Good morning everyone!

CLIFTON’S ALMANAC FOR NOVEMBER 15TH:
AVERAGE HIGH: 54 AVERAGE LOW: 36
RECORD HIGH: 77 – 1993 RECORD LOW: 20 – 1986
YESTERDAY’S HIGH: 53 LOW: 35 PRECIPITATION: NONE
NOTE: On this day in 2018 we received over 6 inches of snow most of it during the evening commute which caused massive traffic delays.
Strong high pressure over our area will give us a mostly sunny day with seasonably cool temperatures with much less wind than yesterday.
As the high moves off the coast, a south to southwest flow of milder air will move into the area and temperatures both Thursday and Friday will be in the 60s.
A cold front approaching from the west, along with a coastal low well offshore, will likely give us rain from late Friday night into early Saturday followed by clearing and cooler weather by Saturday afternoon.
High pressure will give our area dry conditions with slightly below normal temperatures Sunday and Monday.
Another frontal system will give us a chance of rain Tuesday night into Wednesday.
At this time Thanksgiving day looks dry and seasonably cool.
