Skies are mostly fair although there is some fog in some inland places, temperatures range from the upper 60s in the Clifton area down to the upper 50s further inland, winds are mainly calm.

Hurricane Jose is expected to move north up the coast about 200 miles east of our area, the storm may give us some rain and wind mostly over coastal areas Tuesday into early on Wednesday, even though the track will be offshore there will be heavy surf and possible coastal flooding along with dangerous rip currents.

Improving weather from Wednesday afternoon through Friday, temperatures will be seasonably warm.
