Dry, Cool, Seasonable Veterans Day

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB/WSHM) - After plenty of cloud cover this morning the afternoon turned bright and sunny with highs into the middle and upper 50’s with a lighter breeze compared to Monday.

Tonight will be clear and chilly with lows falling into the lower and middle 30’s by morning.

Tomorrow, Veterans Day is looking nice, with mostly sunny skies and a classic November feel. Highs will range from the low to mid-50s, with a bit of a northwesterly breeze.

We’re tracking a coastal storm for later in the week, so Thursday will be cloudy with a few showers as a weak system moves toward the Mid-Atlantic. Showers will blossom into a steadier rain by later in the afternoon. Temperatures will top off near 50 then slide into the 40’s this evening.

The system will develop into a coastal storm that will track offshore and may draw in enough cold air in, especially aloft to cause a change to wet snow later Thursday and or Friday morning. Temperatures on Friday may stay in the 30’s in most spots with some accumulation in the hills and even some flakes in the valley. How much is too early to tell but no accumulation is expected in the valley. Areas above 1,000′ have the best chance for a couple of inches.

The system looks to move out in time for the weekend. It will be mostly cloudy and chilly with a few leftover showers and even some flakes on Saturday in the hills. Highs will top off in the middle 40’s, 30’s in the hills. Sunday should feature a bit more sunshine with highs closer to 50.

Next week looks mainly dry and seasonable.
