Good morning!
Skies are partly cloudy early on this Wednesday morning and temperatures are chilly, ranging from the low 30s in Clifton to the upper 20s further inland, winds are light southwesterly.
Today will be a mostly sunny and cool day with high temperatures in the 40s. An Arctic front will cross the area this evening with a slight chance of snow showers. This front will be followed by frigid conditions as lows by Thursday morning will be in the teens and with winds gusting to 30 mph will drop wind chills down to the single digits.
A record cold Thanksgiving is likely with highs in the 20s despite plenty of sunshine, winds will diminish late in the day.
The Arctic high pressure will build over us Friday morning, and with clear skies and light winds temperatures will fall to the low teens in Clifton to the single digits well inland. Temperatures moderate somewhat during the day on Friday as the high pressure moves off the coast.
Much milder weather for the weekend along with rain chances as low pressure moves into the area, the best chance of rain will be Saturday afternoon and night.
On Sunday there may be a lull in the rain but more rain is likely early next week.
