MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 4, 2017. 7:23 A.M.

We have mostly fair skies early on this Labor Day and temperatures range from the upper 50s in the Clifton area down to the upper 40s further inland where there may be some pockets of fog, winds are light.

Today will be a nice summer like day with plenty of sunshine and seasonably warm temperatures as high pressure over Tennessee gives us a southwest flow of air.  Tonight will be mostly clear with quite mild temperatures.

Tomorrow the high pressure will move off the coast, it will be a warm day with an increase in humidity, there will be an increase in clouds with a chance of showers late in the afternoon as a cold front approaches the area.

Showers and possibly some strong thunderstorms Tuesday night with showers likely Wednesday into Thursday with cooler temperatures.

Friday through the weekend should be dry with cooler than average temperatures.
