Skies are clear early on this Saturday morning and temperatures are chilly ranging from the mid 20s in Clifton to the upper teens in some of the outlying areas, winds are light.
After a cool start today will become milder as high pressure to our south will provide the area with plenty of sunshine on southwest winds.
Continued sunny weather on Sunday with highs a couple of degrees warmer than today.
A very complicated forecast Monday through Wednesday as two low pressure systems will affect the weather, the first one is a storm now developing off the Carolina coast, this storm will be quite strong but it should be far enough offshore and not give us any heavy snow and wind. The second low will develop closer to our area on Tuesday but will be weaker. At this time I will forecast light periods of light snow Monday afternoon through Wednesday morning but my confidence in the forecast is quite low in this complex set up.
Clearing and quite cold weather Thursday through next weekend.
