Wednesday's Weather Forecast 12/17/25

And now the 22 News Storm Team forecast. >> And time now is 4:47 and we're taking a look here in Westfield. Looking fine to start off the morning. We got a breeze coming in out of the south. And overall quiet. Greenfield also not looking too bad out there to start off the day. Here's that wind out of the south. 13 miles per hour there in Springfield, 9 miles per hour Westfield. So here in the valley, you might notice a little bit of a breeze when you walk outside this morning, but temperatures 28 in Springfield. We're in the 20s as you go up towards Greenfield, some teens back in the Birkshars. You factor in that breeze and it feels a little cool out there. There is a slight wind chill feeling like we're around 18 there in Springfield, 17 in Greenfield. Uh so definitely still a cold start to the morning, but temperatures will be better as we go towards the afternoon. We likely climb into the low 40s for later today. So, uh, we'll actually for the first time this month, uh, only took us about 17 days, uh, to climb above average, uh, once again with these temperatures, sun and cloud mix as we go towards the afternoon. So, for today, it'll be dry, a little breezy with those temperatures in the 40s. That is the top of the 20 Storm Team forecast focus. We'll be wet and windy heading into Thursday night into Friday. Uh, most of any rain will be in the early morning hours on Friday, and we'll talk more about that in just a moment. But going into the weekend, it looks dry with temperatures in the mid to upper 30s. For right now, we're dry out there. Taking a wider view on clouds and radar. Much of the region looks fine going throughout the rest of the day here. 20 Storm Team Skycast 7:00 this morning going towards 9:00 a.m. There will be passing clouds as we go throughout the day at times. So, as I mentioned, we'll call it a sun and cloud mix heading into the evening. 6 p.m. looks fine and some passing clouds heading into tonight. In terms of the rain for Thursday night into Friday, notice here this is 1000 p.m. on Thursday. Still not a lot going on, but as time goes on around and after midnight here, we bring in first round of some showers and downpours. And then that really steady, heavier rain comes in Friday morning here. And we'll likely see a pretty windy start to the day as well. I should say very windy uh for some spots. 12:00 here on Friday. Still raining and then it's out of here as we go towards Friday evening. Could end with maybe a few snow showers with that colder air coming in behind it, but it looks to be mostly rain. In terms of the wind out there for today, uh we are going to be dealing with some wind gusts around 20 miles per hour or so. So, not too bad, but it's noticeable. It'll just be a breezy day as we go towards the afternoon. Maybe a little bit more in the Birkshshire spine there, but for us here in the valley, uh just a noticeable breeze as we go into the afternoon. So, for today, 40 to 44, sunny cloud mix, a little breezy. Heading through tonight, we'll fall back into the teens and low 20s again with some scattered clouds. The rest of the Twined Storm Team 7-day forecast, we are going to be seeing temperatures in the 40s continue tomorrow. Rain and wind on Friday. And again, that high temperature you're seeing there, that 53 will be in the morning. We'll obviously see temperatures fall throughout the day. By the afternoon on Friday, we'll be likely in the low to mid-40s. Uh going into the weekend, we're in the 30s and 40s, but dry. The first official start of winter is on Sunday.
