A Wet Thanksgiving Day Looks Likely Across Western & Central Mass

For This Afternoon:Partly sunny skies are expected throughout this afternoon across Western and Central Mass. Temperatures this afternoon will be between 40 and 45 Degrees. A West to Northwest wind will gust up to 25 mph at times throughout this afternoon. Tonight: A large high pressure system will control our weather throughout tonight. This will lead to a cold night across the region under increasing amounts of clouds. Low temperatures tonight will be between 20 and 25 Degrees. One thing that we will need to watch for around sunrise Wednesday morning is some very light snow or light freezing drizzle across Western Mass as a warm front begins to move towards our area. Wednesday: That warm front will gradually push across the area during the day on Wednesday. Even with this occurring, it appears that temperatures will be very slow to warm across the region during Wednesday. This means that Wednesday will be a cloudy day and I think that we may see some spotty light freezing drizzle or some very light snow during the morning. During the afternoon, it looks generally dry, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see a brief period of drizzle or some very light snow at times. Even though I think that any light snow or freezing drizzle will be too little to accumulate, we will need to keep an eye on the possibility of some slick roads in some areas. High temperatures Wednesday will be between 35 and 40 Degrees. Wednesday Night & Thanksgiving Day: An area of low pressure is expected to push from the Ohio Valley through the Northeastern United States on Wednesday night and Thanksgiving bringing with it wet weather. Rain is expected throughout Wednesday night and it looks like the rain will continue through much of, if not all of Thanksgiving Day. All-in-all, Thanksgiving looks to be a wash-out, indoors type of day. Temperatures on Wednesday night will remain in the upper 30s to low 40s. High temperatures Thanksgiving Day will be near 50 Degrees. Friday Through Sunday:That frontal system and its associated low pressure will gradually move away on Friday. I think we’ll see more clouds than sunshine on Friday and there may be a couple of rain showers around. High temperatures Friday will be near 55 Degrees. A weak weather disturbance will push through the area during Saturday bringing with it more clouds than sunshine. In addition, a stray rain shower or two is possible, especially during the afternoon. High temperatures Saturday will be between 50 and 55 Degrees. Sunday looks to be a sunny day with high temperatures between 45 and 50 Degrees.

Rain, Heavy At Times, Late Tonight Into Monday Morning Across Western & Central Mass

For This Afternoon: Cloudy skies are expected for the rest of this afternoon across Western and Central Mass. In addition, a few showers are expected across the region. These showers will fall in the form of rain across the valleys while some snow showers are possible in the Berkshires and the hills of Western and Central Mass. Temperatures this afternoon will range from the mid 40s across the lower elevations and valleys and between 35 and 40 Degrees across the Berkshires and the hills. Tonight: A frontal boundary will push towards our area tonight bringing with it a slug of rain, some of which may be heavy at times, late tonight into Monday morning. Rain shower activity is expected to be on the increase this evening with a more steady rain expected to overspread Western and Central Mass late tonight. Low temperatures tonight will be between 40 and 45 Degrees. Monday: That frontal boundary will move through the region during Monday morning. This means that rain can be expected throughout Monday morning and it will be heavy at times. In addition, a thunderstorm or two is also possible during Monday morning as the area of heavy rain pushes through. Total rainfall amounts of up to one half of an inch (0.50”) can be expected tonight through Monday morning. The rain is expected to quickly come to an end from west to east during the early afternoon hours of Monday and skies will clear out during the late afternoon hours of Monday. High temperatures Monday will be between 50 and 55 Degrees. Southerly winds gusting up to 30 mph Monday morning will become West to Northwest and gust up to 35 mph at times during the afternoon. Tuesday: Sunny to partly sunny skies are expected on Tuesday with high temperatures between 40 and 45 Degrees. Wednesday & Wednesday Night: Cloudy skies are expected on Wednesday as a frontal boundary begins to push towards our area. Some warmer air aloft may lead to a few showers of mixed light rain and snow during the afternoon. High temperatures Wednesday will be between 40 and 45 Degrees. That frontal boundary will push across the region during Wednesday night. This means that there will be widespread rain showers throughout Wednesday night. Temperatures Wednesday night will remain in the lower 40s. Thanksgiving Day: Tough and uncertain weather forecast for Thanksgiving Day as there remains quite a bit of uncertainty in the data as to how quickly that front will push out of the area and whether some moisture and energy may be left behind. Some of the weather forecast guidance still shows some morning rain with things drying out during the afternoon. Other guidance show a second slug of light rain to push through the area during the afternoon as a new low pressure system forms to the southeast of Nantucket. And yet other guidance seems to suggest a very wet Thanksgiving Day. At this point, I definitely think it will rain throughout the morning on Thanksgiving Day. As for the afternoon hours, I think we’ll definitely see cloudy skies and for now, I’m going to lean towards the less optimistic and wetter scenario. This means, periods of rain seems probable during the afternoon hours on Thanksgiving. High temperatures Thanksgiving Day will be between 55 and 60 Degrees. Friday: That frontal system and its associated low pressure will gradually move away on Friday. I think we’ll see more clouds than sunshine on Friday and there may be a few rain showers around. High temperatures Friday will be near 55 Degrees. Thank you for reading mylatest forecast for Western and Central Mass.

Weekend Weather Forecast For Western & Central Mass

For This Afternoon: A mild rest of the afternoon is expected across Western and Central Mass. In addition, some pop up showers are possible, especially across areas north of the Mass Pike. Temperatures this afternoon will remain in the upper 50s to low 60s. A southwest wind will continue to gust up to 25 mph at times. Tonight: A weak cold front will push across the region tonight. This means that skies tonight should be partly cloudy and there may be a stray shower or two. Our southwest wind is expected to shift into the west and northwest late tonight. Low temperatures tonight will be between 35 and 40 Degrees. Saturday: An area of high pressure will build across the region on Saturday bringing with it a partly sunny day and mild temperatures. High temperatures Saturday will be between 55 and 60 Degrees. Sunday Through Monday:Another frontal system will push towards our area during Sunday before it moves across our area during Monday. I think that we may squeak out a dry day on Sunday with partly sunny skies to start the day and increasing clouds during the afternoon. High temperatures Sunday will be near 45 Degrees. Widespread rain showers look likely from about Sunday evening until midday Monday. Some partial clearing is possible by late afternoon Monday. Low temperatures Sunday night will be near 40 Degrees. High temperatures Monday will be between 50 and 55 Degrees. Tuesday Through Wednesday: Sunny skies are expected on Tuesday with high temperatures between 40 and 45 Degrees. Cloudy skies are expected on Wednesday and there may be some isolated showers during the late afternoon hours. High temperatures Wednesday will be near 50 Degrees. Thanksgiving Day: The weather looks wetter on Thanksgiving Day than previously thought as an area of low pressure may pass by the area. With that said, the weather guidance that I look at when writing a forecast are all in disagreement on when exactly the rain will push out of the area. Some guidance show the rain occurring on Wednesday night and dry weather on Thanksgiving. Other guidance are showing a fairly wet Thanksgiving Day. At this point, I’m thinking that at least the morning hours will feature rain across the region with drier weather moving in during the afternoon hours on Thanksgiving Day. High temperatures will be near 50 Degrees. Thank you for reading mylatest forecast for Western and Central Mass.
