Good morning!

Skies are cloudy across the area and temperatures are mild ranging from the upper 30s in Clifton down to the low 30s further inland, winds are mainly calm. We had a brief shower overnight but with the milder air only rain was reported.

The weak disturbance that caused the light rainshower overnight will move offshore as high pressure builds in, we should remain dry today but skies will be mostly cloudy, winds will become a little brisk by this afternoon.

High pressure will give us a nice day on Friday with some sunshine and continued mild temperatures.

A stronger low pressure is expected to give us rain on Saturday beginning before dawn and continue into the evening, rainfall amounts may be close to one inch.

Dry weather with seasonably mild temperatures Sunday and Monday but another disturbance may give us precipitation again falling mostly as rain but may start off as a mixture of rain or snow.
