Good morning! Skies have become mostly cloudy early this morning and temperatures are milder than the last few morning with readings ranging from the low 40s in Clifton to the low 30s further inland, winds are light.
A warm front will be moving through the area this afternoon giving our area mostly cloudy skies with a low chance of a shower, southwest winds behind the front will become gusty this afternoon, temperatures however will become mild with highs reaching the 60s.

Sunday will be much cooler with rain developing in the afternoon and continuing into Monday as a strong low moves into the area, the rain may be heavy at times with 1-2 inches expected.
