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.

A cold front will cross the area on Friday, but it should come through dry, the front will be followed by cooler and drier air.

The weekend looks to be dry and temperatures will cool to more seasonable levels.

Another cold front will cross the area on Monday; showers are likely along with a chance of thunderstorms; temperatures Monday and Tuesday will be slightly above normal.
