CLIFTON’S ALMANAC FOR DECEMBER 5TH:
AVERAGE HIGH: 47 AVERAGE LOW: 30

Today will be a cooler day as weak high pressure builds into the area. A weak disturbance is expected to move to our south overnight and may touch off some flurries inland but most areas will remain dry.
Another high pressure area will dominate our weather Wednesday and Thursday with cooler than normal temperatures.
As the high pressure moves off shore we will have a southwesterly flow of milder air Friday through the weekend but a rather strong low pressure system will likely give us rain and possible some strong winds on Sunday.
Fair with near seasonable temperatures are expected early next week.
