Skies are cloudy in the Clifton area, temperatures are around 70 degrees and the humidity is still rather high.  Some scattered showers are occurring in parts of the region.

Yesterday we totalled only .37 inches of rain here in Clifton but much higher amounts were recorded across most of New Jersey and the Hudson Valley.

Today a cold front will slowly move east of the area and after some scattered showers this morning we should have clearing skies later this afternoon along with cooler and much less humid air.

We will enjoy very pleasant summer weather both Thursday and Friday with plenty of sunshine, low humidity and temperatures a bit below normal.

The forecast for this upcoming weekend is more optimistic as high pressure will continue to be over the area and showers should remain well to our south.

Somewhat higher temperatures and humidity early next week with a chance of showers on Monday and Tuesday.
