Much cooler with showers today: Holiday weekend to start cool with rain, better Sunday and on Memorial Day.


Yesterday we picked up about an inch of rain in the Clifton area but up to 4 inches were recorded in parts of Western Passaic and Morris county.
Today a cold front will be crossing the area, we will still have showers but rain amounts much less than yesterday, however it will be much cooler with a gusty northwest wind by this afternoon. Light rain will extend into the night.
Very dreary and chilly weather on Saturday with a gusty wind along with periods of light rain.
We should be clearing out on Sunday with a little milder temperatures.
Memorial Day will be pleasant with plenty of sunshine and highs closer to normal in the low 70s.
A warming trend starts Tuesday and last to at least next weekend with better beach weather. Guess this holiday weekend to start the summer season is coming a week too early.

Tonight – Rain, low in the upper 40s.

Plenty of showers and thunderstorms through Saturday.


This morning we have mostly cloudy skies and it is warm and muggy, temperatures only dropped to around 70 overnight.
Today we will have plenty of clouds with showers and thunderstorms developing some of these storms could have strong gusty winds and heavy rain especially this afternoon and tonight.
A cold front will reach the area Friday morning bringing with it cooler weather but showers will persist much of the day.
This cold front now is expected to slow down and be just off shore with a low pressure developing on the front so now we can expect showers to continue into much of Saturday and it will be chilly with high temperatures on Saturday barely reaching the 60 degree mark.
Hopefully this system moves enough offshore to end the shower threat on Sunday.
Memorial day will be the best day of the weekend with plenty of sunshine and milder temperatures.
A warming trend by the middle of next week and we could have very warm conditions again later next week and next weekend.
