CLIFTON’S ALMANAC FOR MARCH 1ST:
AVERAGE HIGH: 44 AVERAGE LOW: 28
RECORD HIGH: 69 – 2017 RECORD LOW: 7 – 1980
YESTERDAY’S HIGH: 35 LOW: 23 PRECIPITATION: TRACE SNOWFALL – TRACE.
High pressure in our area will be moving slowly offshore providing us with mostly sunny skies, high temperatures will be several degrees higher than yesterday with much less wind.
Even milder on Monday and remaining dry as a southwesterly flow dominates from the high offshore.
Mild weather continuing Tuesday and Wednesday with a chance of showers both days, most of the rain will be light as a weak cold front moves through the area.
Dry weather on Thursday as high pressure moves back into our area.
Still tracking a potential coastal storm for Friday but at this time models indicate that the storm will be too far off the coast to give us much if any precipitation.
Colder and windy on Saturday as the low pressure moves well offshore.
