Good morning!

Skies are cloudy early this morning and temperatures range from the freezing mark in Clifton down to the mid 20s further inland, winds are light northerly. After yesterday’s snow and freezing rain untreated roads and sidewalks may be icy early this morning. Yesterday I recorded 2 inches of snow and ice accumulation.

The low pressure responsible for yesterday’s mess is moving away and a westerly flow of drier air will move into our area, temperatures will rise into the 50s, melting much of the snow and ice we received yesterday. It will become mostly sunny and winds will be brisk. Note – last year on this date the temperature rose to a record breaking 80 degrees.

Dry weather with slightly above normal temperatures Friday into the day on Saturday.

A low pressure area will give us rain Saturday night into Sunday morning, the rain may be heavy at times.

Sunday afternoon and Monday will be dry but with strong winds on the back side of the low pressure that will be moving into the Canadian maritime region.

After a dry Tuesday some rain or snow showers are possible on Wednesday.

THE FORECAST:

TODAY – FEB 21 – Becoming sunny and mild, high in the low 50s.

TONIGHT – Partly cloudy, low near 30.

Good morning!

Skies are cloudy early on this Wednesday morning and temperatures range from the mid 20s in Clifton to the upper teens further inland, winds are light northerly.

A low pressure system will move into the area today with snow developing around 1 p.m. and may come down moderately at times this afternoon. The timing for the snow is similar to the November storm that caused massive traffic problems but hopefully the snow will not come down as heavy as back then. Still it still could be a mess. Total accumulations of 2-4 inches are likely. The precipitation will change to sleet and freezing rain this evening before changing to all rain before ending mainly before daybreak tomorrow.

Some sunshine by tomorrow afternoon will help temperatures rise into the 50s ahead of a cold front that will come through at night.

Seasonably mild and dry Friday into the day on Saturday but another storm system will give us precipitation Saturday night into Sunday, this time it will be warm enough so only plain rain is expected.

Dry weather with near seasonable temperatures early next week.

THE FORECAST:

TODAY – FEB 20 – Cloudy with snow developing mainly after 1 p.m, high in the low 30s, snow accumulation of 2-4 inches expected.

Good morning!

Skies are cloudy early on this Monday morning and there is some light rain and drizzle falling. Temperatures range from around 32 in Clifton down to the mid 20s further inland.

A cold front will come through tonight, temperatures will fall down to near 20 degrees by daybreak on Tuesday.

Tuesday will be a chilly day despite having plenty of sunshine as high pressure builds over the area.

Dry with seasonably mild temperatures are expected on Friday.

Another storm system will give us a chance of precipitation over the weekend, but at this time temperatures will be mild enough so whatever falls will be in the form of liquid rain.
