Lots of clouds, fog and drizzle as we start out this Saturday, temperature now in Clifton is above freezing at 34 degrees, at the higher elevations inland the drizzle may be freezing in those areas.. Temperatures will warm into the low 40s so the precipitation that falls will be all liquid that will continue into tonight.
As winds becoming more northerly early Sunday morning the precipitation may be in the form of light snow or freezing rain inland once again. By mid-day on Sunday the temperatures will rise back into the 40s so anything that falls will be just plain rain before ending in the afternoon.
Monday will be a nicer day with plenty of sunshine and seasonably mild temperatures.
Tuesday and Wednesday looks like a repeat of this weekend with rain that may start out frozen inland on Tuesday morning..
Thursday and Friday will be mostly cloudy with still a chance of showers.
