Skies have become mostly cloudy to cloudy around the area and temperatures range from the upper 60s in the Clifton area down to around 60 further inland, winds are mainly calm.

Today we will have more cloudiness  especially over coastal areas, inland areas may see more in the way of sunshine, temperatures will be slightly lower.

Hurricane Jose will move around 200 miles east of the coast line but close enough to likely give us rain on Tuesday and some gusty winds, winds will be higher near coastal areas.  High seas will cause minor to moderate coastal flooding.

Still some showers possible on Wednesday as Jose moves slowly away.

At this time Thursday through the weekend looks to be dry with above normal temperatures.
