Good morning!

CLIFTON’S ALMANAC FOR FEBRUARY 28TH:

RECORD HIGH: 66 – 1976 RECORD LOW: 5 – 2014

The low pressure that gave us the rain early yesterday morning has moved into Eastern Canada but will still give our area gusty westerly winds but wind speeds will be lower than yesterday. High temperatures will be a little below normal.

The weather will be dry this weekend but not as mild as last weekend. Saturday will be the coldest day of the next several days with highs only in the 30s. Sunday will be near normal with highs in the low 40s.

Milder again much of next week, most of Monday will be dry but there will be a good chance of showers Monday night through Wednesday night as a slow moving frontal system moves into our area. Wednesday looks to be the mildest day with highs near 60.

A little cooler with dry weather expected on Thursday.
