Thunderstorms Possible Late Wednesday Afternoon & Evening Across Western & Central Mass

This Afternoon: A partly sunny afternoon is expected across Western and Central Mass with temperatures between 70 and 75 Degrees expected. Tonight: Clear skies are expected tonight with low temperatures between 45 and 50 Degrees. Tuesday: A warmer day is expected on Tuesday with lots of sunshine expected. High temperatures Tuesday will be between 75 and 80 Degrees. Wednesday: Hot and humid weather is expected on Wednesday as a cold front approaches us from the northwest. That cold front is likely to push through the area during Wednesday evening. Ahead of the cold front, the atmosphere is likely to be unstable and I think that we should see a line of thunderstorms progress from northwest to southeast across the region beginning across the upper Pioneer Valley and northern Worcester County between about 5 and 8 pm and then pushing through the lower Pioneer Valley and southern Worcester County between about 7 and 10 pm Wednesday evening. A couple of the thunderstorms could be on the strong side with gusty winds and small hail possible. High temperatures Wednesday will be between 85 and 90 Degrees. Thursday: A return to sunshine is expected on Thursday with high temperatures near 80 Degrees expected. A First Look At Memorial Day Weekend: Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like the best of Memorial Day weekends in terms of weather. There’s the potential for an area of low pressure to slowly move off of the Mid-Atlantic coast from Friday into Saturday before possibly stalling near the Cape on Sunday and Memorial Day. This means that the weather could be damp and cool with a couple of rounds of showers and even a period of rain. The first period of showers could occur from Friday to Saturday morning with a round of rain possible on Sunday night into Memorial Day. High temperatures Friday will be near 65 Degrees. High temperatures Saturday will be near 65 Degrees. High temperatures Sunday will be between 65 and 70 Degrees. High temperatures Memorial Day will be near 60 Degrees.
