FRIDAY  JANUARY 26, 2018    5:40 A.M.

Skies are mostly clear early on this Friday morning and with mainly calm winds it is quite chilly ranging from the low 20s in the Clifton area down to around 10 further inland.   If there was snow on the ground these temperatures would be much colder.

High pressure over the area will provide mostly sunny weather today and with light winds and slight milder temperatures it will feel less harsh outside today.

Much milder on Saturday along with mostly sunny skies.   A weak cold front will cause some showers late Saturday night into Sunday morning followed by clearing and still mild conditions on Sunday.

Monday will be cooler but mainly dry during the day.

There is a low chance of some light snow Monday night into Tuesday as a low pressure system moves well offshore.

Colder and dry on Wednesday followed by milder and continued dry weather for Thursday.

Skies have become mostly cloudy early this morning and temperatures are much colder than the last few mornings ranging from the low 20s in the Clifton area down to the middle teens further inland, winds are from the northwest averaging 5-10 MPH.

High pressure building into our area will give us a mostly sunny day after early morning clouds, high temperatures will struggle to reach the freezing mark but winds will diminish by this afternoon.

Quite cold tonight as we will have light winds and clear skies but Friday afternoon will not be as cold as today as high pressure moves offshore and a southerly wind will develop.

Very mild over the weekend, Saturday will be dry but a cold front approaching from the west will give us some rain late Saturday night into Sunday afternoon.

There is a chance of rain on Monday as the front moves slowly offshore.  A low pressure developing on the front may cause some snow on Tuesday although the storm at this time will be well enough offshore to give us any significant impacts.

Fair and cold weather is expected on Wednesday.

THE FORECAST:

TODAY – JAN 25 – Becoming sunny after early morning clouds, high in the mid 30s.

TONIGHT – Mostly clear, low in the middle teens.
