Very Dry Weather With Increasing Temperatures Throughout This Week Across Western & Central Mass

For The Rest Of This Afternoon: A sunny rest of the afternoon is expected across the region. Temperatures will be between 70 and 75 Degrees. Winds will be East to Northeast at 10 to 20 mph. Tonight: Clear skies are expected for tonight with low temperatures between 40 and 45 Degrees. Winds will be East to Northeast at 7 to 15 mph. Tuesday: An area of high pressure will move a little to the east during the day on Tuesday. This will lead to a southeasterly wind flow to be in place across the region. In addition, smoke from the large wildfires across Nova Scotia, Canada will drift over the area during the day on Tuesday. This will lead to a hazy, milky look to the sky, even though there will be plenty of sunshine around. High temperatures will be between 70 and 75 Degrees. Winds will be East to Southeast at 5 to 10 mph. Wednesday Through Friday: There is no appreciable rainfall in sight across the region as a big high pressure system sits over the region. In addition, some very warm to downright hot temperatures are expected for Thursday and Friday. Wednesday will be sunny with high temperatures near 80 Degrees. Thursday looks sunny to partly sunny with high temperatures between 85 and 90 Degrees. Friday looks sunny to partly sunny with high temperatures near 90 Degrees. Looking Beyond This: Appreciable rainfall is going to be hard to find across the region for at least the next week as we remain under a big high pressure ridge. The exception may be on Friday night and Saturday morning when a frontal system pushes through bringing with it a few showers. Other than that, the first 7 to 10 days or so of June looks very dry with daytime high temperatures in the 75 to 80 Degree range and nighttime low temperatures in the 50 to 55 Degree range.
