Dry Conditions Can Be Expected Across Western & Central Mass For The Next Several Days With Cooler Temperatures Expected Beginning On Wednesday

For Tonight: A weak area of low pressure is expected to track well south of New England during tonight. It appears that a majority, if not all of the showers with this low pressure system will remain to the south of our area.

This means that generally cloudy skies can be expected throughout tonight & we should be dry all night long with any showers staying to the south of the area. The only area that might see a passing shower or two after midnight tonight may be far southeastern parts of Worcester County.

Low temperatures will be between 55 and 60 Degrees. Winds will be Southwest at 5 to 10 mph.

Sunday: Any early morning clouds will give way to sunshine by late morning. Sunny skies are then expected throughout the afternoon.

High temperatures will be near 80 Degrees. Winds will be West at 10 to 15 mph.

Next Week’s Weather Outlook: It looks like it is going to be warm and dry for both Monday and Tuesday. Some much cooler temperatures, but with dry conditions are then expected for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Monday is expected to be sunny with high temperatures around 80 Degrees. Winds will be North to Northwest at 5 to 10 mph in the morning and West to Southwest at 5 to 10 mph.

Tuesday looks sunny with high temperatures between 75 and 80 Degrees.

Wednesday looks sunny and much cooler with high temperatures between 60 and 65 Degrees.

Thursday looks sunny with high temperatures around 60 Degrees.

Friday looks sunny with high temperatures near 65 Degrees.

A Quick Word About Hurricane Humberto & Tropical Depression #9 (Future Imelda): Hurricane Humberto is a Category 4 hurricane, which is expected to track to the west of Bermuda early next week. From there, Humberto will turn out to sea & not be a concern at all for our weather here in Western and Central Mass.

Turning to Tropical Depression 9 (Future Imelda) – The depression is now moving into the Southeastern Bahamas and is expected to approach the South Carolina coast by Tuesday. From there, it looks increasingly more likely that Hurricane Humberto will be close enough in distance to pull what will be Imelda by then to the east & away from the Southeastern coast of the United States by the middle part of next week.

Beyond this, it is very, very uncertain as to whether future Imelda will be pulled out to sea late next week or whether Humberto will leave Imelda behind to just move erratically offshore of the East Coast of the US next weekend. If Imelda is left behind, then we might need to start taking a closer look at it as the weather pattern may shift in a way so that at least the remnants of it are drawn northward into Southern New England late next week or during the early part of the week of October 6. But that’s a long ways off & at this point, I wouldn’t be concerned about it.
