We have mostly cloudy skies at daybreak this morning with the temperature ranging from 40 in the Clifton area to the upper 30s further inland, winds are strong out of the north gusting at times to 30 mph.

Hopefully everyone turned the clocks back one hour last night.  Today sunrise is at 6:29 am and sunset is at a too early 4:52pm.

Yesterday we had just after 1/4 of an inch of rain.

Today we will see the return of sunshine but it will be windy and very chilly, highs will only reach to about 50 degrees and with winds gusting to 35-40 mph will make it feel much colder.  Glad I am not doing that New York marathon today.

Tomorrow morning will be quite cold with readings down near the freezing mark however winds will be diminishing.  Milder during the day with highs nearly ten degrees higher than today and with much less wind it will fell much more comfortable.

Even milder weather for Tuesday and Wednesday with highs reaching well up into the 60s, we should stay dry both days.

Another strong storm is possible Thursday into Friday with possible heavy rain and strong winds.

At the present time it appears that next weekend will be dry but chilly.
