CLIFTON’S ALMANAC FOR MAY 5TH:

The upper low pressure that has been giving us the cloudy and cool conditions this past week is finally moving offshore and we should see more in the way of sunshine today, but there is still a chance of some afternoon showers. Highs will be in the low 60s which is still slightly below normal.

For once it looks like we will finally have a dry weekend with milder temperatures and plenty of sunshine. Highs will be near 70 on Saturday and in the mid 70s for Sunday.

During the day on Monday we will have plenty of sunshine again along with continued mild temperatures, but a weak frontal system may touch off some showers Monday night into Tuesday.

Dry weather is likely Wednesday through the end of the week with seasonably mild temperatures.
