Mostly Cloudy Skies Tonight. Mild Tomorrow with the Chance for Afternoon Showers

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB/WSHM) - Temperatures were above normal this afternoon as highs topped out in the middle to upper 40s. Temperatures will again run above normal tomorrow though a weak disturbance will bring the chance for showers in the afternoon into the evening.

Skies will become mostly cloudy tonight but we will remain dry as lows fall back into the upper 20s to around 30. Lots of clouds are on tap for Sunday but it will be a mild day with highs once again in the middle to upper 40s. A weak system with a bit of moisture will move through western Mass so we will see the chance for a few light late afternoon and evening showers. There may be a few hill town flakes.

It will remain a bit unsettled on Monday with mostly cloudy skies and temperatures in the lower 40s. As these two weak features move out colder air will drain in behind it. This will bring temperatures to more seasonable levels for the middle of next week with highs near freezing.

February looks to begin colder. The storm track will remain just to our south and needs to be watched with cold air building to the north. For now, much of next week looks dry with perhaps Arctic cold by next weekend. That said, it would not take much to bring the storm track closer which would introduce the chance for precipitation but right now it looks dry.
