Some Light Snow Is Expected Late Saturday Night Into Sunday Morning Across Parts Of Western & Central Mass (Issued: Early Friday Afternoon 12/12/2025)

For The Rest Of This Afternoon: A windy and cold rest of the afternoon is expected under sunny skies.

Temperatures will be between 25 and 30 Degrees. Winds will be West at 15 to 25 mph with gusts to 35 mph.

Tonight: Clear skies with diminishing winds can be expected tonight. Low temperatures will be near 20 Degrees. Winds will be West at 10 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph before midnight and West at 10 to 15 mph after midnight.

Saturday: Skies are expected to become cloudy during the morning and remain cloudy during the afternoon. In addition, it now appears that some scattered snow showers could occur during the late morning into afternoon hours as a weather disturbance pushes across the area. Any snow accumulations with the snow showers that do occur should amount to a dusting, at most.

High temperatures will be near 35 Degrees. Winds will be Southwest at 10 to 20 mph.

Saturday Night & Sunday: The weather forecast for late Saturday night into Sunday morning continues to be quite uncertain as a low pressure system is expected to track just to the south of New England. At the same time this is occurring, drier air will be working in from the northwest causing a sharp cutoff as to where it snows and where it doesn’t snow across the region. The question is where will this cutoff occur across the region.

My thinking as of right now is that areas across northern Worcester County into the upper Pioneer Valley will see little or no snow while areas closer to the Springfield and Worcester Metros may end up near one inch of fluffy snow accumulation. Areas south of the Mass Pike may end up with 1 to 2 inches of fluffy snow accumulation. You can see my thinking with the forecast snow amount map attached.

Light snow looks to break out across the region around midnight on Saturday night and then continue through the after midnight hours of Saturday night. Light snow is then expected to continue through sunrise Sunday morning before it comes to an end from northwest to southeast by mid to late morning Sunday. The exception to this will be across areas near and north of Route 2 where things may actually stay snow-free.

I did want to mention that should that low pressure system track even further offshore, it would lead to little or no snow across much of the area, except for south of the Mass Pike where perhaps a dusting of snow could occur. On the other hand, should this low pressure system track further north, it would lead to a couple of inches of snow to occur across areas north of the Mass Pike & 3 to 4 inches of snow accumulation to occur near and south of the Mass Pike. These other scenarios will be watched closely & the forecast may need to be adjusted accordingly.

Low temperatures Saturday night will be between 20 and 25 Degrees. High temperatures Sunday will be between 25 and 30 Degrees. Winds on Saturday night will be West at 10 to 15 mph. Winds on Sunday will be West to Northwest at 10 to 20 mph.

Sunday Night & Monday: Another shot of Arctic air will invade the region during Sunday night and Monday.

Sunday night looks clear, cold and windy with low temperatures between 5 and 10 Degrees.

A sunny, cold and windy day is expected on Monday with high temperatures between 25 and 30 Degrees.

Monday Night & Tuesday: It will still be cold on Monday night and Tuesday, however, it will be less windy.

Monday night looks partly cloudy with low temperatures between 10 and 15 Degrees.

Tuesday looks partly sunny with high temperatures between 30 and 35 Degrees.

Wednesday Through Next Friday: A change towards more average temperatures for this time of year is looking fairly likely for the second half of next week. In fact, it’ll probably feel downright mild as compared to the temperatures that we’ve had over the last couple of weeks or so.

Wednesday looks partly sunny with high temperatures around 40 Degrees.

Thursday looks cloudy and there may be some late day showers around. High temperatures will be between 45 and 50 Degrees.

Next Friday looks partly sunny with high temperatures near 45 Degrees.

Windy & Cold Weather Continues Through This Afternoon & Tonight Across Western & Central Mass; Snow Possible Late Saturday Night Into Sunday (Issued: Early Thursday Afternoon 12/11/2025)

For The Rest Of This Afternoon & Tonight: A windy and cold afternoon is expected across the entire area under partly sunny skies. Temperatures will fall into the low to mid 20s during this afternoon. Winds will be West at 20 to 30 mph with gusts to 40-50 mph. Wind chill temperatures this afternoon will be in the single numbers.

Windy and cold conditions are expected to continue through all of tonight. Skies during tonight will be clear to partly cloudy with low temperatures between 10 and 15 Degrees. Winds will be West at 20 to 30 mph with gusts to 40-50 mph. Wind chill temperatures will be between Zero and 5 below zero.

Friday: Windy conditions are expected to persist through Friday morning before the winds begin to decrease in velocity.

Skies during the day on Friday will be sunny to partly sunny. High temperatures will be near 30 Degrees. Winds will be West at 20 to 25 mph with gusts to 35 mph in the morning and West at 15 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph in the afternoon.

Saturday: A weak high pressure system will control the weather throughout the day on Saturday.

This means that skies will start out partly sunny during the morning. Gradually increasing clouds are then expected during the afternoon.

High temperatures will be between 30 and 35 Degrees. Winds will be Southwest at 10 to 15 mph.

Saturday Night & Sunday: There continues to be considerable amounts of uncertainty as to whether it will snow or not from late Saturday night through the day on Sunday. A fast moving low pressure system is expected to track off of the Mid-Atlantic coast by late Saturday night and then track east-northeastward passing somewhere near or south of New England during Sunday afternoon. The uncertainty to the forecast lies with the exact track of this low pressure system & how close it gets to our area.

On one hand, if this low pressure system passes near the south coast of New England, it would lead to a few inches of snow to occur across the entire area during late Saturday night and Sunday.

On the other hand, if this low pressure system passes well offshore of the south coast of New England, it would mean no snow at all for the entire area on Sunday.

The weather forecast guidance that I look at when making a forecast have been very inconsistent with each other & are showing very different scenarios, depending on which guidance member you look at.

The reason for this is due to a strong piece of energy in the northern part of the jet stream that is expected to dive southeastward across the Great Lakes. The timing and strength of this piece of energy is going to be crucial in determining whether it is able to tug that low pressure system northward. A more subdued outcome would lead to the low pressure system being pushed well offshore of the New England coast. A more amplified outcome would help to pull that low pressure system far enough north to give the entire area accumulating snow late Saturday night and Sunday.

One thing that I wanted to mention is that the weather forecast guidance seems to all be trending towards the more amplified northern piece of energy. Should these trends continue, then all of my snow lovers out there will be very happy on Sunday.

For Now, My Thinking Is That we may see snow overspread the entire area well after midnight on Saturday night. Snow then may continue across the entire area throughout all of Sunday morning before it gradually comes to an end during Sunday afternoon.

I’m still thinking that we may see snow amounts anywhere from a couple of inches to a few inches of snow. Areas across northern Worcester County into the upper Pioneer Valley and the Berkshires may end up seeing closer to the couple of inches of snow. Meanwhile, areas over southern Worcester County into far southeastern parts of Hampden County may end up seeing closer to a few inches of snow accumulation.

Low temperatures on Saturday night will be between 15 and 20 Degrees. High temperatures Sunday will be near 25 Degrees.

Sunday Night & Monday: Another shot of Arctic air will invade the region during Sunday night and Monday.

Windy and cold weather looks likely for both Sunday night and Monday.

Sunday night looks clear, cold and windy with low temperatures between 5 and 10 Degrees.

Monday is expected to be sunny, cold and windy with high temperatures between 20 and 25 Degrees.

Snow Showers Are Expected This Evening Across Western & Central Mass (Issued: Late Tuesday Morning 12/09/2025)

For This Afternoon: A cold afternoon is expected along with gradually increasing amounts of clouds.

Temperatures will be around 25 Degrees. Winds will be Southwest at 10 to 15 mph.

Tonight: A weather disturbance is expected to push through the area during tonight bringing with it some snow shower activity during this evening.

Cloudy skies are expected throughout tonight. In addition, snow showers are expected to cross the area this evening between about 8-9 pm and about midnight-1 am or so. Any snow accumulations will be between a dusting to perhaps up to one inch.

Low temperatures will be between 20 and 25 Degrees. Winds will be Southwest at 10 to 20 mph.

Wednesday & Wednesday Night: An area of low pressure is expected to track from the Great Lakes region on Wednesday morning to across northern New England by Wednesday evening. This low pressure system will pull a frontal system through the area during Wednesday afternoon and Wednesday evening.

Cloudy skies are expected throughout the day on Wednesday. Any precipitation, mainly in the form of rain will overspread the entire area during the early and mid-afternoon hours. The exception to this looks to be over the Berkshires and the northernmost Worcester Hills where wet snow can be expected during the mid and late afternoon hours.

All precipitation looks to come to an end during the evening hours between about 8 pm and 10 pm.

Snow accumulations look to be confined to the northernmost Worcester Hills and across the Berkshires where 1 to perhaps 2 inches of snow is possible.

High temperatures Wednesday will be between 35 and 40 Degrees. Low temperatures Wednesday night will be near 25 Degrees.

Winds on Wednesday will be Southwest at 15 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph. Winds on Wednesday night will be Southwest at 15 to 20 mph before midnight and West at 15 to 25 mph with gusts to 35 mph after midnight.

Thursday: A windy and cold day is expected on Thursday under a mixture of sunshine and clouds.

High temperatures will be between 25 and 30 Degrees. Winds will be West at 20 to 30 mph with gusts to 40 mph.

Thursday Night & Friday: Cold and windy conditions are expected throughout Thursday night and Friday.

Thursday night will be clear, cold and windy with low temperatures between 15 and 20 Degrees.

Friday is expected to be a sunny day with cold and windy conditions. High temperatures will be between 30 and 35 Degrees.

This Weekend: I continue to keep close tabs on this weekend’s weather as signals seem to point towards a bit of snow occurring across the entire area on Sunday.

An area of low pressure is expected to track towards the Mid-Atlantic states from the Tennessee Valley on Saturday. This low pressure system then looks to pass to the south of New England during the day on Sunday.

The track of this storm system could be close enough to bring the entire area at least some snow from late Saturday night through the day on Sunday. At this point, it appears that snow amounts could end up being anywhere from a couple of inches to maybe a few inches.

No matter what happens, I will be watching this storm system closely and will have more updates in the days to come.

Saturday looks partly sunny with high temperatures near 35 Degrees.

Snow may occur from late Saturday night into the day on Sunday with a couple of inches of snow to maybe a few inches of snow accumulation. High temperatures will be near 30 Degrees.
