Rain Is Expected To Continue This Afternoon Into Tonight Across Western & Central Mass

It is going to be a wet afternoon across all of Western and Central Mass as a low pressure system tracks to the south of New England.

This Afternoon: Rain is expected to continue throughout all of this afternoon & the rain will be heavy at times. In addition, a rumble or two of thunder cannot be ruled out. Temperatures this afternoon will be in the upper 50s to near 60 Degrees. Winds will be East at 7 to 14 mph.

Tonight: Widespread showers are expected during this evening with the showers becoming much more isolated by after midnight tonight. Low temperatures will be between 40 and 45 Degrees. Winds will be North to Northeast at around 10 mph.

Rainfall totals by the time the steady rain ends tonight will average around one inch, especially across Central Mass where the most persistent bands of rain will occur this afternoon into tonight.

FRIDAY looks cloudy and there will be scattered on and off showers throughout the day. It will be cool and kind of raw with high temperatures of around 55 Degrees. Winds will be North to Northeast at around 10 mph.

Warmer temperatures are expected THIS WEEKEND as a ridge of high pressure off of the US East Coast sets up a southwesterly wind flow.

Saturday is expected to be partly sunny with high temperatures around 75 Degrees.

Sunday is expected to be partly sunny with high temperatures around 80 Degrees.

Around One Inch Of Rain Is Expected During Thursday & Thursday Night Across Western & Central Mass (Posted Late Wednesday Morning 5/13/2026)

For This Afternoon & Tonight: The rain that we are having right now is expected to be done by midday or so. This will leave a cloudy and likely dry afternoon across the entire area.

Temperatures this afternoon will be between 60 and 65 Degrees. Winds will be South to Southwest at 10 to 20 mph.

Cloudy skies can be expected throughout tonight. In addition, there may be some scattered showers during the after midnight hours. Low temperatures will be between 45 and 50 Degrees. Winds will be South at 10 to 15 mph.

Thursday & Thursday Night: An area of low pressure is expected to form to the south of New England during the day on Thursday. This low pressure system is then expected to hang around near the Cape during Thursday night. An easterly wind flow on the north side of this low pressure system will pull in quite a bit of Atlantic moisture leading to rain throughout Thursday and Thursday night.

Rain will gradually overspread the entire area during Thursday morning. Rain is then expected to continue throughout all of Thursday afternoon. High temperatures Thursday will be around 60 Degrees. Winds will be South to Southeast at around 10 mph in the morning and East to Northeast at around 10 mph in the afternoon.

Rain is expected throughout Thursday night. Low temperatures will be between 40 and 45 Degrees. Winds will be North to Northeast at 5 to 10 mph.

Rainfall amounts during Thursday and Thursday night will average around one inch across the entire area.

Friday: That low pressure system is expected to slowly pull away from Southern New England during Friday. I do think that the low pressure system will be close enough to keep the weather unsettled during much of the day on Friday.

Periods of rain is expected to continue during Friday morning before it comes to an end by afternoon. Friday afternoon is then expected to be cloudy & it’s not out of the question that there could be a few isolated showers around.

High temperatures Friday will be around 55 Degrees. Winds will be North at around 10 mph.

This Weekend: Warmer temperatures are expected to push into the area during this weekend as a ridge of high pressure off of the US East Coast sets up a southwesterly wind flow.

Saturday is expected to be partly sunny with high temperatures around 75 Degrees.

Sunday is expected to be partly sunny with high temperatures near 80 Degrees.

Wet Weather Is Expected From Wednesday Through Thursday Is Expected Across Western & Central Mass (Posted Midday Monday 5/11/2026)

For This Afternoon: A mixture of sunshine and clouds can be expected throughout this afternoon as drier air works in behind the cold front that moved through yesterday.

Temperatures will be around 65 Degrees. Winds will be West to Northwest at around 10 mph.

Tonight: Partly cloudy skies can be expected throughout tonight. Low temperatures will be around 40 Degrees. Winds will be Northwest at 10 to 15 mph.

Tuesday: A pleasant day is expected on Tuesday under partly sunny skies. High temperatures will be between 60 and 65 Degrees. Winds will be Northwest at 10 to 15 mph.

Wednesday Through Thursday: An area of low pressure and its associated frontal system is expected to approach the area during Wednesday and Wednesday night. That weather system is then expected to slowly move through the area during the day on Thursday.

Wednesday is expected to be cloudy and there is expected to be on and off scattered showers throughout the day. High temperatures will be between 60 and 65 Degrees. Winds will be South to Southwest at 10 to 20 mph.

A steady rain is expected to occur throughout Wednesday night and Thursday thanks to that nearly stalled frontal boundary over our area. Low temperatures Wednesday night will be between 45 and 50 Degrees. High temperatures Thursday will be near 65 Degrees.

Total rainfall amounts from Wednesday through Thursday looks to average around one half of an inch (0.50”).

Friday: Low pressure and its associated frontal system is expected to slowly move to the east during the day Friday. I do think that this weather system will close enough to bring unsettled weather during Friday.

Cloudy skies are expected on Friday & there will be some scattered showers around throughout the day. High temperatures will be between 60 and 65 Degrees.

This Weekend: Saturday looks partly sunny with high temperatures near 70 Degrees.

Sunday is expected to feature a mixture of sun and clouds & it’s possible that there may be some scattered showers around during the afternoon. High temperatures will be near 70 Degrees.
