An area of low pressure is currently located near the Mid-Atlantic coastline. This low pressure system is causing a chilly and wet easterly wind flow to be in place across our area.
It is expected that this easterly wind flow will remain in place across Western and Central Mass throughout this afternoon and tonight before it relents as that low pressure system begins to head away on Tuesday.
Widespread showers can be expected throughout This Afternoon & it will continue to be windy. Temperatures will hover around 50 Degrees. Winds will be Northeast at 15 to 20 mph with gusts to 35 mph.
Turning to Tonight - I expect to see a continuation of the widespread shower activity this evening with the coverage of the showers becoming more scattered after midnight tonight. Low temperatures tonight will be near 45 Degrees. Winds will be Northeast at 15 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph.
Tuesday looks cloudy and there will be scattered showers during the morning. The shower activity looks to then come to an end during the afternoon. High temperatures will be between 50 and 55 Degrees. Winds will be North at 10 to 15 mph.
Once that low pressure system moves away, an area of high pressure looks to build into the area starting on Wednesday. This means that we should see a stretch of nice weather beginning on Wednesday and lasting right into at least part of next weekend.
Wednesday looks sunny with high temperatures near 60 Degrees.
Thursday is expected to be sunny with high temperatures near 55 Degrees.
Friday looks sunny with high temperatures near 55 Degrees.
Saturday looks sunny with high temperatures between 55 and 60 Degrees.
Sunday looks to start partly sunny, however, skies are expected to become cloudy during the afternoon as a frontal system approaches the area. This front may bring some isolated late day showers to the area. That said, the higher chances for showers may wait until Sunday night into next Monday. High temperatures Sunday will be between 60 and 65 Degrees.
