A Couple Of Relatively Mild Days Will Be Followed By Light Snow Friday Night Into Saturday & Very Cold Temperatures This Weekend Across Western & Central Mass

For Tonight: An area of high pressure is expected to control the weather throughout tonight.

This means that skies will be clear throughout tonight with low temperatures near 10 Degrees. Winds will be West to Northwest at around 10 mph.

Tuesday: That high pressure system will continue to control the weather throughout Tuesday.

Skies during Tuesday will be sunny to partly sunny with high temperatures between 30 and 35 Degrees. Winds will be West at 6 to 12 mph.

Wednesday Through Thursday: Quiet weather is expected to continue through Wednesday and Thursday across the region.

Wednesday is expected to be sunny with high temperatures around 30 Degrees. Winds will be West to Northwest at 10 to 20 mph.

Thursday looks sunny with high temperatures between 25 and 30 Degrees.

Friday: Skies are expected to start out sunny to partly sunny during the morning, however, skies will become cloudy during the afternoon as a low pressure system and its associated Arctic front approaches the area. High temperatures will be near 25 Degrees.

Some Light Snow Is Possible Friday Night Into Saturday: An area of low pressure and its associated Arctic cold front is expected to push through the area during Friday night into Saturday. This is likely to be a quick hitting system that has a limited amount of moisture associated with it. Because of this, I’m only expecting light snow to occur with this system that leads to about an inch or so of snow accumulation.

At this point, it appears that light snow will be possible from after midnight Friday night through Saturday morning. Snow amounts of around one inch look possible across the entire area.

Yet Another Round Of Arctic Air Will Produce Some Very Cold Temperatures This Weekend: What this Arctic cold front will do is introduce another round of Arctic air into the area throughout this upcoming weekend. This will lead to some very cold temperatures across the entire area during Saturday, Saturday night and Sunday. Some gusty winds throughout this weekend could lead to some of the coldest wind chill temperatures so far this winter (and this has been a cold winter already, so that’s kind of saying something).

High temperatures Saturday will be around 5 Degrees. Winds will be Northwest at 20 to 30 mph leading to wind chill temperatures of 15 below zero to 20 below zero.

Low temperatures Saturday night will be between 5 below zero and 10 below zero. Winds will be Northwest at 20 to 30 mph leading to wind chill temperatures of 30 below zero and 35 below zero.

High temperatures Sunday will be around 10 Degrees. Winds will be West to Northwest at 25 to 35 mph leading to wind chill temperatures of 20 below zero to 30 below zero in the morning and around 15 below zero in the afternoon.

Bottom line is that the wind chill temperatures this weekend could be quite dangerous & the frostbite risk will be quite high.

A Stretch Of Quiet Weather Is Expected Across Western & Central Mass Through Much Of Next Week; The Next Chance For Some Snow May Be Around Friday Night Into Next Saturday

For Tonight: Partly cloudy skies are expected throughout tonight with low temperatures between Zero and 5 Degrees. Winds will be North to Northwest at 5 to 10 mph before midnight and North to Northwest at 10 to 20 mph after midnight.

Sunday: An intense low pressure system still looks to track well to the south and east of Nantucket during the day on Sunday. The track of this storm will be too far offshore to bring any snow at all to Western and Central Mass.

Varying amounts of cloud cover can be expected throughout the day on Sunday. High temperatures will be between 20 and 25 Degrees. Winds will be North to Northwest at 15 to 20 mph.

Next Week’s Weather Outlook: A large part of next week looks quiet in terms of weather. While temperatures next week look milder as compared to what they’ve been lately, the temperatures will still be below average for this time of year. Also, there will probably be a little bit of melting of snow next week, but most of the snowpack will remain in place.

Monday is expected to be sunny with high temperatures around 30 Degrees. Winds will be Northwest at 10 to 20 mph.

Tuesday looks partly sunny with high temperatures between 25 and 30 Degrees.

Wednesday is expected to be sunny with high temperatures near 30 Degrees.

Thursday looks sunny with high temperatures around 25 Degrees.

Friday looks to start out sunny, but skies will become cloudy during the afternoon as a low pressure system may approach the region. High temperatures will be near 30 Degrees.

Next Chance For Some Snow May Be Around Friday Night Into Next Saturday: I am going to be keeping an eye on the possibility of a low pressure system off of the New England coast on Friday night. While it looks unlikely right now that this storm system will bring significant snow amounts to the area, this low pressure system may bring some snow (maybe a couple of inches or so of snow) to the entire area during Friday night that lasts into next Saturday.

It’s a weather system that I’m going to keep an eye on & I’ll have updates for you as needed.

Very Little Or No Snow Is Expected On Sunday Across Western & Central Mass; All Looks Quiet In Terms Of Weather Next Week

For Tonight & Saturday: Clear skies with bitter cold temperatures are expected throughout tonight. Low temperatures will be between Zero and 5 below zero. Winds will be West to Northwest at 10 to 20 mph. Wind chill temperatures will be near 20 below zero tonight.

Saturday looks to be a sunny to partly sunny day with high temperatures around 15 Degrees. Winds will be Northwest at 6 to 12 mph.

Sunday: It appears that an intense low pressure system will stay too far east of our area to give us really any snow on Sunday across all of Western and Central Mass.

Skies during the day on Sunday will feature varying amounts of clouds. In addition, all of Western Mass and a majority of Central Mass will likely see no snow at all during Sunday. The exception to this will be across far southeastern parts of Worcester County where some snow showers are possible during Sunday afternoon.

High temperatures will be near 25 Degrees. Winds will be North at 15 to 20 mph.

Next Week’s Weather Outlook: As a whole, next week looks quiet in terms of weather across the entire area.

Monday looks sunny with high temperatures between 30 and 35 Degrees.

Tuesday looks sunny with high temperatures near 30 Degrees.

Wednesday is expected to be partly sunny with high temperatures near 30 Degrees.

Thursday looks partly sunny with high temperatures near 30 Degrees.

Friday is expected to be partly sunny with high temperatures between 30 and 35 Degrees.
