Mass. weather: Temps in the 70s, overnight snow possible
Massachusetts is in for a stretch of weather extremes, with icy conditions giving way to 70-degree days and, possibly, snow next week.
Temperatures will continue to drop Saturday evening, getting as low as the mid 20s in Boston and Central Massachusetts and plunging as low as the teens in some parts of Western Massachusetts.
That will be followed by a warming period which should bring most of the state into the mid to upper 40s with clear skies Sunday afternoon. Monday will see temperatures continue to climb, reaching highs of 63 degrees in Boston, 61 degrees in Worcester, 65 degrees in Springfield and 54 degrees on Cape Cod & the Islands.
Some precipitation could develop Monday night, as the National Weather Service projects a 20% chance of rain in Central and Western Massachusetts.
Tuesday will see an increased possibility of rain across the state as temperatures continue to climb, reaching the upper 60s in the afternoon. Rain will continue Wednesday as daytime temperatures rise as high as 72 degrees in some parts of the state.
Wednesday night will bring cooler temperatures in the mid 30s, and there is a 50% chance that rain turns into snow overnight, according to the National Weather Service.
Little to no accumulation is expected, but Bay State residents shouldn't be surprised to see a dusting of white stuff when they wake up Thursday.
