FINALLY - I wanted to say thank you to everyone that has congratulated me on the new job on the "outside world" that I started a little over a week ago. All of your support has meant the world to me. I also want to thank all of you once again for following my weather forecasts & weather updates here at Route 20 Weather. The support you've shown has been beyond overwhelming & I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Even though I have started my new job, we are still in a world of extreme financial hurt right now. It's been one thing after another this year in terms of expenses and finances this year. This includes a significant downturn in my business revenue for my main business, Crown Weather Services. It also includes a fairly large increase in both our property taxes and our property insurance. Finally, the hot water heater in our home still needs to be replaced & we still do not have the funds to do it. The thought of lack of income and these unexpected expenses has caused me to have almost constant panic attacks.

Right now, the receipt of my first paycheck is only a few days away, but even that will only be a partial payment. A full paycheck from my new job is not expected to be received for about two more weeks. So until then we will still be dealing with the ever mounting financial pressures.

So, I am humbly asking for your help, if you are able to. I realize and am very cognizant that everybody is struggling big time right now & this is a big reason why I hate posting this. If you are able to help us out, it'd be appreciated more than you will ever know.

A Second Round Of Widespread Showers & Thunderstorms Are Expected This Evening Across Western & Central Mass & A Couple Of The Thunderstorms May Be On The Strong To Severe Side

For The Rest Of Today Into Tonight: Weather analysis as of the time of this post reveals that an area of low pressure is currently located over southern Ontario and far northern New York State.

A warm front associated with this low pressure system is currently making its way across our area right now. This means that widespread showers with heavy rain at times will continue to impact all of Western and Central Mass over the next few hours. This round of widespread showers will come to an end by between 9 and 10 am across Western Mass. These showers will then end across Central Mass by between 10 am and 11 am this morning across Central Mass.

A break in the shower activity is then expected to occur across the entire area from late this morning through pretty much all of this afternoon. This means that generally cloudy skies can be expected from late this morning through this afternoon. It is possible that an isolated shower or two could occur this afternoon, but most areas will stay dry.

A strong cold front is expected to move through the area during this evening. This strong cold front will bring with it another round of widespread showers and a few thunderstorms between about 6 pm and 9 pm this evening. Given the strength of this cold front, it is possible that a couple of the thunderstorms could be on the strong to even severe side & be capable of producing wind gusts of up to 50-60 mph and torrential downpours.

As it stands right now, a line of heavy showers and a few thunderstorms will first affect Western Mass between 6 pm and 8 pm. This line of heavy showers and thunderstorms will then affect Central Mass between about 7 pm and 9 pm this evening. Again, a couple of the thunderstorms may be on the strong to severe side & be capable of producing wind gusts of up to 50-60 mph and torrential downpours.

Once the showers and thunderstorms end this evening, we will be left with cloudy skies throughout the rest of tonight.

High temperatures this afternoon will be near 65 Degrees. Low temperatures tonight will be near 40 Degrees. Winds throughout the rest of today will be Southwest at 10 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph. Winds tonight will be West to Northwest at 15 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph.

This Weekend: A quite chilly and windy Saturday is expected across all of Western and Central Mass. Skies are expected to start out cloudy during Saturday morning, but will be partly sunny during the afternoon. High temperatures will be around 45 Degrees. Winds will be Northwest at 15 to 20 mph with gusts to 30-40 mph. Wind chill temperatures on Saturday will be in the 30s all day long.

Saturday night looks clear and a widespread hard freeze is expected across the entire area. Low temperatures will be around 25 Degrees. Winds will be North to Northwest at around 10 mph.

Sunday looks sunny with high temperatures between 50 and 55 Degrees. Winds will be West to Northwest at around 10 mph.

Monday Through Next Friday: A stretch of nice weather can be expected next week as a big high pressure system controls the weather.

Monday looks sunny with high temperatures between 55 and 60 Degrees.

Tuesday looks sunny with high temperatures between 60 and 65 Degrees.

Wednesday looks sunny with high temperatures between 55 and 60 Degrees.
