CLIFTON ALMANAC FOR JULY 3!
NORMAL HIGH 84 NORMAL LOW 64
RECORD HIGH: 95 – 2018 RECORD LOW: 51 – 2001
YESTERDAY’S HIGH: 92 LOW: 75 PRECIPITATION: NONE
No rain fell in our area yesterday as the showers and thunderstorms that we forecasted missed us as drier air at the mid levels of the atmosphere kept us from any precipitation. Although some parts of northwestern New Jersey had some showers and a heavy thunderstorm with hail occurred around the Long Branch area.
Today will start off mostly cloudy as the cold front moves slowly offshore but skies will become mostly sunny. High temperatures will still be warm in the upper 80s to near 90 but the humidity will lower with dew points falling into the 50s.
A very nice 4th of July is expected with plenty of sunshine, warm temperatures and continued low humidity.
The next chance of showers looks to be Tuesday afternoon and evening as another front will be in our area. Temperatures will be a little above normal with higher humidity.
Unsettled weather Wednesday through Friday with a low chance of showers each day and with more cloud cover temperatures will average near or slightly below normal through this period.
