Dry and cold weekend followed by mainly rain on Monday!


Skies are clear early this Saturday morning and we have the coldest readings of the season as temperatures have fallen to the mid 20s in the Clifton area to around 20 further inland, winds are light.

Today we will have plenty of sunshine however temperatures will only reach the low 40s, winds will be a little lighter than what we experienced on Friday.

Dry weather will continue on Sunday but as an area of low pressure moves toward our area expect increasing cloudiness, Sunday’s highs will be a couple of degrees higher than today.

The storm system will bring precipitation into our area after midnight tomorrow night, the precipitation may start out as a mixture of snow and rain in the Clifton area but quickly change to rain before daybreak on Monday, inland will have a better chance of seeing accumulating snow and ice early Monday before changing to rain.  The precipitation may change back to snow before ending before daybreak on Tuesday.

Even colder weather is expected Tuesday and Wednesday with highs only reaching the 30s and overnight lows near 20 in the Clifton area to many teens inland.  Winds will be brisk on Tuesday but lighter on Wednesday. Skies will be mostly clear.

Dry with slowly moderating temperatures Thursday and Friday but readings will still be below normal for this time of year.

Skies are mostly cloudy at daybreak this morning and the precipitation has ended, temperatures are in the low 30s in the Clifton area to the 20s further inland.

Overnight we saw our first snow of the season, here in Clifton we only had some accumulation on car tops but inland  three inches was reported on Schooleys Mountain in Morris County and four inches at Highland Lakes in Sussex County.

Clearing will take place today but it will be unseasonably cold for this time of year with highs mostly in the 40s.

Below normal temperatures will continue on the weekend with dry conditions.

Another storm system will be moving just to our east on Monday with more precipitation with heavier amounts of rain or snow starting before daybreak on Monday and ending early Tuesday morning.  Precipitation will be mainly rain in the Clifton area but several inches of snow is possible well inland, difficult to pinpoint accomulations right now as it depends on the track of the storm where the rain/snow line will set up.

Dry and even colder weather Tuesday through Thursday.

Today we will see increasing clouds during the day along with chilly temperatures.

The storm system that we have been watching looks like it will be a little more robust than what was indicated yesterday and with cold air in place it is likely that we will have see our first snow of the season late tonight.  Precipitation will start out as a mix of snow and rain later this evening changing to all snow overnight, look for 1/2 an inch to an inch of snowfall by daybreak tomorrow morning,  untreated roads and sidewalks may be slippery for tomorrow morning’s commute.

Clearing during the day Friday with cold temperatures.

The weekend will be dry and continued cold.

Another storm system will likely give us more precipitation on Monday and we may see snow changing to rain and then back to snow before ending, at this time no accumulation is expected in our area but further inland may see an inch or two of snow.
