Staying quiet into Friday morning, scattered thunderstorms return tomorrow afternoon.
Skies remain partly cloudy tonight as an area of high pressure maintains control of the region. It will also be pretty comfortable with overnight lows falling to a refreshing mid-50s.
Friday will start off okay in the morning, but clouds will be increasing going into the afternoon. An approaching cold front is causing thunderstorms back across the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley today...that system will be with us by Friday afternoon. The best chance of thunderstorms tomorrow will be out towards the Berkshires after 1 p.m. This initial line will try to fall apart as it heads further into New England, but scattered thunderstorms are still in the forecast for the rest of western Massachusetts tomorrow afternoon/evening.
Rain showers will be developing again for Saturday morning...especially along the coast. This is expected to clear out by the afternoon as the cold front pushes through. We finish out the weekend on a pleasant note with partly cloudy skies for Sunday. A pleasant cool down comes to western Massachusetts as well...high temperatures will only be in the upper-70s this weekend. A majority of next week looks dry as well.
