Another Blast Of Arctic Air Will Affect Western & Central Mass During Monday & Tuesday

For This Afternoon: The snow showers that have occurred this morning have left about one quarter to one half of an inch of snow accumulation over many areas of Western and Central Mass. Not much by any means, but just enough to make it look festive.

Any leftover snow showers will end by early afternoon. Some clearing looks likely by late this afternoon.

Temperatures this afternoon will be around 35 Degrees. Winds will be West to Southwest at 5 to 10 mph.

Tonight: Clear to partly cloudy skies are expected throughout tonight. Low temperatures will be between 20 and 25 Degrees. Winds will be West at 6 to 12 mph.

Sunday: Skies will start out sunny during Sunday morning with cloudy skies expected during Sunday afternoon.

High temperatures will be between 35 and 40 Degrees. Winds will be West at 5 to 10 mph.

Sunday Night: An Arctic cold front is expected to drop southward and move through the area during the overnight hours of Sunday night. This front looks to bring with it some scattered snow showers to the area during the after midnight hours of Sunday night.

Low temperatures will be between 14 and 19 Degrees. Winds will be West at 10 to 15 mph before midnight and West to Northwest at 15 to 20 mph after midnight.

Monday: A shot of some pretty cold temperatures are expected during the day on Monday.

Skies during Monday will be sunny with high temperatures around 25 Degrees. Winds will be Northwest at 15 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph.

Tuesday: Another cold day is expected on Tuesday under mostly cloudy skies.

High temperatures will be near 30 Degrees.

Wednesday Through Friday: It appears that a frontal system may pass through the area during Wednesday afternoon and evening. This front looks to bring some scattered snow and rain showers to the entire area during the afternoon and evening of Wednesday. High temperatures will be near 40 Degrees.

Thursday looks mostly cloudy as that front moves to the east. High temperatures will be between 40 and 45 Degrees.

We might have to watch things closely for Friday as there are signals in the data that suggests a low pressure system may track near or right over Southern New England during the day on Friday. Depending on temperatures and the exact track of this storm, we might be looking at either a rain-snow mix or all snow to fall across the entire area during the day on Friday. We are still 6 days away from this storm possibly occurring and lots can and will change between now and then. Just know that I’m going to be watching Friday’s system closely and will have updates as needed. High temperatures will be between 35 and 40 Degrees.

A Blast Of Arctic Air Is Expected Tonight & Friday With Another Round Of Arctic Air Affecting Western & Central Mass From Monday Through Tuesday

For This Afternoon: An Arctic cold front is expected to cross the region during this afternoon bringing with it the possibility of some isolated snow showers.

Skies during this afternoon will feature varying amounts of cloud cover. In addition, I do think that there may be some isolated snow showers that accompany the front as it moves through this afternoon.

Temperatures during this afternoon will be near 35 Degrees early this afternoon, but will fall quickly into the 20s by mid and late afternoon.

Winds will be West to Northwest at 15 to 25 mph with gusts to 40 mph.

Tonight: Windy conditions are expected during this evening with decreasing winds expected during the after midnight hours. In addition, temperatures will be quite cold with even colder wind chill temperatures.

Skies during tonight will be clear with low temperatures of around 5 Degrees. Winds will be Northwest at 15 to 25 mph with gusts to 35 mph before midnight and Northwest at 6 to 12 mph after midnight.

Friday: An area of high pressure will control the weather throughout the day on Friday.

Lots of sunshine can be expected throughout the day on Friday with high temperatures between 24 and 29 Degrees. Winds will be Southwest at 6 to 12 mph.

This Weekend: A trough of low pressure is expected to move across the area during late Friday night and Saturday morning. It’s possible that there could be just enough moisture with this trough to produce some scattered snow shower activity during late Friday night and Saturday morning. Little or no snow accumulation is expected.

Once that trough moves to the east, skies will remain cloudy during Saturday afternoon. High temperatures will be between 34 and 39 Degrees. Winds will be Southwest at 6 to 12 mph.

Sunday looks partly sunny with high temperatures around 40 Degrees.

Another Arctic cold front is expected to push through the area during Sunday night. This front will be accompanied by some scattered snow showers during the night on Sunday night.

Monday Through Next Thursday: Another shot of some pretty cold temperatures are expected during Monday and Tuesday.

Monday looks sunny with high temperatures near 30 Degrees.

Tuesday looks partly sunny with high temperatures near 30 Degrees.

Turning to Wednesday and Thursday, it appears that some sort of a weak low pressure system will pass through the area bringing with it the possibility of some mixed light snow and rain during Wednesday night and Thursday morning.

A Few Possible Snow Showers Thursday Afternoon Will Be Followed By A Blast Of Arctic Air Across Western & Central Mass For Thursday Night & Friday

For Tonight: Skies tonight will feature varying amounts of cloud cover.

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

Thursday: An Arctic cold front is expected to push across the region during Thursday afternoon. This front will usher in some quite cold air into the area during Thursday night and Friday.

Generally cloudy skies can be expected throughout much of the day. I do think that we will probably see some scattered snow showers accompany the Arctic front during the afternoon.

High temperatures will be between 30 and 35 Degrees. Winds will be West to Southwest at 10 to 20 mph in the morning and West to Northwest at 15 to 25 mph with gusts to 35 mph in the afternoon.

Thursday Night & Friday: The big story for Thursday night and Friday will be the quite cold temperatures as a shot of Arctic air moves over the region.

Clear skies are expected on Thursday night with low temperatures near 5 Degrees. Winds will be West to Northwest at 15 to 25 mph before midnight and West to Northwest at 10 to 15 mph after midnight. Wind chill temperatures on Thursday night will be around Zero before midnight and around 10 below zero after midnight.

Friday looks sunny with high temperatures between 20 and 25 Degrees. Winds will be West to Southwest at 7 to 14 mph.

This Weekend: It appears that a trough of low pressure will cross the region during the day on Saturday. There may be just enough moisture with this trough to produce some periods of light snow that’ll mix with light rain at times. Any snow accumulations Saturday look to amount to a dusting to less than one inch. High temperatures will be near 35 Degrees.

Sunday generally looks to start out sunny, but it appears that there will be a mixture of sunshine and clouds during the afternoon. In addition, some scattered snow showers are possible by Sunday evening as another Arctic cold front pushes through the area. This front will usher in another round of Arctic cold for Monday and Tuesday of next week. High temperatures Sunday will be near 40 Degrees.
