Good morning everyone!

Skies are mainly clear early this morning and temperatures are on the cool side ranging from the low 60s in the Clifton area down to some upper 40s further inland, winds are light and the humidity is low.

High pressure will give our area more nice summer weather today and on Friday with plenty of sunshine both days along with seasonably warm temperatures and low humidity as dew points will be in the comfortable upper 40s to the mid 50s.

As the high moves offshore a low pressure disturbance is expected to move up the coast which will give us rain from late Saturday afternoon into Sunday, some of the rain will be heavy at times.  It will become more humid.

A blocking pattern with a strong high pressure over the Atlantic and low pressure trough to our west will give us a southerly flow of humid air Monday through at least Wednesday causing mostly cloudy skies each day with a chance of showers and thunderstorms.
