Dry Weather Is Expected Through This Weekend Across Western & Central Mass (Posted Late Thursday Morning 4/9/2026)

For This Afternoon & Tonight: Lots of sunshine can be expected throughout this afternoon. Temperatures will be in the middle and upper 50s. Winds will be South to Southwest at 10 to 20 mph. It should be noted that the combination of low humidity levels, a 10-20 mph wind and dry ground conditions will lead to an elevated risk for brush fires across the entire area throughout this afternoon.

Clear to partly cloudy skies are expected throughout tonight. Low temperatures will be between 30 and 35 Degrees. Winds will be Southwest at 10 to 20 mph.

Friday & Friday Night: Partly sunny skies are expected throughout the day on Friday. High temperatures will be near 65 Degrees. Winds will be Southwest at 10 to 20 mph.

A cold front is expected to cross the region during Friday night. This means that skies will be cloudy throughout Friday night and there may be a couple of isolated showers around, especially around midnight. Low temperatures will be around 40 Degrees. Winds will be Southwest at 10 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph before midnight and West to Northwest at 15 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph after midnight.

This Weekend: A dry and nice weekend in terms of weather is expected across the entire area.

Saturday is expected to be sunny with high temperatures between 55 and 60 Degrees. Winds will be Northwest at 15 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph. Also, there may be an elevated risk for brush fires on Saturday due to the combination of low humidity values, gusty winds and dry ground conditions.

Sunday is expected to be partly sunny with high temperatures between 55 and 60 Degrees.

Next Week: A warm front is expected to lift across the region during Monday morning bringing with it some scattered showers. By Monday afternoon, there should be some partial clearing. High temperatures Monday will be around 70 Degrees.

Those of you who have been begging me for summer weather will probably be very happy on Tuesday as 75 to 80 Degree high temperatures look likely under partly sunny skies.

Wednesday is expected to be cloudy and there may be some scattered showers around. High temperatures will be between 65 and 70 Degrees.

Next Thursday looks partly sunny with high temperatures around 70 Degrees.

A Line Of Locally Heavy Rain & Snow Showers Will Affect Western Mass Between Now & 1 pm & Then Affect Central Mass Between 1 pm & 3 pm This Afternoon (Issued at 11 am Tuesday 4/7/2026)

A line of locally heavy rain showers and snow showers are currently pushing their way from far eastern New York state into extreme Western Mass.

It is expected that this line of locally heavy rain and snow showers will push their way across the Berkshires over the next hour and should reach the Pioneer Valley by about 12-12:30 pm.

It is then expected that this line of locally heavy rain and snow showers will exit the Pioneer Valley and move into the western Worcester Hills and far western Worcester County by about 1-1:30 pm.

This line of locally heavy rain and snow showers will then push their way across the rest of Worcester County between 1:30 pm and 2:30 pm.

While I think most of the precipitation will probably be rain, any areas that do see locally heavy snow or sleet showers may receive a quick dusting of snow or sleet. Areas that may see heavy snow or sleet showers include the Berkshires & the Worcester Hills.

All shower activity should move out of the area by about 3-3:30 pm or so.

Snow Showers Are Expected From Late Tonight Through Tuesday Morning Across Western & Central Mass (Issued Late Monday Morning 4/6/2026)

For This Afternoon: A mixture of some sunshine and lots of clouds are expected throughout this afternoon. Temperatures will be in the low to mid 40s. Winds will be West at 15 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 to 35 mph.

Tonight & Tuesday: A weather disturbance is expected to move through the area during Tuesday morning.

Partly cloudy skies are expected throughout this evening before skies become cloudy during the after midnight hours of tonight.

Snow showers are expected to begin to affect the entire area during the predawn hours of Tuesday morning. Snow showers are then expected to continue to affect the entire area throughout Tuesday morning. Any snow accumulation from the snow showers may amount to anywhere from a dusting to perhaps up to one inch of snow accumulation during Tuesday morning.

Turning to Tuesday afternoon, it appears that a secondary weather disturbance will pass through the area. This will lead to the possibility of some scattered rain and snow showers to affect the area throughout Tuesday afternoon. Little or no snow accumulation is expected during Tuesday afternoon as temperatures will be well above freezing by then.

Low temperatures tonight will be near 30 Degrees. Winds tonight will be West to Northwest at 5 to 10 mph.

High temperatures on Tuesday will be between 40 and 45 Degrees. Winds on Tuesday will be East to Southeast at 5 to 10 mph in the morning and West to Northwest at 8 to 16 mph in the afternoon.
