mid-70s and NW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow night... clear skies, temps around 60° with N-NW winds at 5-10mph.  Sunday... sunny, temps in the mid-70s with E-NE winds at 5-10mph.  Sunday  night... clear, temps in the mid-60s with light and variable breezes.  Monday... mostly sunny, temps in the low-70s with E-NE winds at 10-15mph.  Monday night... clear, temps in the low-60s with E-NE winds at 5-10mph.  Tuesday and Wednesday's weather looks like it will continue with the same exact weather.  No more Friday beach tips.  You can always check on previous Fridays if looking for tips.  Speaking of "Fridays", due to the incredible water damage here last Friday by Hurricane Erin (300 miles off-shore) and her incredible push of ocean waters flooding our island, the fireworks launch site and equipment was damaged bringing Friday Night Fireworks to an early close.  There are many, many things happening this weekend all throughout the entire island... North Wildwood, Wildwood and Wildwood Crest.  Just check out the Calendar of Events on this blog page.  https://wildwoodsnj.com/  
Happy Labor Day Weekend everyone!  Be safe!
