1:45 am Tuesday Morning Weather Update For Western & Central Mass

And here comes the strong cold front, which is now pushing through the Berkshires & will rapidly move across Western and Central Mass over the next 60-90 minutes or so.

So, between now and about 3 am or so, expect heavy rain and some very strong winds. South winds are likely to gust up to 50-65 mph and this will lead to the potential for downed trees and power lines causing power outages across the area.

Conditions will improve by about 4 am with the rain rapidly ending & the winds shifting from a southerly direction to a westerly direction and decreasing to 15 to 25 mph with gusts to 40 mph. Additionally, temperatures will rapidly fall from after 3 am through dawn from the upper 50s to near 60 Degrees into the 40s.
