Clear and cold again tonight. Beautiful start to the weekend tomorrow

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB/WSHM) - It was a beautiful fall afternoon with lots of sunshine and seasonable temperatures. A beautiful start to the weekend is headed our way tomorrow before the rain chances return later Sunday into Monday.

With a clear sky and no wind temperatures will fall off quickly this evening. Temps will fall into the 40′s this evening then trickle into the 30′s by morning. Temperatures reach into the middle to upper 60s, flirting with 70 in some locations tomorrow afternoon. Tomorrow will be the pick of the weekend.

An area of low pressure off shore will drift closer to southern New England Sunday. This will bring clouds in and eventually some rainfall, however the bulk of the rain will hold off until after dark on Sunday. Some showers are possible Sunday afternoon. Periods of rain will continue Monday, coming down at varying rates of intensity. A soaking rain is still possible, especially the valley east.

Low pressure will drift away and break down next week, and behind this system we’ll have a mild/warm air mass in place. Temperatures will average above normal for the middle of next week. It may even a bit muggy with a shower here and there. Temperatures will average near 70 with lows near 50 before cooler temps arrive for the end of next week.
