Good morning everyone!
We have mostly cloudy skies early on this last morning of summer and temperatures are summerlike with readings ranging from the low 70s in Clifton to the upper 60s further inland. The humidity is also high with dew points near 70.
A cold front will cross the area this morning and it will come through dry. After the frontal passage it will become much less humid with dew points dropping to the comfortable 40s. High temperatures will rise only a couple of degrees reaching the mid 70s under mostly sunny skies.
Autumn arrives at 9:54 p.m. tonight and overnight temperatures will fall into the mid 50s in the Clifton area down to some 40s further inland, these temperatures are actually normal for this time of year. This will be a refreshing change from the humid weather of most of the summer.
High pressure building into the area will give us comfortably cool and dry weather for Sunday and Monday.
A warm front will be approaching the area Monday night and Tuesday with rain likely. Wednesday will be warm and humid again with showers and thunderstorms likely. A cold front is expected to cross the area Wednesday night.
Unsettled weather Thursday and Friday as the front moves only slowly to our south.
