Skies have become mostly cloudy early on this Thursday morning and temperatures range from the low 60s in the Clifton area to the mid 50s further inland, winds are mainly calm.

Today we will have mostly cloudy skies with slightly higher temperatures and humidity than the last few days, there is a low chance of a shower this afternoon and evening as a frontal system approaches from the west.

It now appears that most of Friday will be dry but a low pressure developing on a front to our south will likely cause rain Friday night into most of Saturday, some of the rain may be heavy at times with 1-2 inches expected.

At this time Sunday looks to be mainly dry but some computer models are indicating that there may be some lingering rain especially in the morning.

Monday through Wednesday should be dry with increasing temperatures and humidity.
