Record cold April 16th!


Temperatures this morning in the Clifton area have fallen into the 20s with wind chills in the teens. The 28 degree temperature at 6am in Clifton is a record low for April 16th.

Hard to believe that after having an 80 degree reading on Monday that we would have accumulating snow Tuesday night.  I received 1/2 inch of the white stuff with a couple of inches reported across inland sections.

Unseasonably cold weather will continue today with most highs only in the upper 40s, gusty winds this morning will diminish this afternoon.

Near record low temperatures are likely early Thursday morning then it will become just a little milder, winds will be light.

Abrupt end to our summer preview; Freeze warning for tonight!


Unseasonably mild temperatures again early this morning with most readings in the low 60s.  Some scattered showers are in the area.

A very strong cold front will be crossing the area later this afternoon preceded by mild temperatures and heavy showers and some isolated thunderstorms, strong gusty southerly winds gusting to 30 mph are likely. Temperatures will remain mild climbing to the upper 60s.

After the front passes winds will switch to the north bringing down much colder air, showers heavy at times will persist along with wind gusts up to 35 mph.  The precipitation may briefly change to snow before ending during the early morning hours on Wednesday, no accumulations are expected.  A freeze warning is in effect for tonight so it would be a good idea to cover or bring in tender plants and vegetables.  Lows by morning will fall to around 30 in the Clifton area to 20s further inland which is more than 30 degrees colder than this morning. Total rain amounts will be around 1.5 inches.

It will clear out on Wednesday with diminishing winds, highs will only be in the low 50s.

Dry and cool weather will continue Thursday into most of the day on Friday.

The next chance of rain will be Friday night into Saturday, temperatures will only slowly moderate.

At this point it will be a very pleasant Easter Sunday with dry conditions and seasonable temperatures with highs in the lower 60s.

Continued dry with seasonable temperatures on Monday.

One more warm day then big changes to our weather!


It is very mild this early morning for this time of year as the temperature only fell to around the 60 degree mark, skies are partly cloudy with a light southerly breeze.

It was a wonderful day yesterday weatherwise and for our family as Sullivan (future weatherperson) came into this world at 6:27am, the weather at that time was cloudy and a temperature of 48 degrees, after those clouds broke temperatures rose to almost record warm readings reaching the lower 80s.

Today will be continue to be quite warm for this time of year with highs reaching at least the upper 70s, skies will be partly sunny.

Tonight will be quite mild again but clouds will increase.

An impressive cold front will be approaching our area from the west with showers likely before daybreak tomorrow and become heavy at times during the day, winds will increase from the south.

The strong cold front will cross the area Tuesday evening with heavy rain showers, winds will become northerly after the frontal passage causing dramatically colder air to flow into our area.  The precipitation is likely to change to snow (yes snow!) before ending early on Wednesday morning, there should be no accumulation in our area but a coating of snow is possible across northwest New Jersey and the Poconos.

Clearing with much cooler weather on Wednesday, highs will have a hard time reaching the 50 degree mark.

Still cool and dry Thursday and Friday.

Saturday will be the next chance of showers that hopefully will end before daybreak on Easter Sunday, temperatures will only slowly moderate during this time frame.

 

The forecast: Today – Partly sunny, high in the upper 70s.

Tonight – Becoming cloudy with rain showers likely before daybreak, low in the upper 50s.

Tuesday – Showers heavy at times and windy, high in the mid 60s

Tuesday night – Showers heavy at times changing to snow before ending before daybreak on Wednesday, windy and much colder, low around 30.

Wednesday – Sunny, high in only near 50.

Thursday – Mostly sunny, high in the mid 50s.

Friday – Partly sunny, high in the mid 50s.

Saturday – Cloudy with a chance of showers, high in the upper 50s.

Warm weather to end weekend!


Skies are mostly cloudy in the Clifton area and temperatures are near 50 degrees, 40s inland.

The clouds should break this morning and we will experience mostly sunny and it will be warm once again with temperatures well up into the 70s, much cooler along coastal areas.

Another warm day on Monday but clouds will increase toward evening.

A strong cold front will move across the area on Tuesday with heavy rain and strong winds. It will be much colder following the front and the rain may mix with snow before ending early on Wednesday morning,

Dry and cool weather Wednesday into Friday.

The next chance of showers will be on Saturday with clearing and cool weather expected on Easter Sunday.

Fantastic weather for the weekend!


Skies are clear in the Clifton area and temperatures are in the mid 40s.

Yesterday temperatures reached 77 degrees in Clifton which was the highest reading since last October 7th, also the cold front didn’t give us the steady rain at night that was in the forecast as only a couple of sprinkles fell.

Warm and sunny weather will continue on Sunday with temperatures well up into the 70s.

More in the way of clouds on Monday but it will remain warm.

A cold front will move into the area early on Tuesday with rain that may be heavy at times and as colder air moves in don’t be surprised to see a snow flake or two before the precipitation ends early Wednesday morning.
