Good morning everyone!     Our area has partly cloudy skies early on this Presidents Day and there is a wide range of temperatures with the lower 30s in Clifton down to around 20 further inland, winds are mainly calm.

Today we will see an increase in clouds as high pressure moves offshore and a warm front approaches the area from the southwest, light rain is likely from after 4 p.m. this afternoon through this evening, temperatures will rise into the 40s and remain at that level tonight.

Much milder on Tuesday as the warm front moves to our north and a southwest flow develops, there may be some fog or drizzle early in the morning then we should have some sunshine in the afternoon.

Wednesday will be the warmest day of the week as the southwest flow will push temperatures up into the 70s along with partly sunny skies.

Cooler on Thursday but still above normal and there will be a chance of rain.

Unsettled weather Friday through the weekend with a chance of rain each day, some of the rain may be frozen inland on Friday morning.   Cool temperatures on Friday but it will be milder over the weekend.
