Weekend Weather Watch: Massachusetts Braces for a Chilly Shift

Massachusetts is in for a temperature tumble this weekend. Saturday night will see a significant drop, especially in the northern and western parts of the state. The thermometer is expected to dip into the low 30s and upper 20s, making it quite brisk. The wind that picked up on Saturday is forecasted to calm down as high pressure moves in. However, coastal areas might still feel some gusts lingering into the evening. The night will be clear, but that won't make it any warmer. This chill isn't just for one night. It's expected to stick around into Sunday. Cities like Springfield, Worcester, and Boston will see temperatures in the low to mid 50s. But Pittsfield might not be so lucky, with highs only reaching the 40s. As night falls on Sunday, temperatures will drop again, hitting the 30s in most places. Coastal towns might fare a bit better, with temperatures ranging from the 30s to 40s. But don't despair, warmer weather is on the way. Monday is looking up, with temperatures climbing into the 60s. However, it won't be entirely sunny. Clouds will roll in ahead of an approaching cold front, so don't pack away those jackets just yet.
