Good morning everyone!

Skies are mostly clear early on this Wednesday morning and early temperatures range from 29 in Clifton down to 22 at High Point. Winds are gusty out of the northwest to 25 mph.

Clifton’s Almanac for March 8th.

Average high: 46. Average low: 29

Record high: 71 – 2012. Record low: 7 – 1989

Yesterday’s high: 47 Low: 31 Precipitation: .11″ Snow: 1.3″

Low pressure well out in the Atlantic and high pressure building from the northwest will give us a brisk northwest flow and although it will be windy the gusts will be around 25 mph instead of the 40 mph gusts we had yesterday. Skies will be mostly sunny with seasonably cool temperatures.

Dry weather with near seasonable temperatures Thursday into the day on Friday.

A low pressure system will likely give us rain or snow Friday night into Saturday with the best chance of accumulating snow will be to our north and west.

Mostly sunny and continued cool on Sunday.

Another disturbance will give us a chance of rain or snow Monday into Tuesday, again most of the accumulating snow will be further inland to our north and west.
