A southwesterly flow of unseasonably warm air around high pressure off the Carolina coast today along with mostly sunny skies. Winds again will be a little brisk in the afternoon. High temperatures should reach the mid 80s but will fall well short of the 94 degrees that was recorded in 2023.

Tomorrow record highs will be likely as high temperatures reach well up into the 80s to near 90. Clifton’s record for Wednesday is only 80 degrees and we should easily break that record. There is a low chance of an afternoon or evening shower otherwise it will be dry.

Not as warm on Friday as a weak frontal system moves through the area. Skies will be partly sunny with a chance of some showers.

After a dry Saturday with more seasonable temperatures a strong cold front will likely give us some showers on Sunday followed by much cooler weather for early next week.
