Good morning everyone!

Skies are mostly cloudy early this morning and temperatures range from the upper 60s in the Clifton area down to the upper 50s further inland, winds are light northeasterly.  Yesterday we had .07″ of rainfall.

After having measurable rainfall on 12 of the last 19 days today should end up dry except for possible morning drizzle along coastal areas. Some sunshine this afternoon will bring temperatures a few degrees higher than yesterday when the high temperatures was only in the low 70s.   High pressure will be moving off the New England coast.  The humidity will be comfortable with dew points mainly in the low 60s.

A warm front approaching the area on Tuesday will cause the humidity to rise with dew points reaching the oppressive low 70s once again.  Showers and thunderstorms are likely late Tuesday into Wednesday morning when a cold front crosses the area.  Some of the rain may be heavy at times with flash flooding a possibility.

After the front goes by we will finally have an excellent stretch of nice late summer weather Thursday through the weekend with plenty of sunshine along with comfortable humidity.
