Our area has mostly clear conditions early on this Thursday morning and with the clear skies and light winds there is a wide range of temperatures ranging from the mid 40s in the Clifton area down to the low 30s with some frost in some areas of northwest New Jersey.

High pressure will be moving off the coast today and we should see an increase in clouds by this afternoon as a storm system over the Tennessee Valley moves toward our area, rain from this system should hold off until after midnight.

The low pressure system will move into our area on Friday causing rain heavy at times with possibly some thunderstorms, rainfall amounts of 1-2 inches are expected.

The service low pressure will move away on Saturday but an upper low will be in our area for the weekend giving us cool conditions with possible showers but most of the time it will be dry.

Cool and mainly dry weather Monday through Wednesday of next week.
