Mass. weather: Warm days ahead of weekend cold front
A warm Wednesday will lead into an even warmer Thursday across Massachusetts before a weekend cold front moves in.
Wednesday will see temperatures rise steadily into the 50s in most areas, reaching an afternoon high of 54 degrees in Boston, 52 degrees in Worcester and 54 degrees in Springfield. The Berkshires and Cape Cod & the Islands will top out in the upper 40s.
Clouds will gather through the afternoon and winds will increase, eventually reaching 10 to 20 mph. Some parts of Western Massachusetts could see light rain or even snow overnight, but no accumulation is expected.
Thursday is expected to be overcast with high temperatures in the low to mid 60s across the state, except Cape Cod & the Islands, which will be in the low to mid 50s. Rain showers could begin in the afternoon, and the National Weather Service projects an 80% chance of rain Thursday night.
A cold front will bring Friday temperatures down into the mid 40s, even as skies clear. Saturday highs will only reach the mid to upper 30s, and Sunday will be in the mid 40s. There is no precipitation in the weekend forecast.
Next week should see more spring-like conditions, with highs of 60 degrees on Monday and the possibility of 70 degrees later in the week.
