Quiet Weather Is Expected The Rest Of This Week Across Western & Central Mass

For Tonight: Varying amounts of cloud cover can be expected throughout tonight. Low temperatures will be around 20 Degrees. Winds will be West to Northwest at 10 to 20 mph.

Thursday: A mixture of sunshine and clouds can be expected throughout the day on Thursday. High temperatures will be near 35 Degrees. Winds will be Northwest at 10 to 20 mph.

Friday Through Saturday: An area of high pressure will control the weather throughout the day on Friday. This means that sunny skies can be expected on Friday with high temperatures will be near 35 Degrees. Winds will be West to Northwest at around 10 mph.

A weak frontal system looks to cross the region during Friday night and Saturday morning. Even though this frontal system will be moisture starved, there may be just enough moisture associated with it to produce some isolated snow showers during the late night hours of Friday night into Saturday morning. Any accumulations of snow will be a dusting, at most.

Once that frontal system passes during Saturday morning, skies will become partly sunny during Saturday afternoon.

Low temperatures Friday night will be near 20 Degrees. High temperatures Saturday will be around 35 Degrees.

Watching A Storm For Sunday Night & Monday, But At This Point, It Should Miss Our Area: An area of low pressure is expected to track off of the North Carolina coast by Sunday night & then head off of the East Coast of the US by later Sunday night and Monday. Where this low pressure tracks in relation to our area remains somewhat uncertain & because of this, the impacts on our area remain a little uncertain.

That being said, it seems that the consensus in the weather forecast guidance is for the low pressure to pass well south of New England. Should this occur, then no impacts or very little impacts on our area would result.

Even though it seems that most of the weather guidance are showing a out to sea track, remember that this is still 4 to 5 day forecast & shifts in the storm track can certainly occur between now and then.

My thinking right now is that the northern and southern parts of the jet stream probably will not link up. Because of this, the west-southwest to east-northeast flow of the southern part of the jet stream should probably carry this storm well south of our area. This means that we probably will end up with no snow or at most, perhaps some light snow Sunday night into Monday that leaves a light accumulation of snow.

Keep checking back though for later updates to make sure the forecast hasn’t changed.
