Our area has mostly cloudy skies early on this Tuesday morning and it is quite mild with readings ranging from the mid 40s in the Clifton area ranging down to the low 30s further inland, winds are light.

A southwest flow of mild air will be with us today ahead of a cold front that will cross the area tonight, it will be breezy this afternoon, we should have more clouds than sun.  High temperature is expected to be in the low 50s.

Dry, breezy and colder on Wednesday.  Still chilly on Thursday but with diminishing winds.

Milder on Friday as a warm front approaches the area.

Quite mild on Saturday ahead of a cold front, we may likely see some showers also throughout the day.

Still a chance of showers on Sunday with cooler temperatures but still above normal.

A low pressure system moving up the coast on Christmas Day will give us a good chance of rain, the rain may change briefly to snow inland before ending late at night.

Much colder air will be with us much of next week.
