We have clear skies early this Saturday morning and temperatures are quite chilly once again ranging from 13 degrees in the Clifton area to some single digits in the normally colder inland spots, winds are from the northwest around 10 mph.
Today will be another chilly day with highs only reaching the low 20s despite plenty of sunshine.
After a very cold Sunday morning temperatures will moderate in the afternoon and high temperatures will be around ten degrees higher than yesterday.
Monday will be a messy winter day as moisture from the south moves into the area, look for a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain to arrive around daybreak and may change to plain rain in the afternoon changing back to snow before ending Monday evening. At this time it looks like the Clifton area will receive less than a inch of frozen precipitation but inland a couple of inches of snow and sleet may accumulate.
Becoming sunny on Tuesday but temperatures will be cold once again.
Sunny on Wednesday with moderating temperatures.
A storm is expected to develop off the southeast coast on Thursday, at this time it appears it will be too far south to affect our weather but still it is a system to watch.
