Lots Of Sunshine Continues The Rest Of This Afternoon

For The Rest Of This Afternoon: Plenty of sunshine is expected throughout the rest of this afternoon with temperatures near 65 Degrees. Winds the rest of this afternoon will be west at 12 to 22 mph. Tonight: Clear to partly cloudy skies this evening will give way to an increase in clouds after midnight as a frontal boundary approaches from the northwest. Low temperatures tonight will be between 45 and 50 Degrees. Winds tonight will be southwest at 12 to 22 mph. Saturday & Saturday Night: A frontal boundary will slowly sink southward into our area during Saturday afternoon and Saturday night. Skies throughout the day on Saturday will be cloudy and there is expected to be scattered shower activity from time to time. Much more widespread showers with maybe a thunderstorm or two will overspread the entire area by late afternoon. High temperatures Saturday will be between 60 and 65 Degrees. Winds on Saturday will be southwest at 10 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph. Widespread showers with isolated thunderstorms are expected throughout Saturday evening with showers ending around midnight. Skies are expected to remain cloudy after midnight Saturday night. Low temperatures Saturday night will be near 35 Degrees. Winds on Saturday night will be west at 7 to 15 mph before midnight and northwest at 8 to 16 mph after midnight. Easter Sunday: A chilly day is expected on Sunday with a mixture of sunshine and clouds expected. In addition, some spotty afternoon showers are expected. Across valley locations, the precipitation type of these showers will be in the form of rain. Across the Berkshires, the Worcester Hills and the Hilltowns of Western Mass, spotty snow showers are possible during Sunday afternoon. High temperatures Sunday will be between 45 and 50 Degrees. Winds on Sunday will be northwest at 10 to 20 mph. Monday: An area of high pressure will control the weather during Monday giving the area a partly sunny day with high temperatures between 55 and 60 Degrees. Monday Night & Tuesday: The weather may get quite “interesting” for later Monday night into Tuesday morning as an area of low pressure is expected to form near the Virginia coast Monday evening and track northeastward into Southern New England during Tuesday morning. The reason why it may be interesting is because there could be enough cold air around so that snow could occur for several hours between about midnight Monday night and sunrise Tuesday morning in the Berkshires, the Hilltowns of Western Mass and across much of the Worcester Hills. The snow should turn to rain across these areas during Tuesday morning. The most likely areas that could see some snow accumulation on the order of 1 to 3 inches or so look to be across the Berkshires, the western Hilltowns of Western Mass and across the northern Worcester Hills. Elsewhere across the area, rain is expected beginning around midnight Monday night and then continuing through Tuesday morning. Rain will taper off to showers everywhere during Tuesday afternoon. Low temperatures Monday night will be near 35 Degrees. High temperatures Tuesday will be near 50 Degrees.
