Another Round Of Heavy Rain Is Expected During The After Midnight Hours Of Saturday Night Across Western & Central Mass

For The Rest Of This Afternoon: A high pressure system will provide plenty of sunshine throughout the rest of this afternoon. Temperatures will be between 45 and 50 Degrees. Winds will be Northeast at 5 to 10 mph.

Tonight & Saturday: That high pressure system will remain in control of our weather throughout tonight. This means that skies will be clear to partly cloudy throughout tonight with low temperatures near 30 Degrees. Winds will be East at 5 to 10 mph.

Saturday is expected to be a cloudy day as a low pressure system begins to head northeastward towards our area. High temperatures will be near 45 Degrees. Winds will be Southeast at 10 to 20 mph.

Saturday Night & Sunday: Rain will overspread the entire area between about 8 and 10 pm Saturday evening as that low pressure system moves up the East Coast of the United States.

A period of heavy rain is then expected from about midnight Saturday night through the after midnight hours of Saturday night until about sunrise Sunday morning.

Some periods of light rain then persist through Sunday morning before coming to an end just before midday Sunday.

Skies then remain cloudy throughout Sunday afternoon.

Rainfall amounts Saturday night through Sunday morning will average around one inch across the entire area.

Low temperatures Saturday night will be near 35 Degrees. High temperatures Sunday will be between 45 and 50 Degrees. Winds Saturday night will be East to Southeast at 15 to 25 mph with gusts to 40 mph. Winds Sunday will be West at 15 to 25 mph with gusts to 35-40 mph.

Next Week’s Weather Outlook: Much of next week looks fairly decent in terms of weather.

Tuesday looks sunny to partly sunny with high temperatures between 45 and 50 Degrees.

Wednesday looks partly sunny with high temperatures near 55 Degrees.

Next Friday is expected to be cloudy with perhaps some late day showers. High temperatures will be between 50 and 55 Degrees.

Two Soaking Rainfalls Are Expected Across Western & Central Mass – The First Tonight & The Second Late Saturday Night Through Sunday

For The Rest Of This Afternoon Through Tonight: An area of low pressure now located over the eastern Carolinas is expected to track across Southern New England later tonight. This storm system will combine with a stationary front that’s now positioned across the region to really wring out the water across the region. This means that a soaking rainfall is expected tonight across the entire area.

Rain will overspread the area beginning near and south of the Mass Pike by about 4 pm and then reaching the Route 2 corridor by about 6 pm.

Rain, which will be heavy at times, is expected throughout the night tonight. It appears that the heaviest rain can be expected between about 10-11 pm and about 3-4 am or so.

Rainfall totals tonight are expected to average between 1 and 2 inches across the entire area.

Temperatures the rest of this afternoon will be near 50 Degrees. Low temperatures tonight will be between 40 and 45 Degrees. Winds during the rest of this afternoon will be South at 5 to 10 mph. Winds tonight will be East to Northeast at 10 to 20 mph.

Thursday: Thursday is looking like a raw and miserable day with low clouds, areas of fog and drizzle and on and off shower activity throughout the day.

Temperatures during Thursday will be between 40 and 45 Degrees. Winds will be Northeast at 15 to 25 mph. The combination of temperatures in the low 40s and the gusty northeast winds will make it feel very raw with wind chill temperatures in the 30s.

Friday: Friday still looks like it’ll be a nice day with partly sunny skies and high temperatures between 45 and 50 Degrees. Winds will be North at 10 to 20 mph.

Saturday: Saturday looks to be a dry day, although, it’ll likely feature increasing clouds throughout the day. High temperatures will be near 45 Degrees.

Another Heavy Rainfall Is Expected Late Saturday Night Through Sunday: Our next soaking rainfall looks to affect the area from later Saturday night through the day on Sunday.

Rain will once again overspread the entire area just before midnight Saturday night. The rain will then be heavy at times from after midnight Saturday night right through a large part of the day on Sunday. The rain will come to an end by late Sunday afternoon or early Sunday evening.

Rainfall amounts Saturday night through Sunday will likely average between 1 and 2 inches. This additional rainfall coming so close to tonight’s heavy rainfall is probably going to lead to the potential for street, highway and urban flooding. In addition, small stream, creek and river flooding is certainly a possibility and is something that’ll need to be watched.

Temperatures on Saturday night will be between 35 and 40 Degrees. High temperatures will be between 45 and 50 Degrees.

Interested In Donating & Helping Route 20 Weather?

I have been asked by some of you on how you can "help" or "donate" to alleviate the costs of running Route 20 Weather. As you know, all products on the Route 20 Weather Facebook page, the Route 20 Weather website and the Route 20 Weather app are 100 percent free, but this does come at a cost.

Behind the scenes, I have to pay for website hosting, costs to have the app running and shown on the Apple App Store and the Google App Store. There are also enormous costs for weather data, radar data and other weather products that I look at. Finally, it takes a lot of time for me to analyze the data and come up with and send out the forecasts and updates you see on here.

All donations go directly towards paying the costs of running Route 20 Weather and if you would like to help, you can do so by donating through PayPal or Venmo.

If you'd like to donate using PayPal, the link is https://paypal.me/Route20Weather .
