A Squall Line Of Heavy Rain, Thunderstorms & Wind Gusts To 50 mph Expected This Evening

For The Rest Of Today: Skies are expected to be cloudy this afternoon and a few showers are possible from time to time. In addition, south to southeast winds will increase and begin to gust up to 30 to 35 mph at times. It should be noted that the strongest winds are still yet to come this evening. Tonight: A sharp squall line consisting of heavy rain, a few thunderstorms and some very gusty winds are expected to push through Western and Central Mass this evening. Latest indications are that the squall line will push across Western Mass between 9 pm and 11 pm this evening and then across Central Mass between 10 pm and midnight or so. This squall line will be accompanied by a 30 to 60 minute period of very heavy rain, a few rumbles of thunder and wind gusts of up to 50 to 60 mph. Downed tree limbs and power outages are possible. I think that we may avoid some big time issues as most of the leaves are now off of the trees. Once that line of heavy rain and gusty winds move to the east, expect clear skies after midnight with low temperatures between 35 and 40 Degrees. I will be keeping a very close eye on the progress of the squall line and will post updates as needed. Monday: A mixture of sunshine and clouds is expected for Monday with high temperatures near 50 Degrees. Thank you for reading my latest forecast for Western and Central Mass.

A Squall Line Of Heavy Rain & Very Gusty Winds To Push Through Western & Central Mass On Sun Evening

For The Rest Of Today: Generally the sky will be partly sunny throughout the remainder of today. In addition, there will be northwest winds that will gust up to 20 to 30 mph at times. High temperatures this afternoon will be in the upper 40s to low 50s. Tonight: An area of high pressure will be centered right over Southern New England tonight. This means that the sky will be clear and winds will become light. Low temperatures tonight will be between 20 and 25 Degrees. Sunday & Sunday Night: Most of the day Sunday is expected to be dry with early morning sunshine giving way to increasing and thickening clouds. High temperatures Sunday will be near 50 Degrees. The weather is expected to become quite active as we get into Sunday evening as a sharp line of heavy rain and very gusty winds pushes across Western Mass between 8 pm and 10 pm and then across Central Mass between about 10 pm and midnight. It looks likely that this line of convection will be accompanied by a 30 to 60 minute period of very heavy rain, a couple of rumbles of thunder and wind gusts of up to 50 mph. Once that line of heavy rain and gusty winds move to the east, expect clear skies after midnight with low temperatures between 35 and 40 Degrees.

Rain Will Change To Snow Late Tonight With Snow Continuing On Friday Morning

It still looks like we will see the first snowfall of the season across much of Western and Central Mass from late tonight through Friday morning. So, let’s take a look at what’s going to happen: Rain is expected to continue This Afternoon across all of Western and Central Mass with temperatures in the upper 40s to low 50s. Tonight: The remnants of Tropical Storm Zeta will track to the south of New England this evening before another low pressure begins to approach our area late tonight. This means that rain will continue this evening across all of Western and Central Mass. As we get into later tonight, rain will gradually change to snow as colder air begins to move in on the backside of Zeta and the winds shift into a northerly direction. The changeover from rain to snow is expected to occur first in the Berkshires and the northern Worcester Hills around midnight or so. The completion of the changeover from rain to snow is expected across all of Western and Central Mass by about sunrise Friday morning. So, it’s fairly likely that it will be snowing everywhere across Western and Central Mass when the sun comes up tomorrow morning. Friday: That second low pressure system will head across southern New England during Friday morning. The moisture and energy from this low pressure system combined with colder air moving in at the same time will lead to a burst of snow throughout Friday morning across all of Western and Central Mass. At the same time this is occurring, temperatures are likely to fall into the low 30s for a while tomorrow morning and while most of the snow accumulation will occur on non-paved surfaces, some roads could become snow-covered and slippery for a while, especially in the higher elevations. The snow is expected to come to an end between about 12 pm and 2 pm Friday afternoon with some rise in the temperatures expected during the afternoon with high temperatures of between 35 and 40 Degrees. My latest forecast snow accumulations can be found with the map attached.
