Late Weekend Ocean Storm Is Expected To Miss Us Here Across Western & Central Mass

For Tonight & Saturday: A weak frontal system is expected to cross the region during late tonight and early Saturday morning. It still looks like the amount of moisture associated with this front will be very limited. That said, there may be just enough lift and forcing to produce some scattered snow showers during the predawn hours of Saturday morning. Any scattered snow showers should move out of the area by about sunrise Saturday morning. Any snow accumulations with any widely scattered snow showers should be limited to a dusting of snow.

Low temperatures tonight will be between 15 and 20 Degrees. Winds tonight will be West at around 10 mph.

Skies during the day on Saturday look to be a mixture of sunshine and clouds. High temperatures will be between 35 and 40 Degrees. Winds will be West at around 10 mph.

Sunday: Skies during the day on Sunday look sunny to partly sunny with high temperatures around 35 Degrees. Winds will be North to Northwest at 5 to 10 mph in the morning and South to Southeast at around 5 mph in the afternoon.

An Ocean Storm System Is Expected To Miss Us On Sunday Night & Monday: It appears quite likely now that an area of low pressure pushing off of the North Carolina coast Sunday night will travel out to sea well south of New England. This means that in all likelihood, no impacts in the way of winter weather will occur with this low pressure system. This is great news for those of you that are sick of the snow.

One thing that we might need to watch is an upper level disturbance that’ll be traveling along the northern branch of the jet stream. At this point, it looks as though this disturbance will cross northern and central New England during Sunday night and Monday morning. It’s possible that this disturbance could produce a bit of light snow very late Sunday night into the first parts of Monday morning. Should we see any light snow with this northern disturbance, it would produce perhaps an inch or two or so of snow.

This means that the forecast looks like this:

Skies will become cloudy during Sunday evening & there’s the possibility for a bit of light snow to occur during the predawn hours of Monday morning. Low temperatures will be near 20 Degrees.

Monday looks cloudy with a bit of light snow during the first half of the morning. High temperatures will be near 40 Degrees.

Tuesday: Tuesday could end up being the warmest day of next week. Skies throughout the day look to be partly sunny. High temperatures will be near 45 Degrees.

Wednesday: The weather pattern looks to turn much more active again starting on Wednesday and continuing through late next week, next weekend & possibly beyond that. Our area is expected to be caught in-between some pretty warm temperatures to our south across the Mid-Atlantic & Southeastern United States & some pretty cold temperatures located over northern New England into southern Canada. This could lead to our area being right in the middle of a battle zone where there could be at least a few winter weather threats from Wednesday through late next week, next weekend and beyond that.

Now turning to Wednesday, an area of low pressure is expected to track across the region. This storm system may really need to be watched for the threat for a messy mixture of precipitation, depending on the low pressure system’s exact track. Should this storm system sneak just south of our area, it would lead to mostly all snow. On the other hand, if this storm system tracks right over our our area or just to our north, then we could be looking at snow to start with that changes to ice and then rain. It’s certainly going to be a storm to watch over the next few days.

Thursday: A generally cloudy day is expected on Thursday with high temperatures between 35 and 40 Degrees. WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP SUPPORT ROUTE 20 WEATHER? HERE'S HOW!

First off, I would like to thank each and every one of you for following me here at Route 20 Weather & all of the support you've provided. Without you, the loyal Route 20 Weather follower, I would not be doing what I love to do - Forecasting the weather for Western & Central Mass.

I am writing this to ask for your help to offset the costs of utilities, groceries, housing & the overall expenses to run Route 20 Weather. In fact, our heating costs have been ridiculous this winter. This is due to the fact that this has been the coldest winter in at least the last 20 years (and perhaps longer).

So, much like you, trying to cover all of our expenses have been extremely tough going.
