Good morning!

Skies are mostly cloudy early on this Saturday morning, temperatures range from the upper 50s in Clifton down to the upper 40s further inland, winds are from the northwest.

The cold front that caused some overnight showers have moved offshore as high pressure over the Great Lakes builds into our area. Sunshine will return but we should see some increasing high clouds late in the day, temperatures will be seasonably mild.

A series of low pressure areas will be moving through our area Sunday through Tuesday giving us periods of rain from Sunday morning through Tuesday afternoon, temperatures with the clouds and onshore winds will keep daytime highs only in the 50s.

Sunshine returns for Wednesday with milder temperatures but still another frontal system will give us a chance of showers on Thursday.

Skies are cloudy early on this Friday morning and temperatures range from the upper 50s in Clifton down to around 50 further inland, winds are calm or light easterly. There are some scattered sprinkles over parts of inland areas, but most places are dry.

A warm front will be crossing the area this morning with a chance of light showers with the front. Warmer air will then move into our area and temperatures will rise into the 70s. A cold front will then cross the area tonight giving us a chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm.

Saturday will be a very pleasant spring day with plenty of sunshine and seasonably mild temperatures.

Unsettled weather Sunday through at least Tuesday as a couple of low pressure systems will move along the front to our south. The timing of rainfall is still in question as the computer models have a large spread of outcomes. One thing is for sure is that the temperatures will be cool with most highs only in the 50s each day with clouds and an onshore wind.

Fair weather returns for Wednesday but another cold front will give us a chance of showers on Thursday.
