Good morning!

Skies are clear and with calm winds temperatures are approaching record lows in some parts of the area, with readings ranging from the upper 20s in Clifton to some upper teens further inland.

Today we will have increasing cloudiness as high pressure moves off the coast and low pressure develops off the Carolina coast and starts moving northeast. It will be cool but much less wind than yesterday.

The coastal low will rapidly develop as it moves northeast well east of our coast, however some light rain may brush the area tonight, rainfall amounts will only be about a tenth of an inch.

Tomorrow will be milder but it will be windy as the ocean storm moves away and high pressure builds from the west.

Thursday should be dry and a bit cooler.

Friday looks to be a cloudy and chilly day with periods of rain as low pressure moves into the area. Some of the rain may be mixed with snow across inland areas.

Milder over the weekend and it will be mostly dry, but there will be a low chance of showers on Saturday and again on Sunday night.
