High pressure will be moving off the coast today and we will have a mostly cloudy and mild day today with light winds.
Finally some well needed rain as a storm system approaches our area. Rain will begin late tonight and then become heavy at times through Thursday morning. Showers should continue through Thursday along with cool temperatures and a brisk wind.
The low pressure will loop around our area on Friday with showers continuing with a chance of some accumulating snow across the higher elevations to our north and west. Even here in Clifton we may have some of the rain mixed with snow. Temperatures will be quite cool along with gusty winds. Total rainfall from late tonight through Friday will average 2-3 inches. Which is well needed but will only put a dent into our current drought.
High pressure will build in for the weekend with mainly dry conditions and seasonably cool temperatures.
Mainly dry Monday and Tuesday with milder temperatures.
