CLIFTON’S ALMANAC FOR OCTOBER 30TH:

YESTERDAY’S HIGH: 63 LOW: 44 PRECIPITATION: TRACE
Yesterday we only had a few drops of rain in Clifton as our streak of no measurable rain has reached 30 days.
High pressure moving slowly off the coast will give our area a southwest flow of unseasonably warm air. High temperatures will be well up into the 70s and we may break Clifton’s daily high of 76 degrees set in 2016. Skies will be mostly sunny.
Halloween will be very warm with highs near or just above the 80 degree mark. The record high in Clifton is only 72 degrees so we should easily break that record.
A cold front will cross the area Friday afternoon with only a slight chance of a shower in the morning. Skies should clear in the afternoon and it will again be unseasonably warm.
Dry and cooler weather for the weekend as another high pressure will be moving into the area. High temperatures will be at or a little above normal.
Milder and mainly dry weather early next week with only a slight chance of showers Monday night into Tuesday as a warm front moves through the area.
