Good morning!

Skies are mostly clear early on this Friday morning and temperatures are nearly 15 degrees warmer than this time yesterday morning with readings ranging from the mid 30s in Clifton down to the low 20s further inland, winds are light southwesterly.

CLIFTON’S ALMANAC FOR JANUARY 22ND:

AVERAGE HIGH: 37 AVERAGE LOW: 21

RECORD HIGH: 53 – 1986 RECORD LOW: -4 – 1984

YESTERDAY’S HIGH: 44 LOW: 20 PRECIPITATION: NONE

A cold front will come through dry this afternoon and will be preceded by a brisk westerly flow of seasonably mild air. After the frontal passage a northwest flow of colder air will prevail.

Much colder and windy on Saturday despite mostly sunny skies, temperatures will have a hard time reaching the freezing mark and with wind gusts to 30 mph will make it feel even colder.

Sunday will again be a mostly sunny day as high pressure builds into our area. There will be less wind and high temperatures will be a couple of degrees higher than Saturday.

The low pressure system that we have been tracking will give our area a good chance of mainly light snow Monday night into the day on Tuesday.

High pressure will dominate our weather Wednesday and Thursday with dry conditions and seasonably cold temperatures.

Another possible storm later next week but present indications are that this storm will be too far to our south and east to give us any additional snowfall.

TODAY – JAN 22 – Mostly sunny and breezy, highs in the mid 40s.

TONIGHT – Mostly clear, low in the mid 20s.

SATURDAY – JAN 23 – Mostly sunny, windy and cold, high in the low 30s, wind gusts to 30 mph expected.

January 21st has the lowest average temperature of the year and now we are halfway through the winter season which so far has been warmer than normal.

Weak high pressure will give us a southwest flow of air as a weak cold front approaches the area. Temperatures will be a couple of degrees higher than yesterday and with somewhat lower wind speeds it will not feel as chilly.

Continued seasonably mild on Friday as another weak cold front crosses the area.

Colder over the weekend, with Saturday being the coldest, with high temperatures struggling to reach the freezing mark and with gusty winds it will feel even colder. Less wind on Sunday with high temperatures a couple of degrees higher than on Saturday. Dry weather is expected.

There will be a chance of snow Monday night into Tuesday but some models have the low pressure moving too far to our south to cause any precipitation in our area.

Another chance of snow later next week.
