Not Very Nice Of A Weekend In Terms Of Weather Is Expected Across Western & Central Mass

For Tonight: A cold front is expected to push southward through the area this evening bringing with it some scattered rain showers between about 8-9 pm and 1-2 am.

Once that front moves through, skies will remain cloudy during the after midnight hours.

Low temperatures will be between 42 and 46 Degrees. Winds will be West at 10 to 20 mph.

Friday: Early morning clouds will give way to partly sunny skies by mid to late morning. Skies are then expected to sunny throughout the afternoon.

High temperatures will be between 60 and 65 Degrees. Winds will be Northwest at 10 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph.

This Weekend: A not too nice weekend is expected across the region as we will likely see at least a couple of rounds of showers.

On Saturday, a warm front is expected to lift through the region. This means skies will be cloudy throughout the day on Saturday. In addition, there will be widespread showers on Saturday, especially during the morning into the early afternoon hours. High temperatures will be near 45 Degrees. Winds will be Southeast at 7 to 15 mph.

Sunday looks like there will be rain throughout the morning and the early afternoon hours. Rain will taper off to some scattered showers by late in the day. High temperatures will be near 55 Degrees.

Another round of widespread showers can be expected during Sunday night as a cold front moves through the area. Low temperatures will be between 35 and 40 Degrees.

Monday Through Wednesday: Widespread showers will come to an end during Monday morning, but skies look to remain cloudy during the rest of Monday. High temperatures will be between 40 and 45 Degrees.

An area of low pressure is expected to move through the region during the day on Tuesday. This weather system ***could*** be a little more interesting as it might actually try to bring parts of the area some snow on Tuesday. At this point, I think most of the moisture will probably stay to our north across Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, but enough moisture should make it into our area for some light snow to occur during Tuesday afternoon. While it doesn’t look like a big deal, it is a weather system that does need to be watched, just in case. High temperatures will be between 35 and 40 Degrees.

Wednesday looks partly sunny with high temperatures near 45 Degrees.

Widespread Showers & A Few Thunderstorms Are Expected Tonight Across Western & Central Mass

It looks like tonight is going to be rather active in the way of widespread showers and a few thunderstorms across the entire area.

The Rest Of This Afternoon will be cloudy with some areas of fog and drizzle. In addition, a few passing showers can also be expected. Temperatures will be around 60 Degrees. Winds will be Southwest at 10 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph.

Turning To Tonight - A pretty robust cold front is expected to slowly move through the region during tonight.

Widespread showers and probably a few thunderstorms will overspread the entire area between 8 pm and 10 pm this evening. These widespread showers and isolated thunderstorms will then continue through a large part of tonight before they come to an end between 4 am and 6 am Tuesday morning.

It should be noted that some very heavy downpours will occur with any of the more intense showers and any of the thunderstorms. Also, severe weather IS NOT expected with the thunderstorms.

Rainfall amounts tonight with the showers and isolated thunderstorms will average between one half of an inch (0.50") and one inch (1.00").

Low temperatures tonight will be between 40 and 45 Degrees. Winds will be Southwest a 10 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph before midnight and West at 10 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph after midnight.

Both Tomorrow & Wednesday look fine in terms of weather. Tomorrow is expected to be partly sunny with high temperatures between 50 and 55 Degrees. Wednesday is expected to be sunny to partly sunny with high temperatures between 45 and 50 Degrees.

Periods Of Light Freezing Rain & Areas Of Freezing Drizzle Likely In The Worcester Hills & The Berkshires Tonight Into Early Sunday Morning

Temperatures as of the time of this writing are in the low to mid 30s across Central Mass and in the upper 30s to low 40s across Western Mass. As expected we are stuck on the cold side of a stationary front that's stretched across far southern parts of Southern New England. The much warmer air on the other side of the front did make it as far northeast as southwestern Connecticut and southeastern New York State where temperatures are in the upper 70s to low 80s at the time of this writing.

Scattered rain showers are expected throughout The Rest Of This Afternoon across the entire area. That said, some areas of freezing rain showers are possible in the Worcester Hills where temperatures are near freezing. Temperatures throughout the rest of this afternoon will remain in the low to mid 30s across Central Mass and will remain in the upper 30s to low 40s across Western Mass.

Tonight's weather forecast is a tricky one and will hinge on which areas drop to near or below freezing and which areas remain above freezing for temperatures. The areas that see temperatures fall to near or below freezing will likely see periods of light freezing rain and areas of freezing drizzle from time to time while areas that see temperatures remain above freezing will remain as rain.

I do think that areas including the entire Pioneer Valley of Western Mass and areas near and south of the Mass Pike will remain above freezing tonight and because of that, I expect some scattered rain showers from time to time throughout tonight.

Elsewhere, areas north of the Mass Pike and particularly areas in the Worcester Hills and the Berkshires will probably see temperatures near or below freezing. Because of this, scattered showers of freezing rain can be expected from time to time tonight leading to slick travel. Be aware of this, if you are out and about in the towns that are located in the Worcester Hills and the Berkshires. This does include I-190, Route 9, Route 122, Route 32, Route 62 and Route 2.

Turning To Sunday Morning - Scattered showers of freezing rain are expected across the Worcester Hills and the Berkshires with scattered rain showers expected elsewhere across the region. This will lead to slick travel in the Worcester Hills and especially the northern Worcester Hills and the Berkshires.

Sunday Afternoon looks cloudy with some areas of drizzle and fog expected. Temperatures across the entire area will rise into the upper 30s to low 40s.

Another round of scattered rain showers are expected throughout Sunday Night. It should be noted that areas near and north of Route 2 may see some areas of freezing rain showers as temperatures may be near freezing. Low temperatures will be between 34 and 39 Degrees.

Monday looks like a much milder day under cloudy skies. A few isolated showers are possible from time to time throughout the day, but it will not be a washout by any means. High temperatures will be between 60 and 65 Degrees.

A cold front is expected to push through the region during Monday evening bringing with it a line of widespread showers and a few possible thunderstorms as it moves through between 8 pm and midnight Monday evening.
