Rain to end ‘beautiful’ fall Tuesday in Mass., followed by weekend cold snap

After what forecasters saying will be a "beautiful" autumn day across Massachusetts, rain and cool temperatures will roll into the state.

Skies are expected to be sunny and temperatures will climb well into the 60s on Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.

Highs in Springfield and Boston may reach up to 67 and 66 degrees, respectively, while even the Berkshires and Cape Cod and the Islands will be in the low 50s.

However, weather patterns are expected to shift overnight with rain showers starting after 10 p.m., with a marginal risk for rumbles of thunder.

The showers are expected to develop first in Western Massachusetts, then move toward Eastern Massachusetts between 4 a.m. and 8 a.m. on Wednesday, forecasters said.

Residents can expect only a few hours of rainfall with conditions clearing by Wednesday afternoon, sunshine breaking through and temperatures rebounding to the 60s. Winds could be higher, with gusts up to 25 mph.

Forecasters are eyeing cooler weather this weekend, as temperatures may drop into the 50s under low clouds and light winds. Overnight temperatures could be in the 20s and 30s by the weekend, forecasters warn.
