Some Late Night Scattered Thunderstorms Are Expected Tonight Across Western & Central Mass

For The Rest Of This Afternoon: A mixture of some sunshine and lots of clouds can be expected throughout the rest of this afternoon. It will be hot with temperatures between 85 and 90 Degrees. Winds will be Southwest at 15 to 20 mph.

Tonight: A cold front is expected to push through Southern New England during the overnight hours of tonight. This front will bring with it some late night scattered showers and thunderstorms to all of Western and Central Mass.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms will push into Western Mass by just before midnight tonight. These scattered showers and thunderstorms will then push into Central Mass by midnight to 1 am or so.

These scattered showers and thunderstorms are then expected to affect all of Western Mass throughout the after midnight hours of tonight before they come to an end by 5 to 6 am Monday morning across Western Mass and by 6 to 8 am or so Monday morning across Central Mass.

It should be pointed out that a couple of the thunderstorms could be on the strong side & be capable of producing gusty winds, torrential downpours and frequent lightning.

Bottom line is that expect to be woken up during the after midnight hours of tonight by the sound of frequent thunder.

Low temperatures will be near 60 Degrees. Winds will be Southwest at 10 to 20 mph before midnight and West at 10 to 15 mph after midnight.

Monday Through Wednesday: A slightly cooler and much drier air mass will push into the area for Monday and Tuesday. Warmer temperatures and a bit more humidity is then expected on Wednesday.

Monday looks partly sunny with high temperatures near 80 Degrees. Winds will be West to Northwest at 10 to 15 mph.

Tuesday will be sunny to partly sunny with high temperatures between 75 and 80 Degrees. Winds will be West at around 10 mph.

Wednesday looks to feature a mixture of some sunshine and lots of clouds. High temperatures will be between 75 and 80 Degrees.

Thursday: I do have concerns that the weather could get quite active by Thursday afternoon and Thursday evening.

A strong low pressure system is expected to push into southern Quebec province during the day on Thursday. A frontal boundary associated with this strong low pressure system is forecast to move through our area during late Thursday afternoon and Thursday evening.

An anomalously strong low pressure system like this for mid-June moving into Quebec province can be big trouble in terms of severe weather across not only Western and Central Mass but also across all of the northeastern United States & this is why I’m concerned with the potential weather for Thursday afternoon and Thursday evening.

It’s possible that we could see a robust squall line of strong to severe thunderstorms move through during later Thursday afternoon and Thursday evening producing damaging winds, hail and possibly even a tornado or two.

The weather for Thursday is something that I’ll be keeping a close eye on & I’ll definitely have updates for you as needed.

High temperatures Thursday will be between 75 and 80 Degrees.

FINALLY - I'm reaching out to you to ask for your help in supporting us here at Route 20 Weather.

It not only looks like it’s going to be a long night coming up for me tracking the thunderstorms for you, but also I’m probably going to be very busy this coming week tracking and keeping you updated about the potential severe weather for Thursday.

You helping me to alleviate the time & costs that’s required to analyze and produce the forecasts that I send out for Western and Central Mass would be immensely appreciated.

2:30 pm Thursday Weather Update For Western & Central Mass

An area of thunderstorms have developed just to the south of Albany, New York. These thunderstorms are moving to the east-southeast at a forward speed of about 35 mph.

It is expected that these thunderstorms should reach the southern Berkshires between 3 and 3:30 pm & may reach the lower Pioneer Valley of Western Mass, including the Springfield Metro by about 4:15-4:30 pm.

The trajectory of this area of thunderstorms is such that it may miss much of Central Mass. The exception may be across southwestern Worcester County from Sturbridge and Southbridge eastward to Dudley and Webster where these thunderstorms may arrive about 5 pm or so.

Additional scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop by later this afternoon and persist into this evening across Western Mass and across parts of Central Mass. While most of Western Mass will have a threat for scattered showers and storms late this afternoon and this evening, it appears that the area most at risk for showers and storms will be across western, central and southern Worcester County. This includes the Worcester Metro, as well as the hills west of Worcester. It also includes areas near Route 9, I-290, the Mass Pike, I-84 and I-395.

Any of the thunderstorms this afternoon and this evening will be capable of producing wind gusts of up to 40-50 mph, torrential downpours and frequent lightning.

Hot & Humid Weather Is Expected On Thursday & Friday Across Western & Central Mass

It is expected that there will be a few widely scattered showers and thunderstorms around for the next few hours. That said, any showers or thunderstorms will be very hit or miss. Any shower or thunderstorm activity will come to an end between midnight and 2 am.

THURSDAY is expected to be a hot and humid day with high temperatures between 90 and 95 Degrees and dew point temperatures in the low 70s. Not a fun day to be outdoors for any extended period of time.

There is the possibility for some scattered showers and thunderstorms during Thursday evening, mainly between 7 pm and midnight. If there are any thunderstorms Thursday evening, they could be on the strong side and produce gusty winds, locally torrential downpours and frequent lightning. The area of most concern for strong thunderstorms will be across Western Mass, especially along and west of I-91.

FRIDAY is also expected to be a hot and humid day with high temperatures between 90 and 95 Degrees and dew point temperatures in the low 70s.

It's possible that there could be some scattered showers and thunderstorms around during Friday evening. A couple of the thunderstorms could be on the strong side & be capable of producing gusty winds, torrential downpours and frequent lightning.

THIS WEEKEND still looks dry, but very warm.

SATURDAY will be sunny and less humid with high temperatures between 85 and 90 Degrees.

SUNDAY looks partly sunny with high temperatures around 85 Degrees.
