Mild weather to close out February! Storm to give us rain on Wednesday! Colder with a chance of snow late in the week!


We have mostly fair skies early on this Sunday morning and temperatures are milder than this time yesterday with readings ranging from the mid 30s here in Clifton to around 30 further inland, winds are light.

A southwest flow off a high  pressure to our south will bring much milder air into the area today and with plenty of sunshine temperatures will rise to near 60 degrees, winds will be a little brisk especially this afternoon.

After a mild night.  Monday will be quite mild once again but a weak cold front may cause a brief shower around midday.

Mainly dry and cooler on Tuesday but temperatures will still be above normal.

A storm system is expected to move across the Appalachians on Wednesday causing rain that may be heavy at times, a cold front with this system will move through at night and there is an outside chance that the precipitation will change to snow before ending.

Colder air for the end of the week and there is a chance of snow on Friday, the computer models are not in agreement this far out as the GFS model has the storm moving well south of us and not affecting our area while the European model shows a rather intense low that would give us accumulating snow, so again stay tuned.
