After A Quite Mild Afternoon, Colder Temperatures Are Expected Throughout Thanksgiving Weekend Across Western & Central Mass

For This Afternoon & Tonight: Quite mild temperatures are expected throughout this afternoon under a mixture of sunshine and clouds. Temperatures will be between 55 and 60 Degrees. Winds will be Southwest at 6 to 12 mph.

A strong cold front is expected to push through the area by about midnight tonight. Once this cold front moves through, it’ll put a quick end to the mild temperatures and usher in colder temperatures.

Cloudy skies are expected this evening & there may be some scattered showers associated with the front. Skies are then expected to become partly cloudy after midnight. Low temperatures will be between 35 and 40 Degrees. Winds will be Southwest at 10 to 15 mph before midnight and West at 10 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph after midnight.

Thanksgiving Day: A sunny start to the day is expected on Thanksgiving, however, more clouds than sunshine is then expected during the afternoon.

High temperatures will be between 40 and 45 Degrees. Winds will be West to 15 to 20 mph with gusts to 30-35 mph.

Friday: Sunny skies are expected during the morning with cloudy skies expected during the afternoon. In addition, a few scattered snow showers are expected during the afternoon as some lake effect streamers of snow pushing across New York State into Western and Central Mass. It’s possible that some very localized areas might see a dusting of snow. Overall though, any snow showers should be generally light in intensity.

High temperatures will be between 35 and 40 Degrees. Winds will be West at 15 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 to 35 mph.

Saturday & Sunday: Sunny skies are expected throughout the day on Saturday with high temperatures between 35 and 40 Degrees.

Sunday looks to feature increasing clouds throughout the day as a cold front approaches the region. Showers with this front will reach our area on Sunday night and continue into Monday. High temperatures Sunday will be between 40 and 45 Degrees.

First Accumulating Snow Of The Season Possible On Tuesday & Tuesday Night Of Next Week: There are signals in the data that suggest much of the area might see the first accumulating snow of the season on Tuesday of next week.

An area of low pressure is expected to track northeastward from the southeastern United States on Monday and then push near or just offshore of the New England coast during the day on Tuesday. There is quite a bit of uncertainty as to how strong this storm system might be and where it might track in relation to our area. This is all very important in determining whether this will be an all snow event or will there be mixing. Also, the track and strength of the low pressure system will determine how big of a storm this might be.

At this point, I’m going with snow during Tuesday and Tuesday night with the possibility of a couple to perhaps a few inches of snow accumulation.

This will be something that I’ll be watching closely & updates to the forecast will be sent out as needed.

Rain Is Expected Tonight With Scattered Showers Persisting Into Wednesday Across Western & Central Mass

Low temperatures will be between 40 and 45 Degrees. Winds will be South to Southwest at 10 to 15 mph.

Some Scattered Snow & Rain Showers Are Expected Sunday Afternoon Across Western & Central Mass

For Tonight: An area of high pressure will briefly control the weather during tonight.

Skies will be clear throughout tonight with low temperatures near 25 Degrees. Winds will be West to Northwest at 5 to 10 mph.

Sunday: A cold front is expected to drop out of Ontario province and move across the region during the afternoon.

After a sunny start to the day, skies will cloud up by late morning to midday. I then expect to see some scattered snow and rain showers to occur during the afternoon into the early evening hours. I don’t anticipate to see any sort of snow accumulation from any snow showers as they will be more in the way of “mood flakes”.

High temperatures will be around 40 Degrees. Winds will be West to Southwest at 5 to 10 mph.

Thanksgiving Week Forecast: An area of high pressure will control the weather during Monday into part of Tuesday before a cold front moves across the region late Tuesday into Wednesday. That cold front is then expected to push offshore on Thanksgiving Day with colder temperatures moving in for late week into next weekend.
