Good morning everyone!

Skies are partly to mostly cloudy early on this Super Bowl Sunday and temperatures are unseasonably mild with readings ranging from 43 in Clifton down to 33 at High Point. Winds are a little gusty out of the north. The air quality is moderate with an index of 90.

CLIFTON’S ALMANAC FOR FEBRUARY 11TH:

AVERAGE HIGH: 39 AVERAGE LOW: 23

RECORD HIGH: 64 – 2009 RECORD LOW: 0 – 1979

YESTERDAY’S HIGH: 59 (Tied Record high) LOW: 38 PRECIPITATION: TRACE

After having record tying warmth yesterday, today will be slightly cooler but still well above normal with highs in the low 50s despite having plenty of clouds. A weak high pressure system is building into our area.

Still mild during the day on Monday with partly sunny skies.

A winter storm will affect our area Monday night into Tuesday morning, the precipitation should start off as rain Monday night as the low pressure develops off the coast, but colder air will probably change to wet snow Tuesday morning and continue to around noontime followed by clearing. Tricky forecast for snow accumulations as we will have 2-4 inches of snow in Clifton but over 6 inches across northwest New Jersey into the Hudson Valley. Northeast winds will increase. My guess is that most accumulation here will be mainly over colder surfaces and the roads may be just wet.

Mainly dry weather Wednesday through Saturday with near or slightly below normal temperatures, a couple of weak disturbances may give us a slight chance of precipitation Thursday night into Friday.

THE FORECAST:

TODAY – FEB 11 – Mostly cloudy, highs in the low 50s.

TONIGHT – Mostly cloudy, lows in the low 30s.

MONDAY – FEB 12 – Partly sunny, highs near 50. Rain at night changing to snow after 4 a.m.

TUESDAY – FEB 13 – Snow ending around noon followed by clearing in the afternoon, breezy, highs in the low 40s. Accumulations of snow 2-4 inches.

WEDNESDAY – FEB 14 – Partly sunny, highs in the upper 30s.

THURSDAY – FEB 15 – Mostly sunny, highs near 40.

FRIDAY – FEB 16 – Mostly sunny, highs in the mid 40s.

SATURDAY – FEB 17 – Partly sunny, highs near 40.

MARINE FORECAST: TODAY – Variable winds less than 5 knots, seas 2 feet.

OUTLOOK: No advisories expected for Monday; a gale watch has been issued for Tuesday; advisories still possible for Wednesday and Thursday.

Have a nice day and please stay safe! My Super Bowl prediction. Chiefs 27 49ers 21

Today will be quite mild despite plenty of cloudiness as high temperatures are expected to approach the 60 degree mark. My record temperature for the date is 59 set in 1990 and tied again just last year. A weak cold front will give us a slight chance of light showers later this afternoon and evening.

Sunday will remain mostly cloudy and only slightly cooler as weak high pressure builds into our area.

A winter storm is expected for Monday night into Tuesday morning. At this time rain will develop Monday night and then change to snow before ending around noon on Tuesday. At the present time 1-2″ of wet snow is likely in the Clifton area with much higher amounts to our north and west.

Most of the rest of the week looks to be mainly dry with near normal temperatures.

YESTERDAY’S HIGH: 53 LOW: 31 PRECIPITATION: NONE

A warm front passing north of our area will cause mostly cloudy skies this morning, but the clouds will decrease by this afternoon and become mostly sunny with highs mainly in the mid 50s.

A weak cold front will give us a chance of light showers on Saturday and it will be quite mild with high temperatures possibly reaching 60 degrees.

Sunday will be only slightly cooler and dry.

A stronger low pressure area will likely give us rain and or snow Monday into Tuesday; still too early to predict snow accumulations as the track and the strength of the storm is still uncertain, but the best chance of plowable snow will be across higher elevations of northwest New Jersey.

THE FORECAST:

TODAY – FEB 9 – Cloudy this morning then become mostly sunny, highs in the mid 50s.

CLIFTON’S ALMANAC FOR FEBRUARY 8TH:

AVERAGE HIGH: 38 AVERAGE LOW: 23

RECORD HIGH: 62 – 2017 RECORD LOW: 5 – 1985

YESTERDAY’S HIGH: 49 LOW: 28 PRECIPITATION: NONE

High pressure will be along the east coast today and we will again have mostly sunny skies. Winds will be quite light and with highs in the low 50s it will be a pleasant winter day.

Friday will again be mostly sunny and mild as the high pressure moves off the coast.

Continued mild over the weekend, but a weak cold front will give us a chance of light showers Saturday afternoon.

A low pressure system will likely give us rain and or snow Monday into Tuesday. The track and strength of the storm is uncertain at this time. The GFS model would give us a foot of snow while the European model indicates we would have only rain.. So at this time I expect a mixture of rain and snow, with the chances of more in the way of snow being in the higher elevations to our north and west.

THE FORECAST:

TODAY – FEB 8 – Mostly sunny, highs near 50.

TONIGHT – Mostly cloudy, lows in the mid 30s.
