Good morning everyone!
Skies are mostly clear early on this Monday morning and temperatures at 5 a.m. range from 38 in Clifton down to 31 at High Point. Winds are a little gusty out of the northwest.
CLIFTON’S ALMANAC FOR APRIL 4TH:
AVERAGE HIGH: 56 AVERAGE LOW: 38
RECORD HIGH: 79 – 1974 RECORD LOW: 25 – 1995
YESTERDAY’S HIGH: 46 LOW: 39 PRECIPITATION: .11″
After a chilly damp day with even some snow in the higher elevations across the northwest part of the state today will be a dry and milder day. Gusty winds this morning will slowly diminish this afternoon. Weak high pressure will dominate our weather today. Skies will start off mostly clear but we should have some increase in clouds this afternoon.
Most of Tuesday will be dry but the first in a series of low pressure will give us rain Tuesday night into Wednesday.
After a brief break in the rain Wednesday night into Thursday morning another low pressure will move into our area causing more rain Thursday afternoon through early Friday morning.
Friday and Saturday look mainly dry but there still will be a chance of showers both days as an upper level trough will be over our area.
Sunday looks to be dry. Temperatures Tuesday through the weekend will be near seasonable levels with Friday being our mildest day.
A significant change in the pattern should give us well above normal temperatures much of next week.
