Very pleasant spring weather today! More rain Monday night into Tuesday and again on Thursday!


SUNDAY  APRIL 2, 2017  5:56 A.M.

Our area has mostly fair conditions early on this Sunday morning and temperatures are seasonably mild ranging from near 40 in the Clifton area to the mid 30s further inland, winds are from the northwest averaging 5-10 mph.

Today high pressure will give us plenty of sunshine and with milder temperatures, it will be a nice spring day.

High pressure will move off the coast on Monday giving us increasing cloudiness and as a low pressure system approaches the area from the west rain will develop Monday night and continue into Tuesday, more than an inch of rain is likely but unlike the chilly rain we had on Friday this storm will be associated with milder temperatures.

Wednesday will again be a very nice day and quite mild.

A good chance of another rainstorm for Thursday into Friday.

At this point next weekend looks dry with seasonable temperatures.
