WEDNESDAY MARCH 8, 2017 6:00 A.M.
A cold front is currently moving through the area accompanied by showers and windy conditions, temperatures have started off quite mild with readings ranging from the mid 50s in the Clifton area to the low 40s further inland. A wind gust of 35 mph was just recorded on my station as the front comes through and temperature fell 10 degrees in a half of an hour.
Showers will end this morning but it will be windy, temperatures may drop into the 40s this morning but with sunshine high temperatures may rise to above the 60 degree mark.
Tomorrow looks to be a mild and dry day but breezy, another cold front should cross the area Thursday night.
A disturbance on the front will likely give us rain changing to snow on Friday morning, accumulations should be in the 1-2 inch range.
The weekend will again be very cold but the disturbance that we have be following should be too far south to give us any precipitation.
A stronger low pressure may give us some significant rain, snow or a wintery mix on Tuesday.
