Skies are partly cloudy early on this Wednesday morning and tempertures are remarkably mild ranging from the upper 60s in the Clifton area to the upper 50s further inland, these temperatures are even above the normal highs for this time of year.

High pressure off the coast will continue to bring warm air into the area, a weak cold front will come through dry this afternoon, temperatures once again should reach the 80s and break some more record highs.   If the temperature reaches 80 degrees or above at New York’s Central Park it will be the first time on record that they have had 3 straight days in the 80s after October 15th and their records go back to 1869.

The front that will cross the area today will then return north as a warm front causing cloudy skies with periods of rain starting near noon on Thursday that will continue on Friday, some of the precipitation may be enhanced if a low pressure over the Bahamas comes close enough before the front moves offshore Friday night.

Much cooler and dry over the weekend as the low pressure moves to the Canadian Maritime region and high pressure builds from the west, it will be windy which will make it feel quite chilly.

Dry weather with  seasonably cool temperatures early next week.
