Good morning

Skies are partly cloudy early on this Friday morning and it is very cold and windy, temperatures at 5 a.m. ranged from 17 in Clifton down to 6 at High Point. Winds are gusting to 35 mph making it feel much colder.

CLIFTON’S ALMANAC FOR JANUARY 29TH:

AVERAGE HIGH: 37 AVERAGE LOW: 22

RECORD HIGH: 68 – 2002 RECORD LOW: -2 – 1977

YESTERDAY’S HIGH: 32 LOW: 18 PRECIPITATION: NONE

The combination of a strong storm well out in the Atlantic and high pressure to our west will cause a very strong northwest flow of bitterly cold air. Winds will gust to above 40 mph at times. Highs will only reach the low 20s and with the wind it will feel like the single digits much of today. There is a slight chance of some snow flurries especially over inland areas.

Still very cold on Saturday, but as the high pressure builds closer to us winds will diminish & skies will be mostly clear.

A complex low pressure system will approach the area on Sunday with increasing cloudiness, snow is likely by Sunday night and should continue through Tuesday. The computer models are still not in agreement of how much snow will fall with most models indicating almost a foot of snow, but the latest European model has most of the heavy snow just to our south only giving the area less than 6 inches of the white stuff.

Mostly fair with seasonably cold temperatures Wednesday and Thursday.

Milder on Friday with a chance of rain.

THE FORECAST:

TODAY – JAN 29 – Becoming mostly sunny, bitterly cold and very windy, high only in the mid 20s. Winds gusting to 45 mph with wind chill values near 0.

TONIGHT – Mostly clear and very cold with diminishing winds, low around 10.

SATURDAY – JAN 30 – Sunny with less wind, high near 30.

SUNDAY – JAN 31 – Increasing cloudiness, high near 30, chance of snow at night.

MONDAY – FEB 1 – Snow likely, high in the low 30s.

TUESDAY – FEB 2 – Snow likely, high in the mid 30s.

WEDNESDAY – FEB 3 – Mostly sunny, high in the upper 30s.

OUTLOOK – No advisories expected from midday Saturday through the day on Sunday; gales expected Sunday night; possible storm warning for Monday; gale warnings expected on Tuesday.

Have a nice day and stay warm, safe and healthy!

A strong storm well offshore will combine with high pressure to our west to give our area a brisk northwest flow of cold air. Winds will gust to 30 mph which will make it feel colder. Skies will be mostly cloudy this morning with clearing this afternoon.

The coldest air of this winter season will be with us Friday into Saturday. On Friday high temperatures will only be in the low to mid 20s and with winds gusting to 35 mph will drop wind chill values to below zero. Saturday will still be very cold but with diminishing winds.

A good chance of a significant winter storm Sunday evening into early Tuesday morning as a complex low pressure moves into the area. Still a question on the track and intensity of the storm and if any warm air will change any snow to rain along coastal areas.
