Nice Weather Is Expected Through Sunday With Rain Expected On Sunday Night Across Western & Central Mass

For The Rest Of This Afternoon & Tonight: A weak cold front that moved through earlier today with little fanfare is now pushing off of the Cape.

A mixture of sun and clouds can be expected throughout the rest of this afternoon. Temperatures will be between 66 and 71 Degrees. Winds will be West at 15 to 20 mph.

Clear skies can be expected during tonight with low temperatures near 45 Degrees. Winds will be West at around 10 mph.

Friday Through Saturday: An area of high pressure is expected to control our weather throughout Friday and Saturday.

Friday looks partly sunny with high temperatures near 65 Degrees. Winds will be West at 12 to 20 mph.

Clear skies are expected on Friday night with low temperatures between 40 and 45 Degrees. Winds will be West at around 10 mph.

Saturday looks sunny with high temperatures between 60 and 65 Degrees. Winds will be West at 10 to 15 mph.

Clear skies are expected on Saturday night with low temperatures between 40 and 45 Degrees.

Sunday & Sunday Night: The next chance for rain looks to occur on Sunday night as the remnants of Isaias are pushed across our region. This is expected to be a fast moving system & thus the rain will be confined to Sunday night. No flooding or strong winds are expected with the remnants of Isaias.

Skies look to start out sunny on Sunday morning, but will become cloudy by afternoon. High temperatures will be around 65 Degrees.

Rain is expected throughout Sunday night & it appears that rainfall amounts of between one quarter of an inch (0.25”) and one half of an inch (0.50”) is quite possible. Low temperatures will be near 50 Degrees.

Monday: Any leftover rain looks to come to an end by mid-morning, at the latest. The rest of Monday looks to feature cloudy skies with some clearing by late in the day. High temperatures will be near 60 Degrees.

A Frosty Night Is Expected Tonight Across All Of Western & Central Mass (Posted at 3:55 pm Tuesday 10/6/2026)

It's definitely going to be a good idea for you to cover your plants or bring them in tonight as a frost is highly likely across all of Western and Central Mass tonight.

Clear skies with light winds are going to lead to some strong radiational cooling across the entire area tonight. This means that temperatures are going to fall quickly once the sun sets. I am expecting low temperatures tonight of between 32 and 37 Degrees across all of Western and Central Mass. This is definitely cold enough to lead to a frost to occur across most areas tonight. It should be noted that some of the more sheltered & normally colder locations may drop into the upper 20s to near 30 Degrees tonight leading to a hard freeze in these areas.

Given the likelihood of a widespread frost and some a hard freeze in some localized areas, you will most definitely need to bring in any outdoor plants you have. If you're not able to bring them in, then I highly recommend that you cover them tonight.
