Skies are mostly cloudy early on this Thursday morning and temperatures are mild ranging from the mid 30s here in Clifton down to around 30 further inland, winds are mainly calm.

High pressure moving off the coast will give us a southweesterly flow of milder air today, temperatures will rise to around 50 despite considerable cloudiness.

A frontal system slowly approaching from the west will cause rain to develop after midnight tonight, overnight temperatures will be steady with lows around 50.

Very mild but with rain on Friday, the rain may be heavy at times.  Colder air will filter in behind the front on Saturday and the precipitation may end as a period of sleet and freezing rain well inland.  Total rainfall around 1 1/2 to 2 inches possible.

Much colder Saturday night through the middle of next week although not as frigid as what we experienced earlier this month.   There is a chance of snow Tuesday night into Wednesday morning but at this time accumulations should be on the light side.
