Skies are partly cloudy early on this Thursday morning and it is unseasonably mild with temperatures ranging from the mid 50s here in Clifton to around 50 further inland, we have brisk winds out of the southwest.

The storm that produced severe weather in the south and along the east coast with blizzard conditions in  parts of the midwest has moved to the eastern Great Lakes.  Here we had a storm total of 2.31 inches of rain along with the first February thunderstorm in 15 years.   Today we will have variable cloudiness along with a chance of a light shower, winds will be gusty and temperatures will fall from the present readings to the 40s by later this afternoon.

Much colder and windy on Friday with most highs staying in the upper 30s despite plenty of sunshine.

After a cold morning on Saturday with some readings in the teens it will become a little milder in the afternoon along with less wind.

Mild temperatures return for Sunday and last into the midweek period, we will be mainly dry but there may be some showers on Wednesday.

Looking further ahead it looks like another storm that will give us some more rain next Thursday and Friday.
