Quite A Bit In The Way Of Showers Are Expected From Tonight Through Monday; Tuesday Still Looks COLD Across Western & Central Mass

For This Afternoon: An area of low pressure is expected to track across western Pennsylvania and western New York State this afternoon.

Some sunshine early this afternoon will quickly give way to cloudy skies as the afternoon progresses. Scattered showers are expected to overspread the entire area by about 4-5 pm this afternoon.

Temperatures will be between 50 and 55 Degrees. Winds will be Southeast at 5 to 10 mph.

Tonight: That low pressure system is expected to begin moving to the east from western New York State tonight reaching the New York-Mass border by early Monday morning.

Scattered showers are expected from time to time during tonight. It appears that most of the shower activity should occur during this evening. Additionally, areas of drizzle and fog can be expected throughout tonight.

Low temperatures will be near 45 Degrees. Winds will be East to Southeast at 5 to 10 mph for most of the night. The winds will become Westerly at 5 to 10 mph very late tonight.

Monday: An area of low pressure and its associated cold front is expected to push across Southern New England during the day on Monday. It appears that the front will move through Western Mass between 8 and 10 am and through Central Mass between 11 am and 1 pm. Falling temperatures can be expected once the front moves through your location.

Scattered to even widespread showers can be expected throughout Monday morning. As we move through Monday afternoon, the shower coverage will become much more scattered in nature.

The high temperatures on Monday of 55 to 60 Degrees look to occur during the morning. Temperatures are then expected to fall into the 40s during the afternoon.

Winds will be West a 5 to 10 mph.

Monday Night: Mostly cloudy skies are expected throughout Monday night. I do think that the air mass should dry up enough to prevent any snow showers from occurring on the backside of that front.

Low temperatures will be near 25 Degrees. Winds will be West at 10 to 20 mph.

Tuesday Will Be A COLD Day: A cold and windy day is expected on Tuesday. In fact, temperatures on Tuesday will feel very much like its January outside with readings of at least 10 degrees to even 15 degrees below average.

A mixture of sunshine can be expected throughout the day on Tuesday. There is the possibility of some scattered snow flurries from late morning through the afternoon hours due to a very cold air mass aloft.

High temperatures will be between 34 and 38 Degrees. Winds will be West at 15 to 20 mph with gusts to 30-35 mph. Wind chill temperatures on Tuesday will be in the middle 20s.

Tuesday Night: Generally mostly cloudy skies are expected during Tuesday night. There is the possibility that a weather disturbance could move across northern New England during the late night hours. This disturbance could be close enough to bring some scattered snow showers to the area during the pre-dawn hours of Wednesday morning.

Low temperatures will be between 20 and 25 Degrees.

Wednesday: It is anticipated that a weather disturbance will continue to move across northern New England during Wednesday morning.

It is possible that a couple of scattered snow showers could occur across the region during Wednesday morning. This should be followed by a mixture of sunshine and clouds during the afternoon.

High temperatures will be near 45 Degrees.

Thursday & Friday: Colder than average temperatures are expected to persist across the area through the end of this coming week.

Thursday and Friday both look partly sunny. High temperatures both days will be near 45 Degrees.

Next Weekend: Cold weather for this time of year is expected to persist through all of next weekend as we remain underneath an upper level trough of low pressure.

Saturday looks sunny to partly sunny with high temperatures near 40 Degrees.

Next Sunday is expected to be sunny with high temperatures between 40 and 45 Degrees.
