WEDNESDAY  MAY 24,  2017  5:53 A.M.

We have cloudy skies early on this Wednesday morning and there are some light showers in the area; temperatures  range from the upper 50s in the Clifton area to the low 50s further inland; winds are mainly calm.

Low pressure will move offshore today causing some showers this morning. Skies will remain mostly cloudy and with a light onshore wind, temperatures will be a bit below normal.

Another stronger system will give us rain on Thursday tapering off to showers at night. Rainfall amounts will average between 1/2 to 1 inch. With the clouds and rain, temperatures will continue to be cool.

Showers should persist into Friday but with moderating temperatures.

At this point the beginning of the holiday weekend looks to be pleasantly warm and dry, but more showers are again possible on Sunday; temperatures during this period should be near average.   The normal high for this time of year is in the mid 70s.
