CLIFTON’S ALMANAC FOR DECEMBER 13TH:

A weak cold front will come through dry this morning with winds switching from the southwest to the northwest. High temperatures will be similar to yesterday with readings mainly in the mid 40s.

Strong high pressure will give us somewhat colder weather overnight into Thursday. Skies will continue to be mostly clear.

As the high pressure moves off the coast a southwesterly flow will bring milder temperatures into our area on Friday along with continued mostly clear skies.

Saturday will be dry and mild but we may see an increase in clouds.

A potentially strong coastal storm is likely Sunday night and may linger in our area into early next week. Mild temperatures should continue so any precipitation should be in the form of rain.
