A Few Possible Snow Showers Thursday Afternoon Will Be Followed By A Blast Of Arctic Air Across Western & Central Mass For Thursday Night & Friday

For Tonight: Skies tonight will feature varying amounts of cloud cover.

Low temperatures will be between 20 and 25 Degrees. Winds will be West to Southwest at around 10 mph.

Thursday: An Arctic cold front is expected to push across the region during Thursday afternoon. This front will usher in some quite cold air into the area during Thursday night and Friday.

Generally cloudy skies can be expected throughout much of the day. I do think that we will probably see some scattered snow showers accompany the Arctic front during the afternoon.

High temperatures will be between 30 and 35 Degrees. Winds will be West to Southwest at 10 to 20 mph in the morning and West to Northwest at 15 to 25 mph with gusts to 35 mph in the afternoon.

Thursday Night & Friday: The big story for Thursday night and Friday will be the quite cold temperatures as a shot of Arctic air moves over the region.

Clear skies are expected on Thursday night with low temperatures near 5 Degrees. Winds will be West to Northwest at 15 to 25 mph before midnight and West to Northwest at 10 to 15 mph after midnight. Wind chill temperatures on Thursday night will be around Zero before midnight and around 10 below zero after midnight.

Friday looks sunny with high temperatures between 20 and 25 Degrees. Winds will be West to Southwest at 7 to 14 mph.

This Weekend: It appears that a trough of low pressure will cross the region during the day on Saturday. There may be just enough moisture with this trough to produce some periods of light snow that’ll mix with light rain at times. Any snow accumulations Saturday look to amount to a dusting to less than one inch. High temperatures will be near 35 Degrees.

Sunday generally looks to start out sunny, but it appears that there will be a mixture of sunshine and clouds during the afternoon. In addition, some scattered snow showers are possible by Sunday evening as another Arctic cold front pushes through the area. This front will usher in another round of Arctic cold for Monday and Tuesday of next week. High temperatures Sunday will be near 40 Degrees.
