UPDATE: SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH THROUGH THE REGION TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING AND THEN TAPER TOWARDS LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON… THEREAFTER, ANOTHER WAVE OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SHOWERS WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION LATER AFTERNOON AND THROUGH THE EVENING BEFORE TAPERING TUESDAY MORNING FROM NORTH TO SOUTH… 5pm Sunday…
Good afternoon folks, we’ve had some showers working through the region this afternoon along a frontal boundary draped over southern New England.
We’ve seen our highs for the day, and temps should settle down into the 50s overnight as more showers track through the region, especially along and north of the Pike.
Currently at around 5pm, a heavy cluster is moving into the central and southern Berkshires which will impact southern Franklin, Hampshire, and Hampden Counties into the dinner hours.
Later tonight, moderate to heavy rainfall should track into the region from NY state, and some street flooding is possible by dawn (see attached possible radar depiction at 5am tomorrow morning near dawn).
After the overnight wave of low pressure and showers tracks through, we should see a tapering of showers late morning into the mid afternoon or so. Still, a few showers will be expected here and there. Highs will only be in the 50s to near 60º with the frontal boundary to our south and west.
As that boundary gets pushed northeast again by another wave of low pressure, showers will increase by evening and overnight Monday into Tuesday morning. Lows will drop to between 50-55º, so expect a raw period of weather tomorrow and tomorrow night.
Tuesday morning showers and clouds should lead to drying and brightening, although it looks like a mostly cloudy day at the moment. Northeast flow will dominate and keep us cool again with highs in the 50s.
Sunshine increases mid to late week with highs in the 60s and improving conditions.
Have a great night and enjoy the rainy pitter patterings!

PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL WILL VISIT THE WMASS REGION… SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE WELL NORTH OF THE PIKE THIS AFTERNOON, BUT BY THIS EVENING AND ESPECIALLY OVERNIGHT, A SHIELD OF RAIN SHOWERS SHOULD DESCEND NORTH TO SOUTH WITH HEAVY RAIN AT TIMES OVERNIGHT AND INTO EARLY MONDAY, WITH INTERMITTENT RAIN DURING THE DAY… HEAVIER RAINS POSSIBLE AGAIN MONDAY NIGHT, WITH FLOODING POTENTIAL AT THAT TIME… TUESDAY TAPERS OFF, WITH WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY LOOKING A BIT BETTER… 7:55am Sun…
Good morning everybody, I hope you slept well and have a nice Sunday coming up. While we’ll get some sunny periods at times this morning, the overall trend is going to be for increasing clouds to develop from west to east, as showers are already breaking out across central and western New York state this morning.
It will be a dry morning for sure, with some showers possible in SVT and SWNH by early to mid afternoon.
A cold front will be dropping from southern Maine and central NH through Massachusetts and down into CT and RI over the next 24 hours, which will combine with an incoming wave of low pressure along with an upper level jet stream that will all combine to produce prodigious atmospheric lift.
As these processes begin to coalesce today and tonight, a shield of scattered showers will fill in more, and descend north to south by later this afternoon into areas north of the Pike, and fill in everywhere tonight, with heavy rain at times overnight.
Highs today will reach the upper 60s to mid 70s as we’ll be on the south side of the cold front most of the day, i.e. the warm sector.
For tonight, rain will fall, heavily at times, with lows in the low to mid 50s as the front passes south through our region. Patchy fog will be present in some areas by tomorrow morning.
On Monday, we’ll be on the north side of the front, with much cooler conditions. Highs are only expected to reach the upper 50s to low 60s, and we’ll have periods of rain likely all day, which will fall heavily at times, into Monday night, with lows in the low to mid 50s.
Rain should taper off by Tuesday late morning, but anywhere from 1-3″ of rain fall could result, and we can’t rule out some street flooding or an isolated flash flood warning, if we get a few thunderstorms to fire up.
Highs on Tuesday will only reach the 55-60º range as we slowly dry out in the afternoon, though expect skies to remain mostly cloudy for now. Lows again will drop into the low to mid 50s.
Wednesday through Friday looks like a slow period of drying out, but plenty of mid/upper moisture will be producing more clouds than sunshine, at least for Wednesday, and possible into Thursday as well.
However, because the cold front will return as a warm front and pass through the region as our storms systems pull away to our north and east, we will warm back up into the 65-70º range for the mid to late week period with a generally rain-free forecast.
Looking way beyond, it looks like we’ll be on the warmer side of average into mid-October, so no direct descents into deep Autumn or early Winter are being signaled!
Have a great day!
