SATURDAY  APRIL 1, 2017  5:58 A.M.

Skies are cloudy early on this Saturday morning and there is some drizzle or light rain falling, temperatures are chilly ranging from the low to mid 30s, winds are from the north averaging around 10 mph. 1.54 inches of rain fell yesterday in Clifton.

Low pressure off the New Jersey coast will move further out to sea today, light rain and drizzle should end by noontime but clouds should remain most of the day with possibly some clearing by sunset; temperatures will be chilly not rising out of the 40s.

Much better weather on Sunday as high pressure builds into the area, we should see plenty of sunshine and milder temperatures.

It will be dry during the day on Monday but another low pressure area will likely give us some more widespread rain falling from Monday night through Tuesday.

Dry and quite mild on Wednesday but still another low pressure area will give us a chance of more rain at the end of next week. Temperatures most of next week will be near to slightly above normal.
