Skies have become cloudy early on this Saturday morning and temperatures range from the low 50s in the Clifton area to the low 40s further inland, winds are nearly calm.

Today we will have considerable cloudiness as a cold front approaches the area and some high clouds filter north from Hurricane Matthew.  Some rain will develop this afternoon and continue into Sunday morning as some moisture from Matthew moves up along the coast ahead of the cold front.

We should see some clearing Sunday afternoon and it will become breezy and cooler.

Mainly dry next week with seasonably cool temperatures.
