Cold weather continues today with less wind; Snow for the beginning of spring!


Another chilly late winter morning as temperatures range from the mid 20s here in Clifton at 6:00 a.m. to the teens further inland, skies are clear and the winds are light.

Today will be chilly once again but with much less wind and the stronger March sun will make it feel more comfortable than the last two days but high temperatures will only reach the low 40s which is about 10 degrees below normal for this time of year.

A low pressure system will move from the southeast states to off our coast on Friday, snow will begin around 9 a.m and continue into the evening, computer guidance as come in colder with more precipitation so we can expect around 4-6 inches of the white stuff mainly on colder surfaces, it will be hard to accumulate on the roads during the day but road conditions may become slippery in the evening.

We will have clearing on Saturday with temperatures closer to normal and the stronger March sun will help melt most of the snow away.

Dry Sunday into the middle of next week but temperatures will average well below normal.
