Good morning everyone!

Skies are mostly cloudy early on this Thursday morning and it is chilly with readings at 5 a.m. ranging from 38 in Clifton down to 30 at High Point. Winds are gusty out of the northwest making it feel even colder.

CLIFTON’S ALMANAC FOR APRIL 28!

YESTERDAY’S HIGH: 57 LOW: 40 PRECIPITATION: TRACE

Low pressure over the Canadian Maritimes combined with high pressure building from the Great Lakes will continue to give us a rather strong northwest flow of chilly air despite mostly sunny skies. Also with the gusty winds and low humidity there is a risk of brush fires today and a Red Flag warning is in effect.

Friday will be another mostly sunny day with slightly milder temperatures and less wind as high pressure builds closer to our area.

Very pleasant weather for the weekend with plenty of sunshine both days along with milder temperatures and less wind.

Weather will be more unsettled Monday through Wednesday with a chance of showers each day. Monday will be a little cooler with an onshore flow but becoming milder again Tuesday and Wednesday.
