High pressure will be building closer to our area today providing mostly sunny skies, it will still be quite cold but with much less wind than yesterday.

Sunday will be a dry and again cold day and winds will be light, we should see some increasing cloudiness during the day as the storm system approaches from the Mississippi valley.

The storm system will then move east and redevelop off the coast, snow from this system will not start till after midnight Sunday night and continue possibly heavy at times into Monday night with increasing winds.

Good morning

Skies are partly cloudy early on this Friday morning and it is very cold and windy, temperatures at 5 a.m. ranged from 17 in Clifton down to 6 at High Point. Winds are gusting to 35 mph making it feel much colder.

CLIFTON’S ALMANAC FOR JANUARY 29TH:

AVERAGE HIGH: 37 AVERAGE LOW: 22

RECORD HIGH: 68 – 2002 RECORD LOW: -2 – 1977

YESTERDAY’S HIGH: 32 LOW: 18 PRECIPITATION: NONE

The combination of a strong storm well out in the Atlantic and high pressure to our west will cause a very strong northwest flow of bitterly cold air. Winds will gust to above 40 mph at times. Highs will only reach the low 20s and with the wind it will feel like the single digits much of today. There is a slight chance of some snow flurries especially over inland areas.

Still very cold on Saturday, but as the high pressure builds closer to us winds will diminish & skies will be mostly clear.

A complex low pressure system will approach the area on Sunday with increasing cloudiness, snow is likely by Sunday night and should continue through Tuesday. The computer models are still not in agreement of how much snow will fall with most models indicating almost a foot of snow, but the latest European model has most of the heavy snow just to our south only giving the area less than 6 inches of the white stuff.

Mostly fair with seasonably cold temperatures Wednesday and Thursday.

Milder on Friday with a chance of rain.

THE FORECAST:

TODAY – JAN 29 – Becoming mostly sunny, bitterly cold and very windy, high only in the mid 20s. Winds gusting to 45 mph with wind chill values near 0.

TONIGHT – Mostly clear and very cold with diminishing winds, low around 10.

SATURDAY – JAN 30 – Sunny with less wind, high near 30.

SUNDAY – JAN 31 – Increasing cloudiness, high near 30, chance of snow at night.

MONDAY – FEB 1 – Snow likely, high in the low 30s.

TUESDAY – FEB 2 – Snow likely, high in the mid 30s.

WEDNESDAY – FEB 3 – Mostly sunny, high in the upper 30s.

THURSDAY – FEB 4 – Mostly sunny, high near 40.

MARINE FORECAST: A gale warning is in effect until 6 a.m. Saturday morning for northwest winds gusting to 45 knots, seas 5-8 feet.

OUTLOOK – No advisories expected from midday Saturday through the day on Sunday; gales expected Sunday night; possible storm warning for Monday; gale warnings expected on Tuesday.

Have a nice day and stay warm, safe and healthy!

A strong storm well offshore will combine with high pressure to our west to give our area a brisk northwest flow of cold air. Winds will gust to 30 mph which will make it feel colder. Skies will be mostly cloudy this morning with clearing this afternoon.

The coldest air of this winter season will be with us Friday into Saturday. On Friday high temperatures will only be in the low to mid 20s and with winds gusting to 35 mph will drop wind chill values to below zero. Saturday will still be very cold but with diminishing winds.

A good chance of a significant winter storm Sunday evening into early Tuesday morning as a complex low pressure moves into the area. Still a question on the track and intensity of the storm and if any warm air will change any snow to rain along coastal areas.

THE FORECAST:

TODAY – JAN 28 – Mostly cloudy this morning then clearing by this afternoon, windy with gusts to 30 mph, highs in the low 30s.

TONIGHT – Mostly clear and windy, gusts to 32 mph, bitterly cold, low in the low teens.

The low pressure that caused the precipitation yesterday and overnight is moving further offshore and we should still be mostly cloudy today but temperatures will moderate somewhat with highs near 40.

Another storm will be developing offshore on Thursday but far enough away to not give our area any precipitation, but will cause a strong northerly flow of colder air on Thursday.

The coldest two day period of the season will occur Friday into Saturday with highs only in the 20s and overnight lows in the low teens. Winds will continue to be strong on Friday but diminish on Saturday.

Still another low pressure area will move into the area on Sunday which will give us a good chance of snow later Sunday into Monday. Too early to tell what the track and intensity of this storm will be and if we get any significant snowfall.
