Saturday Night & Sunday: The second half of this weekend is looking quite wet across all of Western and Central Mass as a warm front pushes through the region. There is expected to be quite a bit in the way of energy and dynamics connected to this warm front. Because of this, locally heavy rainfall & a few thunderstorms look likely across the region from after midnight Saturday night through Sunday morning.
Skies are expected to quickly become cloudy during Saturday evening. Widespread showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected to overspread the entire area during the after midnight hours of Saturday night. Widespread showers and a few thunderstorms are expected to continue through all of Sunday morning. Locally heavy downpours are likely with the more robust showers and with any thunderstorms from after midnight Saturday night through Sunday morning.
Most of the widespread shower activity is expected to come to an end by early Sunday afternoon. That said, I do think that we’ll probably see a few scattered showers during the mid and late afternoon hours of Sunday.
Rainfall totals from after midnight Saturday night through Sunday will average between one-half of an inch (0.50”) and one inch (1.00”). The higher rainfall totals closer to one inch looks to occur across areas near and south of the Mass Pike while the lower rainfall totals closer to one-half of an inch looks to occur across northern Worcester County.
Low temperatures Saturday night will be around 60 Degrees. High temperatures Sunday will be around 70 Degrees. It will also be humid on Sunday with dew point temperatures in the mid to upper 60s.
Winds on Saturday night will be South to Southwest at 5 to 10 mph. Winds on Sunday will be West at around 10 mph.
