A Line Of Locally Heavy Rain & Snow Showers Will Affect Western Mass Between Now & 1 pm & Then Affect Central Mass Between 1 pm & 3 pm This Afternoon (Issued at 11 am Tuesday 4/7/2026)

A line of locally heavy rain showers and snow showers are currently pushing their way from far eastern New York state into extreme Western Mass.

It is expected that this line of locally heavy rain and snow showers will push their way across the Berkshires over the next hour and should reach the Pioneer Valley by about 12-12:30 pm.

It is then expected that this line of locally heavy rain and snow showers will exit the Pioneer Valley and move into the western Worcester Hills and far western Worcester County by about 1-1:30 pm.

This line of locally heavy rain and snow showers will then push their way across the rest of Worcester County between 1:30 pm and 2:30 pm.

While I think most of the precipitation will probably be rain, any areas that do see locally heavy snow or sleet showers may receive a quick dusting of snow or sleet. Areas that may see heavy snow or sleet showers include the Berkshires & the Worcester Hills.

All shower activity should move out of the area by about 3-3:30 pm or so.
