Good morning everyone!

Skies are cloudy early on this Memorial Day morning and temperatures continue to be chilly with readings at 5 a.m. ranging from 48 in Clifton down to 43 at High Point, winds are calm or light northwesterly.

CLIFTON’S ALMANAC FOR MAY 31ST:

AVERAGE HIGH: 76 AVERAGE LOW: 56

RECORD HIGH: 95 – 1987 RECORD LOW: 42 – 1990

YESTERDAY’S HIGH: 49 LOW: 45 PRECIPITATION: 1.20″

The low pressure that gave us the rain and record chilly temperatures will be moving to our northeast as high pressure builds from the west. Skies should remain mostly cloudy but we should see some breaks of sunshine by this afternoon. High temperatures will be around 20 degrees higher than this weekend but still a little below normal for this time of year.

Tuesday still looks to be the nicest day of this week with plenty of sunshine and temperatures rising to near normal.

A slow moving trough of low pressure will be influencing our weather from late Wednesday night through Saturday with the most likelihood of heavier showers Thursday night into Friday. However unlike this past weekend temperatures will be at or slightly above normal with an increase in humidity.

Looks like a stretch of very warm to hot weather next week.
