Skies are mostly clear early on this Wednesday morning and temperatures range from the low 40s in the Clifton area to the mid 30s further inland, winds are light.

Yesterday’s forecast called for only about 1/4″ of rainfall but the coastal storm came closer to our area and intensified dumping 1.88″ of well needed rain, in fact Newark had a daily rainfall record of 2.79″ causing some flooding.

High pressure will build into the area today and be with us through Friday giving us mostly sunny days with mild temperatures with highs mostly in the low 60s.

A cold front will approach the area on Saturday which will give us some increasing cloudiness and some rain showers developing late at night.

Much colder and windy on Sunday along with a chance of rain showers continuing and as colder air moves in the rain may turn into snow showers in the evening.

High pressure will then dominate the weather Monday through Wednesday along with chilly temperatures.

At this point models are indicating a possible rain storm for Thanksgiving Day.
