WEDNESDAY  AUGUST 30, 2017  5:42 A.M.

Skies are mainly cloudy early on this Wednesday morning and temperatures range from around 60 in the Clifton area to the mid 50s further inland, winds are light.

The low pressure that gave us the rain and unseasonably cool temperatures yesterday has moved well out to sea as a weak high pressure builds into the area.  We will have clearing this morning and it will be a mostly sunny day, temperatures will be milder reaching the upper 70s which is still a little below normal for this time of year.

Thursday will be warm and mainly dry, a cold front will cross the area with only a slight chance of a shower in the afternoon.

Friday will be dry and quite cool once again.

The remnants of Harvey will likely give us mostly light rain Saturday afternoon into Sunday,  temperatures will be quite cool again on Saturday with warmer air moving into the area on Sunday.

Labor Day looks to be the best day of the holiday weekend with dry conditions and warm temperatures.

Tuesday will be seasonably warm but a cold front may give us showers at night.
