The Weather Is Expected To Turn Much Nicer By Friday & Remain Nice Right Through This Weekend Across Western & Central Mass

For The Rest Of Today: Fairly widespread showers with a chance of a thunderstorm are expected to persist through early this afternoon before the coverage of the showers and thunderstorms lessens dramatically by mid and late afternoon. Still though, an isolated shower or thunderstorm will still be possible during the late afternoon hours. Temperatures this afternoon will be between 70 and 75 Degrees.

Tonight: Skies will be cloudy and there may be some scattered showers around from time to time, but especially during the after midnight hours. Low temperatures will be between 65 and 70 Degrees.

Thursday looks generally cloudy and there are pretty convincing signals in the weather data that suggest we should stay dry throughout the day. If there are any showers, they should be generally isolated and occur during the morning. High temperatures will be near 80 Degrees.

Friday is expected to be sunny to partly sunny with much more comfortable humidity levels. High temperatures will be near 80 Degrees.

This Weekend looks quite nice with plenty of sunshine expected on both Saturday and Sunday. High temperatures Saturday will be between 80 and 85 Degrees. High temperatures Sunday will be between 85 and 90 Degrees.

Thunderstorms, Some Strong-Severe, Are Expected Over The Next Few Hours Across Western & Central Mass

I am keeping an eye on a line of strong to severe thunderstorms that are now pushing into far Western Mass. It is expected that these storms will move across the Berkshires during the next hour and reach the I-91 corridor by about 5 pm .

These storms are then expected to push into the western parts of Worcester County by about 5:45-6 pm.

From there, it appears that these storms will push through the rest of Central Mass between 6 pm and 7 pm.

These storms will be capable of producing wind gusts of up to 45-65 mph, torrential downpours and frequent lightning.

I will have more updates as needed.
