A Quiet Weather Pattern Is Expected For Much Of Next Week Across Western & Central Mass

For Tonight: The strong winds are expected to decrease during tonight with West to Northwest winds of 15 to 25 mph with gusts to 40 mph before midnight and West winds of 7 to 15 mph after midnight.

Skies tonight will be clear to partly cloudy with low temperatures of 15 to 20 Degrees.

Sunday: More clouds than sunshine can be expected during the day on Sunday. In addition, there may be an isolated rain shower or two during the afternoon, although, most areas will stay dry on Sunday.

High temperatures will be between 40 and 45 Degrees. Winds will be West at 10 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph.

Next Week: A quiet week of weather looks likely across the region as any storm systems moving across the country will remain well to our south.

Monday looks sunny to partly sunny with high temperatures between 50 and 55 Degrees.

Tuesday looks sunny with high temperatures near 60 Degrees.

Wednesday also looks sunny with high temperatures near 55 Degrees.

Thursday looks partly sunny with high temperatures between 50 and 55 Degrees.

The weather on Friday does need to be watched in terms of the chance for showers as a weak frontal system moves through the region. At this point, I think that we’re probably looking at cloudy skies on Friday with perhaps some very isolated shower activity. High temperatures will be between 50 and 55 Degrees.

Very Strong Winds Expected Tonight & Friday

A period of VERY STRONG winds are expected for tonight through all day on Friday.

Any leftover showers will come to an end during this morning with skies remaining cloudy through this afternoon. Temperatures today will remain around 50 Degrees. Winds will become West and will increase to 10 to 20 mph by this afternoon.

Yet another round of very strong winds can be expected throughout tonight and throughout the day on Friday. West winds of 25 to 35 mph with gusts to 60 mph are likely throughout tonight and throughout Friday. This will lead to the potential for downed tree limbs and power lines leading to the possibility of some power outages.

Even though the winds will decrease a little on Friday night and Saturday, they will still remain strong. Expect West winds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts to 50 mph during Friday night and Saturday.

Skies during tonight, Friday, Friday night and Saturday will be clear to partly cloudy. Low temperatures tonight will be between 20 and 25 Degrees. High temperatures Friday will be between 40 and 45 Degrees. Low temperatures Friday night will be between 20 and 25 Degrees. High temperatures Saturday will be between 35 and 40 Degrees.
