Good morning!

Skies are mostly cloudy early on this Thursday morning and temperatures are a bit milder than this time yesterday ranging from the mid 30s in Clifton to the upper 20s further inland, winds are mainly calm.

High pressure along the east coast will give us another dry day with near seasonable temperatures. Skies will start out mostly cloudy but we should see more sunshine by later this morning.

A low pressure system will give our area another rainy Friday, rain from this system should develop around midnight tonight and continue through the day on Friday, the precipitation may start off briefly as a wintery mix across the higher elevations well inland.

Dry weather for the weekend, temperatures will be mild on Saturday but become colder on Sunday.

Another low pressure system will give our area a good chance of rain New Year’s Eve into New Year’s Day, again the rain may begin as a wintery mix inland.

Colder weather is likely by the end of next week.
