Skies are clear early on this Wednesday morning and with calm winds there is a wide range in temperatures, with 60 degrees here in Clifton to some mid 40s in some of the coolest inland valleys.

A Bermuda high pressure will be anchored off the coast which will provide us with a southwest flow of hot and increasingly humid air today and on Thursday. We should see plenty of sunshine both days.  Some record high temperatures are possible especially on Thursday.
