Good morning!

Skies are cloudy early on this Thursday morning and temperatures are warmer inland than our area with readings ranging from the mid 50s in Clifton up to around 60 further inland, winds are mainly calm.

Yesterday I recorded .93″ of rain.

A front just to our south will remain nearly stationary causing considerable cloudiness today. Disturbance moving along the front will cause more thunderstorm activity late this afternoon into this evening. Most of the severe weather should remain to our south across the central and southern parts of New Jersey but heavy rain is expected in our area with an inch of rain possible. A flash flood watch is in effect.

High pressure will build in for Friday providing more sunshine and milder temperatures with lower humidity. There may be a brief shower in the evening but most areas will remain dry.

The weekend weather will be unsettled with showers possible Saturday evening into Sunday.

Mainly fair and dry weather Monday through Wednesday, temperatures will be a little below normal.
