WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2017  5:55 A.M.

Skies are mostly cloudy to cloudy across the area early on this Wednesday morning and temperatures rose overnight with mid 30s in the Clifton area to the mid 20s in some of the colder inland valleys, winds are light.  Be careful if you need to head on this morning as some black ice may be on some of the untreated roads and sidewalks.  Yesterday I recorded 1.3″ of snow.

Today will be milder than yesterday despite considerable cloudiness, temperatures will rise well up into the 40s but a brisk westerly winds will make it feel somewhat colder.

A cold front will cross the area on Thursday, temperatures will still be a bit above normal but become colder at night.

Cold and dry weather Friday and Saturday.

It now appears that there will be only a low chance of light snow on Super Bowl Sunday.

A more significant storm is possible next Tuesday and Wednesday but with milder air moving in most of the precipitation would fall as rain.
