SATURDAY FEBRUARY 4, 2017  5:52 A.M.

We have mostly clear skies early on this Saturday morning and temperatures are quite chilly ranging from the upper teens in the Clifton area to the lower teens further inland, winds are light.

An Arctic high pressure system will be in control of our weather today giving us plenty of sunshine but it will remain cold with highs in the 30s.

Sunday will be mainly dry except for some flurries or sprinkles inland, after a cold morning temperatures in the afternoon will rise to the 40s as winds becoming southwesterly as the Arctic high pressure moves offshore and a weak cold front moves through in the evening.

Monday will be a dry day with near seasonable temperatures.

A significant storm system will affect the area Tuesday into Wednesday with mainly rain although the precipitation may start off as a wintery mix especially inland. Temperatures will become quite mild Tuesday night into Wednesday as a warm front pushes north of the area,  a cold front will cross the area Wednesday night.

Colder again but dry at the end of next week.
