CLIFTON’S ALMANAC FOR FEBRUARY 9TH:
AVERAGE HIGH: 39 AVERAGE LOW: 23
RECORD HIGH: 60 – 1990 RECORD LOW: 5 – 1979 (Note: on this date in 1934 Central Park had its coldest temperature on record with a reading of -15 degrees)

The low pressure that gave us the snow overnight is moving offshore as a weak high pressure moves into the area. Skies will become mostly sunny by later this morning but it will be a little breezy this afternoon. High temperatures will reach near 40 degrees which will help melt some of the snow and ice.
The high pressure will then give us a dry and seasonably cold day on Monday.
A low pressure system will move mainly to our south on Tuesday with light snow likely Tuesday afternoon and evening. Accumulations of 1-2 inches are possible with more to our south.
Another low pressure system will give us snow Wednesday night changing to rain on Thursday.
Friday looks to be a sunny and seasonably cold day.
Still another low pressure system will give us more rain or snow on the weekend.
