We're In The Deep Freeze This Last Day Of January! See You Next Year!

Mornin'!  It's 12° in Wildwood NJ.  We're under clear starlit skies and breezes out of the N-NE at 10-15mph giving us a windchill of -2°.  We're in the midst of a Polar Vortex which is basically North Pole weather reaching down and covering the midwest and eastern part of the country which is triggering the coldest arctic outbreak in the last two decades.  Along the eastern coast expect dangerously cold conditions in the forecast for today until the weekend (the weekend brings in warmer temperatures (30s / 40s).  There's a wind chill advisory posted today until tomorrow afternoon.  Take heed when outside and be diligent with covering any exposed skin.  Remember to use the doggie coat on that Pooch.  We will have sunshine today as temps tap 20° with W-NW winds at 10-15mph creating a windchill of around 9°.  Tonight... clear, 18° (wind chill of 9°) and winds out of the West at 4-8mph.  Tomorrow... gray, icy cold, snow flurries/showers in the afternoon.  Next up... February and until next year... auf wiedersehen January!  Oh, also next up... instead of homemade soup, I decided to make a pot of Jambalaya... andouille sausage, shrimp and chicken are in the house!

Vortex Wednesday!

Mornin'!  It's 23° in Wildwood NJ.  It's clear and very cold with a windchill of 13°.  We had snow showers and light rain overnight and there's a very light layer of snow/frost on some things outside (vehicles, trash cans, grass, adirondacks, bench etc.).   Ms Sun's about to rise and shine.  It'll be a sunny start to the day with increasing clouds by late this afternoon bringing some more snow showers (40% chance).  Temps will get up to the mid-upper 30s with W-SW winds at 20-30mph with that windchill tagging along.  Tonight... 20% chance of precipitation with a low of 11° and winds out of the NW at 20-30mph and a dangerous wind chill of 0°.  It's the Polar Vortex as it's checking in tonight.  It seems as though the entire mid-west and northeast is a victim of Mr. Vortex for the next few days!  We won't be getting the mid-west -40° but we'll be rip-roaring cold.  Tomorrow will be sunny with a high of 19° and a wind chill of 2°.   The weekend ahead is supposed to be much warmer (40s).

Gray, Windy and Wet Tuesday

Mornin'!  It's 35° in Wildwood NJ.  It's a frosty morning as we've got frost on everything outside. We also got thick cloud cover.  Breezes are somewhat light out of the E-SE at 5-10mph.  It's brisk and briny out there.  It'll be a gray day with plenty of cloudiness and temps in the low-mid 40s with a 60% chance of rain.  There could be peeks of sun in the morning but the afternoon looks mostly gray as the weather turns wet by tonight.  Winds will become very stiff out of the S-SE at 10-20mph +gusting.  We may see snow showers too.  Tonight... 100% chance of precipitation.  Since temps will be heading down into the upper 20s / low 30s we may see snowy / icy conditions with W-NW winds at 10-20mph +gusting.  No accumulation or anything but it'll be freezing cold and blustery along with the possibility of icy conditions.  Careful out there!  Tomorrow... cloudy with peeks of sun but very cold (it'll feel like the temp is in the teens) with the blustery winds.

Kind Of Gray Monday

Mornin'!  It's 34° in Wildwood NJ.  It's cloudy and breezy (North 12-16mph).  Feels like 25°.   No frost this morning but it's crisp with those North winds going right through you when stepping outside into the darkness of the pre-dawn.  It'll be a mostly cloudy day with peeks of sun as temps hover around where they are now (mid-30s).  Winds will be out of the N-NE at 10-20mph making it feel like 26°.  Tonight... clear, temps in the low-30s with breezes out of the East to SE at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow should be about 10° warmer but wet and feeling raw as there's a 70% chance of rain showers by mid-day.  As the temps drop in the late evening we could see snow showers and/or flurries and even a coating of the white stuff.  Unfortunately, by Wednesday that brute Ol' Man Winter really settles in with 15° (-1° windchill) being the high.

A Mix Of Clouds And Sun Sunday

Mornin'!  It's 37° in Wildwood NJ.  It's clear and calm as it's dark and starlit outside.  It's the darkest before the dawn and this morning's no exception.  It's quiet with hardly a breeze (S-SE at 2-3mph) as the stars are vividly twinkling this morning.  There's a layer of white sparkling frost on everything as winter's lying on the island's surface.  And, that sea air!  Ms Sun's due up in just over an hour and she'll change everything.  Expect that frost to melt away once she crosses the horizon. We'll have morning clouds drift in a bit later which will give way to mostly cloudy skies by this afternoon.  Temps will be in the mid-40s with S-SW winds checking in at 10-20mph.  Tonight... cloudy with temps dropping into the mid-upper 20s and N-NW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow will also have a mix of clouds and sun with 10° cooler temperatures. Speaking of the temps... they will be dropping significantly next week as Old Man Winter has a plan for us which is those frigid winter temps that are heading our way by the end of the week.  And, here's an FYI... Melbourne Australia is having their Summer and was over 100° a couple days ago.  Our Spring is 53 days away and Summer is 106 days away if that helps keep the chill away a little bit.

Lovely Winter's Saturday

Mornin'!  It's 30° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's up and shining brightly.  No breezes to note.  It's a clear, crisp, lovely winter morning down the shore.  The brine is in the air and it's great... nothing like it!  It'll be a mostly sunny day with temps nearly tapping 40° and breezes out of the E-NE at 5-8mph.  Tonight... clear, temps around the mid-30s with E-SE breezes at 7-10mph.  Tomorrow... sunny, a tad warmer (mid-40s) and that ol' sea breeze making it feel cooler than it is.

Decent Winter Weather - TGIF

Mornin'!  It's 33° in Wildwood NJ.  Feels like 26° with the W-NW winds at 10-15mph.  It's sunny and bright with not a cloud in the clear, blue sky.  A 180° from yesterday's miserable wind-driven rains.  It'll actually be a pleasant winters day with lots of sunshine and temps just about tapping 40°.  Of course, the winds will still be tapping us on the shoulder as well out of the W-NW at 18-26mph making a 30° windchill.  Tonight... clear and starlit with temps in the upper 20s and NW breezes at 10-13mph.  The weekend's mostly sunny (clouds in the mix) and much like today with temps around the same as today.  Tuesday evening is when we'll likely see wet weather again.
