Today will be a mostly sunny day, but we should still see some haze from the smoke from the western U.S. fires. Temperatures will be warm with highs in the mid 80s and the humidity will be moderate with dew points in the 60s. A front will sag to our south tonight giving our area a chance of showers and thunderstorms late tonight.

With the front to our south we will have an onshore flow of slightly cooler air on Tuesday but we should stay dry with continued moderate humidity. The front will move to our north Tuesday night as a warm front.

Wednesday will be quite warm and humid but a cold front approaching our area will give us a chance of showers in the afternoon and at night.

A chance of showers Thursday and Friday with near or slightly above normal temperatures.

At this point the upcoming weekend looks to be mainly dry and warm.

Warmer again on Wednesday but with a chance of showers at night.

Unsettled weather expected at the end of the week as a couple of weak disturbances will be near our area causing a chance of showers both Thursday and Friday, temperatures will be at or slightly above normal.

Good morning everyone!

Skies are cloudy early on this Thursday morning and there are some showers mainly over northwestern New Jersey. Temperatures at 5 a.m. range from 67 in Clifton down to 62 at High Point, winds are mainly calm.

CLIFTON’S ALMANAC FOR SEPTEMBER 9TH:

AVERAGE HIGH: 77 AVERAGE LOW: 59

RECORD HIGH: 92 – 2015 RECORD LOW: 44 – 1990

YESTERDAY’S HIGH: 84 LOW: 64 PRECIPITATION: NONE

Luckily the Clifton area missed the heavy rain and strong thunderstorms overnight. However parts of western New Jersey received over 2 inches, but the line of storms weakened by the time it reached our area. My station only had .01″ of rain around 1 a.m.

Today the trough of low pressure will only move slowly eastward, so today will be a mainly cloudy day and cooler with a good chance of some showers. There will be gradual clearing at night.

Friday looks to be a nice day with temperatures near normal and it will be a bit breezy with gusts to 20-25 mph along with less humid air.

High pressure will dominate our weather for the weekend. Saturday’s high will be near normal and above normal on Sunday.

Warm and mainly dry weather Monday through at least Wednesday.

THE FORECAST:

TODAY – SEP 9 – Cloudy with a chance of showers, high in the mid 70s.

MONDAY – SEP 13 – Mostly sunny, high in the upper 80s.

TUESDAY – SEP 14 – Partly sunny, high in the low 80s.

WEDNESDAY – SEP 15 – Partly sunny, high in the mid 80s.

MARINE FORECAST: A small craft advisory is in effect until 6 a.m. Friday morning for westerly winds gusting to 25 knots, seas 4-6 feet. There still is a high risk of dangerous rip currents due to Hurricane Larry well out in the Atlantic.

OUTLOOK: Advisories likely to continue Friday through the day on Saturday; no advisories expected Saturday night through Monday.

Have a nice day and stay safe!
