Tonight we will see many record low temperatures in the area with slowly diminishing winds.

Still unseasonably cold on Wednesday but will much lighter winds.

Not as cold but still below normal temperatures on Thursday but another cold front will give us a reinforced bout of cold weather for Friday and Saturday but not as harsh as today and tomorrow’s weather but temperatures will still be well below normal.  The only positive with this upcoming cold few days that we will remain dry and no snow is expected.

Finally milder on Sunday into early next week but with the mild air there will be a chance of showers.

Overnight we saw our first snow of the season, here in Clifton we only had some accumulation on car tops but inland  three inches was reported on Schooleys Mountain in Morris County and four inches at Highland Lakes in Sussex County.

Clearing will take place today but it will be unseasonably cold for this time of year with highs mostly in the 40s.

Below normal temperatures will continue on the weekend with dry conditions.

Another storm system will be moving just to our east on Monday with more precipitation with heavier amounts of rain or snow starting before daybreak on Monday and ending early Tuesday morning.  Precipitation will be mainly rain in the Clifton area but several inches of snow is possible well inland, difficult to pinpoint accomulations right now as it depends on the track of the storm where the rain/snow line will set up.
