MONDAY  APRIL 24, 2017  5:48 A.M.

Early on this Monday morning skies are partly cloudy, temperatures range from the mid 40s in the Clifton area to the mid 30s further inland, winds are mostly calm.

High pressure will be moving off the coast as an area of low pressure slowly moves up the coast from the Carolinas.  This will cause skies to become cloudy today;  temperatures will be near seasonable levels with highs in the 60s.

The low pressure will cause periods of rain from after midnight tonight until Wednesday morning, with the steadiest and heaviest rain falling Tuesday afternoon and evening.  Temperatures will be cool on Tuesday with the onshore wind and clouds.

After early morning light rain on Wednesday we should see some breaks in the clouds in the afternoon with milder temperatures.

Much warmer air will move into the area on Thursday and be with us through the weekend with mainly dry conditions.
