Showers & A Few Thunderstorms Expected Wednesday Across Western & Central Mass

For Tonight: An area of high pressure will move to the east as a frontal system approaches from the Great Lakes region.

Clear skies are expected through midnight tonight with an increase in clouds expected during the after midnight hours. Widespread showers and a couple of thunderstorms are expected to push into Western Mass around sunrise Wednesday morning.

Low temperatures will be between 50 and 55 Degrees. Winds will be West at 5 to 10 mph.

Wednesday: That frontal system is expected to crawl across the area during the day Wednesday. This will lead to a couple of rounds of showers and thunderstorms during the day on Wednesday.

The first round of showers and a few thunderstorms is expected across the entire area throughout the morning. Some of these showers will be heavy in intensity.

A brief break in the shower activity is anticipated during the early afternoon hours.

A second round of scattered showers and thunderstorms looks possible during the mid and late afternoon hours of Wednesday. One thing that I will be watching with the mid and late afternoon thunderstorms is the possibility for a strong storm or two that could produce small hail and some 50 mph wind gusts. The area that has the highest chance of seeing a strong thunderstorm or two will be across Western Mass.

High temperatures will be between 60 and 65 Degrees. Winds will be South to Southwest at 5 to 10 mph.

Widespread showers are expected throughout the day on Friday and it looks pretty chilly with high temperatures near 50 Degrees.
