Sunshine returning for Friday but more showers possible for Saturday!


Skies are clearing after yesterday’s rain in which I recorded .60″ on my rain gauge in Clifton.
With sunshine today high temperatures will return to the 80s.
Another frontal system will introduce a chance of showers Saturday afternoon and evening but there will also be some sunshine so the day will not be a total washout.
Following the front high pressure will build in and will produce excellent early August weather Sunday through Tuesday with temperatures below normal with low humidity.
Another frontal system may give us more showers next Wednesday and Thursday with a little higher humidity.
Again looking at the long range computer models there is no indication of any heat waves at least through the middle of August.

Tonight – Partly cloudy, low in the mid 60s.
Saturday – Partly sunny with a chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms, high in the low 80s.

Marine Forecast: Today – Northwest winds becoming west-southwest around 10 knots, seas 2-3 feet.
