Skies are mostly cloudy early on this Wednesday morning and temperatures range from the low 40s here in Clifton to the low 30s in the colder inland areas, winds are light.

We will have considerable cloudiness today with temperatures a few degrees higher than on Tuesday.  High pressure is moving off the New England coast as a storm system approaches from the west, winds will increase from the southeast.

Rain should move into the area before daybreak on Thursday as a cold front associated with the storm system slowly approaches, increasing southeast flow of mild air ahead of the front.  The rain with possibly a rumble of thunder will continue into the evening, look for 1 – 1 1/2 inch of rainfall.

Clearing on Friday, it will be a little cooler but still above normal for this time of year.

Cooler weather will filter into the area over the weekend and persist into early next week, most areas will stay dry but there is a very slight chance of a sprinkle on Sunday, the sprinkle may be a snow flurry well inland.

At this point Thanksgiving looks to be dry with moderating temperatures.
