And now the 22 news storm team forecast.
And tonight is 641 on this Friday morning. Got a little bit of some
sunlight trying to come out here in Westfield elsewhere. You can see all
that morning cloud cover on our live camera network at that breeze coming in
right out of the north and northwest winds are gonna stay light. Temperatures
are a little cool this morning, starting off in the forties in some
spots with 49 in downtown Springfield, currently 49. Also an orange 51. The
temperature there in Northampton. So it's gonna be a little cool to start,
but we'll be not too bad by this afternoon. Temperatures will go up
pretty fast by nine a.m. We're in the upper sixties up and down the valley.
Notice we do climb into the seventies by noon around 74 in Springfield, 73 in
Northampton, some sixties back in the Berkshires, but even the Berkshires
could touch around 70 degrees for today. Three p.m. Still holding on to those
lower seventies and then temperature slowly fall as we go into this evening
six o'clock here. If you're heading out and about this evening to start off
your weekend, look okay. Upper sixties to near 70. But going through later
tonight, we're gonna see a front start to come through and watch these
temperatures kind of crash as we go into tomorrow morning. This is eight
a.m. On Saturday. This is the air temperature. It'll feel like we're in
the upper thirties and low forties or actual air temperature will be in the
upper thirties and low forties. But you factor in some of that wind because it
is gonna be windy tomorrow morning. Could be talking about wind chill
values. Something we usually don't talk about in the month of May that could
feel like we're around freezing 32 degrees wind chill at 10 a.m. Tomorrow
morning. Some spots could only feel like we're in the twenties. So a very
cold start to your Saturday high temperatures by tomorrow afternoon will
be right around the upper fifties to near 60. So sun and cloud mix for today
with a chance for a late day shower temperatures in the seventies and that
is the top of the 20 district team forecast. Focus heading into the day
for tomorrow. Again, some showers in the morning. It'll be a cool day. High
temperatures only into the upper fifties to near 60. It'll be windy as
well. But I think Sunday actually turns out to be really nice. We'll see a
sun and cloud mix temperatures in the seventies. So I think Sunday, of course,
is the pick of the weekend. And then we do stay a little cool heading into next
week with temperatures holding steady in the lower seventies. You can see
that brief cool down tomorrow. Again, a high temperature near 60 and then
we'll be into the low seventies for Sunday and Monday. Clouds of radar
looks fine across the region as we go throughout today. You can see that
morning cloud cover. I do think we'll see some sun as we go through this
morning. The clouds will try to build back in as we go through the afternoon,
heading towards around three p.m. Notice some spotty showers try to pop
up very hit or miss situation for the afternoon and evening. It's not until
really later tonight after around or after 10 p.m. that we could see some
more widespread showers try to push on through as that front sweeps through as
well, giving us that colder air and also that wind heading into tomorrow
morning. You can still see six a.m. Tomorrow going through around 10 or 8
a.m. There will be some rain around, but look at the highest peaks of the
Berkshires could mix with a little bit of some wet snowflakes. Goes to show
you how impressive that cold air will be for tomorrow morning. The reason
it will feel so cold is there will be wind gusts that could be around 40
MPH up and down the valley tomorrow morning. This is 10 a.m. So Saturday
will be cold. It'll be windy and it'll start off wet, drying up into the
afternoon for today, though, looking fine 72 to 76 with a chance for an
afternoon shower through tonight. Temperatures will fall back towards the
forties. Mostly cloudy, scattered showers. The wind will pick up after
midnight going into the weekend again tomorrow. Not the nicest day. Breezy
some morning showers high only around 60 Sunday. Definitely the pick of the
weekend. Rest of the 20 storm team seven day forecast here. Temperatures
will stay into the lower seventies, heading into next week for the first
week of June and those nighttime temperatures in the forties and fifties.
