Late Saturday Morning Weather Update For Western & Central Mass

It appears that it will be a showery afternoon across Western and Central Mass as an upper level low pressure system located to our east affects our weather.

There will be a mixture of some sunshine and lots of clouds throughout this afternoon. In addition, I expect that there will be some scattered showers around starting as early as 1-2 pm and continuing through the mid and late afternoon hours. These scattered showers should persist into early this evening before they dissipate by 7-8 pm. It is also possible that there could be an isolated thunderstorm or two during this afternoon as the atmosphere should be somewhat unstable. Any thunderstorms will not be strong or severe, but they could produce some locally heavy downpours.

Temperatures this afternoon will be in the low to mid 70s. Dew point temperatures will be in the upper 50s. Winds will be Northeast at 5 to 10 mph.

TURNING TO SUNDAY - The latest weather data seems to be pointing towards the possibility of some morning showers and isolated thunderstorms. These showers and isolated thunderstorms look to affect the entire area between about 6 am and 9 am Sunday morning.

Once these showers move out of the area by late morning, Sunday afternoon should be partly sunny. High temperatures will be near 70 Degrees. Dew point temperatures will be in the low 50s. Winds will be North to Northwest at around 10 mph.

LABOR DAY looks sunny with high temperatures near 75 Degrees. Dew point temperatures will be in the mid and upper 40s. Winds will be Northwest at around 10 mph.

Labor Day Weekend Weather Forecast For Western & Central Mass

I think that we may see a few scattered showers and thunderstorms affect the area during late this afternoon. That being said, the coverage of shower and thunderstorm activity will quite sparse & many areas probably will end up staying dry.

So, we may see the scattered showers and thunderstorms develop by about 3-4 pm or so this afternoon & then continue until about 7-8 pm this evening when they should dissipate.

No strong or severe thunderstorms are expected from the sparse amount of thunderstorm activity that's expected.

The Labor Day weekend still looks pretty decent. There may be some scattered shower activity Saturday afternoon, but other than that the rest of the weekend looks dry & pretty comfortable in terms of temperatures & dew point temperatures.

FRIDAY looks to feature a mixture of sunshine and clouds. High temperatures will be in the upper 70s to low 80s. Dew point temperatures will be in the low 60s. Winds will be Northwest at around 10 mph.

SATURDAY will be a generally cloudy day & there will be some scattered showers around during the afternoon. These showers should dissipate by sunset. High temperatures will be around 70 Degrees. Dew point temperatures will be in the upper 50s. Winds will be North at around 10 mph.

SUNDAY & LABOR DAY both look like very nice days with lots of sunshine expected both days. High temperatures Sunday will be around 70 Degrees. High temperatures on Labor Day will be around 75 Degrees. Dew point temperatures on Sunday will be in the upper 40s. Dew point temperatures on Labor Day will be in the lower 50s.

Widespread Showers & A Few Thunderstorms Are Expected From Late Tonight Through Thursday Morning Across Western & Central Mass

Widespread Showers & A Few Thunderstorms Are Expected Late Tonight Through Thursday Morning: A warm front is expected to push through the region during later tonight and Thursday morning. It is expected that widespread showers and a few thunderstorms will accompany this front as it pushes through.

Widespread showers are expected to overspread Western Mass by about midnight tonight and then overspread Central Mass by about 1-2 am. The widespread showers are expected to continue through the late night hours of tonight and through all of Thursday. Additionally, a few thunderstorms can be expected from the predawn hours of Thursday morning through much of Thursday morning. While any thunderstorms are not expected to be strong or severe, they will be capable of producing locally heavy downpours.

This round of widespread showers will come to an end during the late morning hours of Thursday.

Scattered Showers & Thunderstorms Expected Thursday Afternoon & Thursday Evening: That warm front will push off to the east by late morning, which means that there may be a couple of hours where there is no shower activity at all & some peeks of sunshine may occur during the late morning and early afternoon hours of Thursday.

A cold front is expected to push through the area later in the afternoon Thursday. This means that there will be some scattered shower and thunderstorm activity across the entire area between about 2-3 pm and about 8 pm Thursday. At this point, it appears that strong or severe thunderstorms are not expected & instead any thunderstorms that do occur will probably just produce heavy downpours and some lightning.

All of the scattered shower and thunderstorm activity should come to an end just after 8 pm Thursday evening.

High temperatures Thursday afternoon will be around 80 Degrees. It will be quite humid throughout the day on Thursday with dew point temperatures of around 70 Degrees. Winds will be West at 10 to 15 mph.

Friday: A mixture of sunshine and clouds can be expected throughout the day on Friday. It is possible that there could be a very isolated afternoon shower, but a majority of the area should stay dry.

High temperatures will be around 80 Degrees. Dew point temperatures will be in the upper 50s to low 60s. Winds will be West at 10 to 15 mph.

Labor Day Weekend: An upper-level low pressure system is expected to affect our area on Saturday before high pressure builds into the region for Sunday and Labor Day.
