Good morning everyone!
Skies are cloudy early on this Saturday morning and some areas have some snow flurries. Early temperatures range from 32 in Clifton down to 25 at High Point. Winds are a little gusty out of the north-northwest.
CLIFTON’S ALMANAC FOR JANUARY 14TH:
AVERAGE HIGH: 36 AVERAGE LOW: 21
RECORD HIGH: 67 – 2005 RECORD LOW: -1 – 1988
YESTERDAY’S HIGH: 56 LOW: 35 PRECIPITATION: .06″
Today will be another mainly cloudy day and it will be colder with highs only in the 30s which is actually normal for mid January. Winds will be a little gusty out of the north which will make it feel colder. Low pressure is offshore as high pressure tries to build into our area from the west.
Still breezy on Sunday but we should see more sunshine and slightly milder temperatures as the high pressure builds closer to our area from the west.
Above normal temperatures should continue much of next week. A weak disturbance will cause mostly cloudy skies on Tuesday but with only a slight chance of showers. A stronger system will likely give us rain on Thursday that may start off as a wintery mix mainly well inland from our area.
