Mass. weather: Hail, thunderstorm risk possible across Bay State Tuesday night
With a cold front on track to enter the region Tuesday night, there's a chance that isolated thunderstorms, high winds and hail could develop across Massachusetts.
Scattered showers and some thunder are likely to appear above Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island by early Tuesday night, according to the National Weather Service.
"Given the lack of instability, not expecting severe weather," forecasters wrote. "A few of the stronger showers/isolated storms may be accompanied by wind gusts up to 45 mph and small hail. Although, this will be the exception."
Tuesday's warmer temperatures in the 60s should see a big drop overnight, when lows should be in the 30s and wind chills leaving temperatures in the 20s, forecasters said. Chilly weather should continue through Wednesday, when temperatures should stay in the low 50s and, in higher terrain, in the high 40s.
Conditions should be dry, with the coastal plain likely to see sunshine, forecasters said. Wednesday night's conditions should resemble those of Tuesday night.
Warm conditions should peak by the end of the week, with highs nearing or just over 70 degrees on Saturday, forecasters said. This warmth could depend on how much cloud cover and winds, with potential gusts between 25 and 35 mph, are present.
Dry conditions should stay persistent through the remainder of the weekend and early into next week, forecasters said. But more unsettled weather could make a return appearance as early as Tuesday.
