Skies are partly cloudy early on this Friday morning and temperatures range from the mid 60s here in Clifton to the mid 50s further inland, winds are nearly calm.

Today a warm front will be approaching from the south and a cold front approaches from the west setting the stage for the  possibility of severe weather later this afternoon and evening, some storms may be accompanied by damaging winds and hail and there is even a slight chance of a small tornado, the best chance of storms would be from 4 p.m. till 10 p.m.  Partial clearing after midnight as the cold front crosses the area.

High pressure will then build across the area for the holiday weekend giving us ideal weather with warm temperatures, low humidity and plenty of sunshine along with a nice breeze.

It now appears that Tuesday will remain dry a front will be too far to our south to cause any precipitation in our area.

High pressure will build into our area for the Wednesday through Friday period with quite warm temperatures and increasing humidity by late in the week.
