Good morning everyone!

Skies are mainly cloudy across the area early this morning and temperatures range from around 70 in Clifton to the low 60s further inland.   There are some light showers in parts of the area mostly across Central New Jersey, winds are light northeasterly.   Yesterday I recorded .83 inches of rain.

A cold front has pushed to our south and we will have much cooler air today with highs only reaching the mid 70s, skies will remain cloudy throughout the day with a low chance of a couple of light showers.

Monday will be a pleasant day with seasonably cool temperatures and partly sunny skies.

Tuesday will start off dry but a frontal system will likely cause more rain from late Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning, some of this rain may be heavy at times.

High pressure will build into our area late in the week into next weekend providing our area with plenty of sunshine, seasonably warm temperatures and much lower humidity.
