Skies are mostly cloudy early on this Friday morning and temperatures are very mild once again for this time of year ranging from the upper 60s here in Clifton to the low 60s further inland, these temperatures are more than 20 degrees higher than normal.

A warm front has moved to our north as a strong cold front approaches from the west, a very mild southerly wind will boast temperatures up well into the 70s and if we get some sunshine 80 degrees is within reach.  Showers from the front will likely develop by this afternoon and continue into tonight as the front pushes offshore.

Much colder on Saturday as a strong low pressure will be over the Canadian Maritimes causing northwest winds that may gust to near 40 mph, high temperatures will only be in the 50s and with the strong wind it will feel much colder, some showers may linger in the morning with partial clearing by the afternoon.

Not as cold but still breezy on Sunday along with mostly sunny skies.

Seasonable temperatures on Monday with below normal temperatures Tuesday and Wednesday along with dry conditions.

After the remarkable October warmth the last three days today will be cooler but still above normal for this time of year as high temperatures will be close to 70 degrees, a warm front will be approaching the area from the south which will cause considerable cloudiness with a chance of light rain or drizzle this afternoon and at night.

Showers are likely on Friday with mild temperatures as a cold front approaches from the west.

Much cooler and windy weather for the weekend as a strong low pressure moves to the Canadian Maritime region, there may be some lingering showers on Saturday but most of the weekend will be dry, high temperatures will only be in the 50s and with wind gusts above 30 mph it will feel chilly especially after the warm weather we just experienced.

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.

Skies are mostly clear early on this Tuesday morning but there are areas that have patchy fog, temperatures once again are unseasonably mild with readings ranging from the low 60s here in Clifton to the low 50s further inland, winds are calm.  Just a note that last year on this date the low temperature in Clifton was only 31 degrees.

Bermuda high pressure will continue to pump unseasonably warm air into the region today with high temperatures reaching the mid 80s.

A weak cold front will move into the area on Wednesday but we should continue to be very warm however there will be more clouds.

A strong front will be approaching the area on Thursday giving us a chance of showers.  This front along with some moisture from a tropical low now over the Bahamas will give us a chance of rain on Friday, temperatures will be cooler but still above normal.

Much cooler and breezy over the weekend and it should be dry with temperatures actually a bit below normal which will feel chilly after this current warm spell.

Skies are mostly cloudy to overcast over the area and temperatures are much milder than the last several mornings ranging from the low 60s in the Clifton area to the mid 50s further inland, winds are light.

Today we should see considerable cloudiness but despite the clouds the temperatures will approach the 80 degree mark in some areas.

Record breaking heat likely Tuesday and Wednesday as high pressure offshore will pump unseasonably warm air into the region and with more sunshine temperatures will reach the low to mid 80s which is quite unusual for this late in the season.  Looking back on my records which started in 1973 we only reached 80 degrees or more this late in the fall three times,  84 degrees on Oct 22, 1979, 80 degrees on Oct. 18th, 2007 and the latest 80 reading was 82 degrees set on Nov. 1st, 1974.

A front will bring cooler but still above normal temperatures Thursday and Friday with a chance of rain on Friday as the front may combine with a tropical low now in the Bahamas to give us some precipitation.

Dry with more seasonable temperatures for the weekend.

THE FORECAST:

TODAY – Mostly cloudy, high near 80.

TONIGHT – Mostly cloudy, low in the low 60s.
