For The Rest Of Today: Skies are expected to be cloudy this afternoon and a few showers are possible from time to time. In addition, south to southeast winds will increase and begin to gust up to 30 to 35 mph at times. It should be noted that the strongest winds are still yet to come this evening. Tonight: A sharp squall line consisting of heavy rain, a few thunderstorms and some very gusty winds are expected to push through Western and Central Mass this evening. Latest indications are that the squall line will push across Western Mass between 9 pm and 11 pm this evening and then across Central Mass between 10 pm and midnight or so. This squall line will be accompanied by a 30 to 60 minute period of very heavy rain, a few rumbles of thunder and wind gusts of up to 50 to 60 mph. Downed tree limbs and power outages are possible. I think that we may avoid some big time issues as most of the leaves are now off of the trees. Once that line of heavy rain and gusty winds move to the east, expect clear skies after midnight with low temperatures between 35 and 40 Degrees. I will be keeping a very close eye on the progress of the squall line and will post updates as needed. Monday: A mixture of sunshine and clouds is expected for Monday with high temperatures near 50 Degrees. Thank you for reading my latest forecast for Western and Central Mass.
