On & Off Rain Is Expected To Continue Into Monday Across Western & Central Mass

For The Rest Of This Afternoon: The remnants of Tropical Storm Ophelia will continue to affect the region for the next 24 hours or so. This means that we’re going to see a continuation of on and off rain, along with raw and windy conditions. So, on and off rain is expected throughout the rest of this afternoon with temperatures between 55 and 60 Degrees. Winds will be Northeast at 10 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph. Tonight: Periods of rain can be expected this evening, which then looks to translate into a steady rain after midnight tonight. In addition, an isolated thunderstorm is possible after midnight across areas near and south of the Mass Pike. Low temperatures will be between 50 and 55 Degrees. Winds will be Northeast at 10 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph. Monday: During Monday morning, it appears that rain is expected to continue, especially across areas near and south of the Mass Pike where the rain will be moderate to heavy at times. The further north you go across the region, the spottier the rain will be and in fact, areas north of Route 2 may be dry throughout Monday morning. The rain is then expected to become spottier and gradually come to an end from north to south during the afternoon. That said, expect a rainy afternoon, especially across areas near and south of the Mass Pike. High temperatures will be between 60 and 65 Degrees. Winds will be Northeast at 10 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph. Tuesday: A cool, but partly sunny day is expected on Tuesday. High temperatures will be between 60 and 65 Degrees. Winds will be Northeast at 10 to 20 mph. Wednesday Through Friday: A big high pressure system looks to control the weather during the middle and later parts of this coming week. This means that partly sunny skies are expected on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. High temperatures all three days will be between 65 and 70 Degrees.
