Showers and thunderstorms this afternoon, similar pattern for Saturday.
Clouds continue increasing as we head into the afternoon, leading up to scattered showers and thunderstorms developing by the afternoon. No severe weather outbreaks are expected, but a brief heavy downpour is possible for a few storms. High temperatures reach the lower-90s again today, with the humidity levels elevated just a little bit again today as well.
The best chance of rain today will be after 1 p.m. and through the late afternoon, very typical of a summer day in western Massachusetts. The chance of rain will then diminish heading into the evening hours.
Saturday is a similar story as showers and thunderstorms will develop in the afternoon again. Sunday looks partly sunny throughout the day, with an isolated shower possible as a trough moves through the region. One system we will be watching through the weekend is the potential of stronger thunderstorms late Sunday night through the overnight hours into Monday morning. Then we will dry out nicely with plenty of sunshine for the upcoming workweek.
