Very Nice Weather Will Continue Through This Weekend Across Western & Central Mass

For This Afternoon & Tonight: An area of high pressure will control our weather throughout all of this afternoon and tonight. At the same time this is occurring, a warm front is expected to cross far southern Quebec province and far northern New England during this afternoon. That front will not directly impact our weather, except to produce some high cloudiness across the region.

This all means that skies will be partly sunny throughout this afternoon. Temperatures will be around 55 Degrees. Winds will be Southwest at 5 to 10 mph.

Partly cloudy skies are expected during tonight. Low temperatures will be near 40 Degrees. Winds will be Southwest at around 10 mph.

Thursday Through Friday: An area of high pressure is generally expected to control the weather throughout Thursday and Friday. Now, it appears that a very weak frontal boundary will push through the area during the overnight hours of Thursday night. It is possible that this front could bring with it a very isolated shower or two during Thursday night, particularly between midnight Thursday night and the predawn hours of Friday morning.

Thursday will be sunny to at times partly sunny. High temperatures will be around 65 Degrees. Winds will be Southwest at 10 to 20 mph.

Thursday night looks cloudy. In addition, there may be a very isolated shower or two between midnight Thursday night and the predawn hours of Friday morning. Low temperatures will be between 45 and 50 Degrees. Winds will be Southwest at 10 to 20 mph.

Friday is expected to be sunny to partly sunny with high temperatures near 70 Degrees.

This Weekend: Halloween weekend continues to look very nice across Western and Central Mass. No weather problems are expected for Trick or Treaters.

Halloween is expected to be sunny with high temperatures between 50 and 55 Degrees.

Trick or Treaters will want to dress warm when going out on Halloween Night. Skies are expected to be clear with temperatures falling through the 40s and into the upper 30s during the evening. Low temperatures by late Halloween night will be between 30 and 35 Degrees.

Sunday is expected to be sunny with high temperatures near 60 Degrees.

Next Week’s Weather Outlook: Our long stretch of nice weather is expected to come to an end next week as a couple of weather systems will bring some unsettled weather to the region at times.

Monday looks partly sunny with high temperatures near 60 Degrees.

A weak frontal system looks to cross the region during Tuesday. This means that cloudy skies are expected on Tuesday & there may be a few isolated showers around. High temperatures will be near 55 Degrees.

Sunshine returns to the area for Wednesday with high temperatures between 50 and 55 Degrees.

It appears possible that the weather will turn stormy for late next week as a rather robust frontal system will cross the region. The exact timing of when this front will move through is uncertain. Some weather guidance shows the front moving through during the day on Friday while other guidance points to a Friday night frontal crossing. At this point, I’m going to split the difference & go with a Friday afternoon frontal crossing.

Thursday looks partly sunny with high temperatures between 60 and 65 Degrees.

Next Friday looks cloudy & it’s possible that we’ll see widespread showers during the afternoon and evening hours. High temperatures will be around 60 Degrees.
