Temperatures will plunge below freezing again overnight, with most of the state experiencing temperatures in the low 20s and some parts of Western Massachusetts dropping into the teens.
Warmer conditions are on the way beginning Sunday. Early cloud cover will dissipate and temperatures should reach the high 40s in the afternoon.
Monday will see another day of calm, sunny conditions, with no precipitation and temperatures expected to breach 60 degrees in the afternoon.
Tuesday brings a 50% chance of precipitation in the afternoon, but also high temperatures in the mid 60s in most areas, with Springfield expected to hit 68 degrees. Precipitation could continue through Wednesday as temperatures take another step up to the mid 70s, according to the National Weather Service.
