CLIFTON’S ALMANAC FOR DECEMBER 28TH:

AVERAGE HIGH: 39 AVERAGE LOW: 22

RECORD HIGH: 64 – 2008 RECORD LOW: 8 – 2017

YESTERDAY’S HIGH: 40 LOW: 32 PRECIPITATION: NONE

Today will start off cloudy with even a slight chance of some sprinkles this morning then it will become mostly sunny and mild. A weak cold front will cross our area this evening.

Dry weather is expected Tuesday and Wednesday as high pressure builds into our area, temperatures will be colder but only drop to seasonable levels.

A storm system will likely give us rain from late Thursday afternoon through New Year’s Day. As of now this system does not look as strong as the storms we had around Christmas with rainfall amounts of around an inch and although there will be gusty southerly winds it should not be as severe as our last storm.

At this point the weekend looks to be dry with mild temperatures on Saturday and then slightly cooler on Sunday.
