After some early morning cloudiness we should have mostly sunny skies today with mild temperature and light winds as a weak high pressure builds into our area.

A frontal system will cause mainly some light rain on Tuesday which may start off as a mixture of snow or rain in the morning before changing over to plain rain, no accumulation is expected here but across the Poconos and extreme northwest New Jersey may pick up an inch or so of snow. Rainfall amounts should be about a quarter inch or less.

Clearing on Wednesday with seasonably mild temperatures.

Dry and chilly Thursday and Friday but not as frigid as a couple of days ago.

As been the case much of the winter the cold air will not last long and the weekend looks to be dry with mild temperatures.
