A Hard Freeze Is Expected Tonight Across Western & Central Mass

For Tonight: A cold air mass for this time of year is expected to be in place over the area tonight. This will lead to a widespread freeze across the entire area and because of this, I urge you to either bring in any plants or cover up any plants in preparation for tonight’s freeze. Skies tonight will be clear with low temperatures between 25 and 30 Degrees. Winds will be North at 10 to 20 mph before midnight and Northwest at 5 mph or less after midnight. Thursday: An area of high pressure will be in place over the region during Thursday. This means that skies on Thursday will be sunny with high temperatures near 65 Degrees. Winds will be West at 5 to 10 mph. Thursday Night: That high pressure system will push to the east during Thursday night. Skies on Thursday night will be clear with low temperatures between 35 and 40 Degrees. Winds will be Southwest at 5 to 10 mph. Friday: A mixture of sunshine and clouds can be expected with high temperatures near 70 Degrees. Winds will be South at 10 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph. Saturday: The combination of an eastward moving frontal system and a low pressure system moving northward from the North Carolina coastline will lead to a widespread rainfall across the entire area during Saturday and Saturday night. The big question is when exactly will it rain on Saturday and Saturday night. At this point, I think that there will be two rounds of rain. The first looks to occur during the morning with a break in the rain possible during the afternoon. A second round of rain looks to occur from Saturday evening that continues through Saturday night. Rainfall totals with the Saturday and Saturday night rainfall looks to range from one half of an inch (0.50”) to one inch (1.00”). High temperatures Saturday will be near 65 Degrees. Low temperatures Saturday night will be near 55 Degrees. Sunday: That low pressure system and the associated frontal system will push to the east during Sunday. Some leftover showers are possible early in the morning with increasing sunshine anticipated by afternoon. High temperatures will be near 75 Degrees. Monday Through Wednesday: Another round of dry weather looks likely for the first half of next week. Monday will be partly sunny with high temperatures between 65 and 70 Degrees. Tuesday will be sunny with high temperatures between 65 and 70 Degrees. Wednesday will be sunny to partly sunny with high temperatures near 75 Degrees.

Nice Weather Is Expected For The Foreseeable Future Across Western & Central Mass

Sunday: A cooler day is expected on Sunday under lots of sunshine. High temperatures will be near 65 Degrees. Winds will be Northwest at 10 to 20 mph. Next Week’s Weather: Dry conditions are expected throughout next week. Monday looks sunny with high temperatures between 70 and 75 Degrees. Tuesday is expected to feature quite a bit in the way of clouds as a “dry” cold front moves through. This means that no rainfall is anticipated with this front. High temperatures will be near 75 Degrees. Wednesday is expected to be sunny to partly sunny and cooler. High temperatures will be between 60 and 65 Degrees. Thursday looks sunny with high temperatures between 65 and 70 Degrees. Friday looks partly sunny with high temperatures between 70 and 75 Degrees.

A Much Drier Week Is Expected Across Western & Central Mass

For This Afternoon: An area of high pressure will control the weather this afternoon with lots of sunshine expected. Temperatures will be near 75 Degrees. Winds will be West at 10 to 20 mph. Tonight: An area of low pressure is expected to cross the region later tonight bringing with it a round of rainfall. Skies will become cloudy this evening with widespread showers overspreading the entire area between 10 pm and midnight. Widespread showers are then expected to continue through the after midnight hours of tonight before coming to an end by dawn Monday morning. Total rainfall amounts tonight will average around one quarter of an inch or so. Low temperatures will be between 50 and 55 Degrees. Winds will be West at 5 to 10 mph. Monday: Any early morning clouds will give way to increasing amounts of sunshine by mid to late morning. Lots of sunshine is then expected during the afternoon hours. High temperatures will be between 70 and 75 Degrees. Winds will be Northwest at 10 to 20 mph. Tuesday: An area of low pressure is expected to track to the south of New England during Tuesday. This low pressure system should pass far enough south of the area to prevent any rain from affecting the area. Instead, we should see a mixture of sunshine and clouds during the day on Tuesday with high temperatures near 65 Degrees. Winds will be North at 5 to 10 mph. Wednesday Through Friday: A stretch of dry weather is expected for the middle and later parts of this coming week as a big high pressure system settles over the area. Wednesday is expected to be sunny to partly sunny with high temperatures between 65 and 70 Degrees. Thursday looks sunny with high temperatures near 75 Degrees. Friday is expected to be partly sunny with high temperatures between 75 and 80 Degrees. Outlook For Next Weekend: Current indications point to that dry weather should persist through next weekend. Saturday looks partly sunny with high temperatures between 75 and 80 Degrees. Next Sunday looks partly sunny with high temperatures between 70 and 75 Degrees.
