Good morning!

Skies are mostly clear early on this Friday morning and it is mild with temperatures ranging from around 60 in Clifton down to the mid 40s further inland, winds are light southwesterly.

NOTE: I am pleased to say that my new weather station is now back online on Weather Underground, the readings seem more accurate especially the rain gauge amounts.

Today we will see a mix of clouds and sun and it will be warm and a little muggy. A weak cold front may touch off a scattered shower this afternoon and evening but most places it will remain day.

High pressure then builds into our area, we should see plenty of sunshine this weekend, temperatures will be slightly lower on Saturday but become warmer again on Sunday.

Monday may be the warmest day of the year so far as a southwest flow develops ahead of a cold front. High temperatures should reach the 80s along with high humidity. There will be a good chance of showers as a cold front approaches the are.

Pleasant springtime weather again for Tuesday and Wednesday with near seasonable temperatures.

Slightly warmer on Thursday but a cold front may cause some showers.
