CLIFTON’S ALMANAC FOR JANUARY 3RD:

RECORD HIGH: 62 – 1997 RECORD LOW: 4 – 2014
YESTERDAY’S HIGH: 42 LOW: 31 PRECIPITATION: Few Flurries.
The storm that gave us the high winds the last couple of days is moving further off the Canadian Maritime region. Skies will be mostly cloudy with near seasonable temperatures. Winds will be lighter today but we could still have gusts to 25 mph.
This weekend will be cold and breezy but dry, as Canadian high pressure builds into our area from the northern plain states.
Still rather uncertain with the forecast for Monday as a storm will move to our south. At this time the computer models are not in agreement with the GFS showing a few inches even for our area while the European model only indicates a few flurries.
The rest of next week looks to be dry but cold and breezy.
