Much Warmer Temperatures Are Expected This Weekend Into Early Next Week Across Western & Central Mass

For Tonight: Any leftover isolated showers will come to an end during early this evening. This will be followed by skies becoming partly cloudy by after midnight tonight. Areas of fog will probably develop during the after midnight hours of tonight as well.

Low temperatures will be near 45 Degrees. Winds will be West at 5 to 10 mph.

Saturday: A southwesterly wind flow is expected to set up across the region during the day on Saturday. This will lead to warmer temperatures across the entire during Saturday.

Skies on Saturday will be sunny to partly sunny with high temperatures around 75 Degrees. Winds will be Southwest at 10 to 15 mph.

Sunday: Even warmer temperatures are expected on Sunday thanks to that southwesterly wind flow.

Sunny to partly sunny skies are expected on Sunday with high temperatures between 80 and 85 Degrees. Winds will be West to Southwest at 10 to 15 mph.

Monday: The weather on Monday is going to depend on the position of a backdoor cold front which looks to push southwestward across eastern Mass and probably into parts of Central Mass. This will lead to large differences in the temperatures across the region.

Skies on Monday will be sunny. High temperatures will range from the mid 70s to possibly near 80 Degrees across Central Mass to the mid to upper 80s across Western Mass & especially in the Pioneer Valley.

Tuesday: It looks like the hottest day of next week will be Tuesday under lots of sunshine. High temperatures will be between 90 and 95 Degrees. It’ll also be humid on Tuesday with dew point temperatures in the low to mid 60s.

Wednesday: Another hot day is expected on Wednesday. Skies during the day on Wednesday will be partly sunny.

A cold front is expected to begin approaching the area during Wednesday afternoon and Wednesday evening. Plenty of heat and some humidity ahead of this front will lead to an unstable air mass across the entire area. Because of this, I think that there will be a scattering of some thunderstorms across the region by late Wednesday afternoon and Wednesday evening. Some of the thunderstorms could be on the strong side & it’ll be something to keep an eye on.

High temperatures Wednesday will be between 85 and 90 Degrees. Dew point temperatures during Wednesday will be in the low to mid 60s.

Given the temperatures on Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday, I’ll probably be installing the window air conditioning units this weekend.

It should be noted that the cold front will push through the area during Wednesday night leading to much cooler temperatures for both Thursday and Friday.

Thursday & Next Friday: Cloudy skies are expected on Thursday & there may be some scattered showers around. High temperatures will be near 70 Degrees.

Next Friday looks cloudy with high temperatures near 65 Degrees.

Rain Is Expected To Continue This Afternoon Into Tonight Across Western & Central Mass

It is going to be a wet afternoon across all of Western and Central Mass as a low pressure system tracks to the south of New England.

This Afternoon: Rain is expected to continue throughout all of this afternoon & the rain will be heavy at times. In addition, a rumble or two of thunder cannot be ruled out. Temperatures this afternoon will be in the upper 50s to near 60 Degrees. Winds will be East at 7 to 14 mph.

Tonight: Widespread showers are expected during this evening with the showers becoming much more isolated by after midnight tonight. Low temperatures will be between 40 and 45 Degrees. Winds will be North to Northeast at around 10 mph.

Rainfall totals by the time the steady rain ends tonight will average around one inch, especially across Central Mass where the most persistent bands of rain will occur this afternoon into tonight.

FRIDAY looks cloudy and there will be scattered on and off showers throughout the day. It will be cool and kind of raw with high temperatures of around 55 Degrees. Winds will be North to Northeast at around 10 mph.

Warmer temperatures are expected THIS WEEKEND as a ridge of high pressure off of the US East Coast sets up a southwesterly wind flow.

Saturday is expected to be partly sunny with high temperatures around 75 Degrees.

Sunday is expected to be partly sunny with high temperatures around 80 Degrees.

Around One Inch Of Rain Is Expected During Thursday & Thursday Night Across Western & Central Mass (Posted Late Wednesday Morning 5/13/2026)

For This Afternoon & Tonight: The rain that we are having right now is expected to be done by midday or so. This will leave a cloudy and likely dry afternoon across the entire area.

Temperatures this afternoon will be between 60 and 65 Degrees. Winds will be South to Southwest at 10 to 20 mph.

Cloudy skies can be expected throughout tonight. In addition, there may be some scattered showers during the after midnight hours. Low temperatures will be between 45 and 50 Degrees. Winds will be South at 10 to 15 mph.

Thursday & Thursday Night: An area of low pressure is expected to form to the south of New England during the day on Thursday. This low pressure system is then expected to hang around near the Cape during Thursday night. An easterly wind flow on the north side of this low pressure system will pull in quite a bit of Atlantic moisture leading to rain throughout Thursday and Thursday night.

Rain will gradually overspread the entire area during Thursday morning. Rain is then expected to continue throughout all of Thursday afternoon. High temperatures Thursday will be around 60 Degrees. Winds will be South to Southeast at around 10 mph in the morning and East to Northeast at around 10 mph in the afternoon.

Rain is expected throughout Thursday night. Low temperatures will be between 40 and 45 Degrees. Winds will be North to Northeast at 5 to 10 mph.

Rainfall amounts during Thursday and Thursday night will average around one inch across the entire area.

Friday: That low pressure system is expected to slowly pull away from Southern New England during Friday. I do think that the low pressure system will be close enough to keep the weather unsettled during much of the day on Friday.

Periods of rain is expected to continue during Friday morning before it comes to an end by afternoon. Friday afternoon is then expected to be cloudy & it’s not out of the question that there could be a few isolated showers around.

High temperatures Friday will be around 55 Degrees. Winds will be North at around 10 mph.

This Weekend: Warmer temperatures are expected to push into the area during this weekend as a ridge of high pressure off of the US East Coast sets up a southwesterly wind flow.

Saturday is expected to be partly sunny with high temperatures around 75 Degrees.

Sunday is expected to be partly sunny with high temperatures near 80 Degrees.
