Need a little morning wake-up call? We’ve got some interesting weather on the horizon.
A mix of precipitation is looming, and with temperatures hovering near or slightly above freezing, we’re looking at a mix of ice pellets, snowflakes, and isolated pockets of freezing rain. The areas most likely to see this wintry mix are western Massachusetts, northern Worcester County, and parts of southern New Hampshire.
Wet roads are expected for most areas, as the ground isn’t frozen, and temperatures are trending upwards through the morning. As we move into the mid-morning, off and on showers will be seen everywhere, with things drying up after lunch in all areas except the Cape and Islands.
It’s going to be raw and cool in many places, but some areas could warm up to the mid-50s by afternoon. Overnight, the clouds will persist, and most areas will stay in the “balmy” 40s.
Don’t be fooled by the “warmth” of Friday’s low to mid-50s. Colder weather is on the way for the weekend, with a mix of clouds. Saturday will be cloudier than Sunday, with both days seeing highs only in the 40s. If you’re heading to northern New England, expect highs in the 30s. It’s shaping up to be a semi-wintry weekend.
Temperatures will slowly moderate next week as we watch for a storm offshore on Tuesday. Overall, we’re looking at a calm and cool pattern heading into the end of the week. Enjoy the calm before the storm!
