Two Nights Of Frost & Freeze Conditions Are Expected Across Western & Central Mass

We have two nights ahead of us that will definitely see not only a frost, but very likely a widespread hard freeze. Cover and protect all of those susceptible plants and be sure to protect those fruit trees as they will likely be damaged if not protected. Tonight: Clear skies are expected tonight with low temperatures between 25 and 30 Degrees. Again, a frost and a hard freeze is expected across the entire area.

Thursday: Lots of sunshine can be expected on Thursday with high temperatures between 50 and 55 Degrees.

Thursday Night: Another clear night with widespread frost and a hard freeze is expected on Thursday night. Low temperatures will be between 28 and 33 Degrees.

Friday looks to be a sunny day with high temperatures between 55 and 60 Degrees.

Friday night looks clear with scattered areas of frost. Low temperatures will be near 35 Degrees except near 30 Degrees in normally colder locations.

Saturday looks to be a sunny day with high temperatures between 60 and 65 Degrees.

Next chance for some scattered showers looks to be on Sunday.

Looking even further ahead, I wouldn't plant anything quite yet as there's the possibility of another round of freezing temperatures during the first week of May. My recommendation would be to wait a couple of weeks, if you can.

Additionally, very long range data seems to point towards drier than average conditions through all of May along with near average temperatures. Good news as it'll give the ground a breather and a chance to dry out.

Showers & Maybe A Thunderstorm Wednesday Will Be Followed By Widespread Frost & Freeze Conditions Wednesday Night & Lots Of Sunshine Thursday Through Saturday Across Western & Central Mass

Tonight: Skies will start out clear this evening but will quickly become cloudy after midnight as a frontal system approaches the area. Low temperatures tonight will be between 35 and 40 Degrees.

Wednesday: Widespread showers are expected across the entire area during Wednesday morning as that front moves through. This first round of showers will be done by midday Wednesday.

Turning to Wednesday afternoon, some instability may occur as colder air aloft works into the area. This could lead to some scattered showers and maybe a thunderstorm or two to occur during the mid and late afternoon hours. These showers will be done by about 6 pm Wednesday.

High temperatures Wednesday will be between 52 and 57 Degrees.

Wednesday Night: Widespread frost and freezes are likely for Wednesday night as some pretty chilly air moves into the area. Clear skies are expected throughout Wednesday night with low temperatures between 25 and 30 Degrees.

Thursday looks to be a sunny day with high temperatures between 50 and 55 Degrees.

Lots of sunshine looks likely for both Friday and Saturday with high temperatures both days near 60 Degrees.

On and off showers look likely for Sunday with high temperatures near 60 Degrees.

Scattered Showers Late This Afternoon Will Be Followed By A Mixture Of Sunshine & Clouds Sunday & Lots Of Sunshine Monday & Tuesday Across Western & Central Mass

For This Afternoon: Things will dry out for a few hours this afternoon before a second round of scattered showers pushes through the area during late this afternoon.

Skies this afternoon will feature a mixture of sunshine and clouds and there will be scattered showers between about 3-4 pm and about 7-8 pm. A couple of these showers could be on the heavier side and produce very small hail and heavy downpours.

Temperatures this afternoon will be between 55 and 60 Degrees. Winds will be West at 10 to 20 mph.

Tonight: Drier air will push into the area during tonight leading to clear to partly cloudy skies to occur. Low temperatures will be between 30 and 35 Degrees and this means that areas of frost is quite likely. Winds will be West to Northwest at 10 to 20 mph.

Sunday: An area of high pressure will build into the area during Sunday.

This means that a mixture of sunshine and clouds can be expected throughout Sunday with high temperatures near 55 Degrees. Winds will be West at 10 to 20 mph.

Monday Through Tuesday: Dry weather is expected from Monday right through Tuesday and this likely will lead to a high to very high brush fire danger due to low relative humidity levels and gusty winds.

Monday looks sunny with high temperatures will be near 55 Degrees. Winds will be West to Northwest at 10 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph.

Monday night is expected to be clear with low temperatures between 35 and 40 Degrees.

Tuesday is expected to be sunny with high temperatures between 60 and 65 Degrees. Winds will become Southerly at 10 to 20 mph.

Wednesday Through Thursday: A cold front is expected to move through the area during Wednesday. This means that cloudy skies with widespread showers can be expected throughout the day. High temperatures will be near 50 Degrees.

A windy day with a mixture of some sunshine and lots of clouds can be expected on Thursday. In addition, a few isolated showers are a possibility, especially during the afternoon. High temperatures will be near 45 Degrees.

Friday Through Next Weekend: Dry weather looks likely for Friday and next Saturday with partly sunny skies expected on Friday and sunny skies anticipated next Saturday. High temperatures Friday will be between 50 and 55 Degrees. High temperatures next Saturday will be near 60 Degrees.

The weather becomes more uncertain for next Sunday as a frontal system edges towards our area. For now, I think the front will remain to the west and not be an issue until late next Monday into next Tuesday. This means that partly sunny skies looks possible for next Sunday with high temperatures near 65 Degrees.
