SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB/WSHM) - It’s been a nice warm, dry day and we have a very refreshing evening ahead with clear skies, temperatures in the 70s, and a light breeze. It will remain clear overnight, and temperatures will drop into the low 50s by Saturday morning.

Saturday will be very similar to today with highs in the low 80s and low humidity, but a few more clouds move in during the evening as a warm front approaches. The warm front will pass through overnight into Sunday bringing a chance for some overnight showers.

Isolated showers and an afternoon thunderstorm are possible Sunday. But for the most part it will be warm and a bit muggy throughout the day.

Memorial Day starts out cooler but muggy and cloudy throughout the morning. We are tracking some showers for the afternoon that will last into the evening and then heavier rain for the overnight hours.

The overnight rain will be ending early Tuesday morning and cloud cover will decrease throughout the day. It will be warmer and more humid on Tuesday with highs near 80 again and dewpoints in the low 60s.

A cold front moves through overnight into early Wednesday morning bringing temps back to seasonable 70s and dropping the dewpoints into the 50s.
