HALLOWEEN OR LABOR DAY
Have the summery layers ready! We’re looking at highs in the upper 70s and lower 80s in much of Massachusetts. Partly to mostly sunny skies will help promote the summer-time feel. We may even meet or beat some record highs, which currently stand at 81 in Boston and 79 in Worcester. No need to track down a jacket for trick-or-treating with balmy 60s and 70s through the evening.
The warmth will linger tonight and tomorrow. Get set for more 70s Friday. A front will pass through in the morning with clouds and spotty showers. Rainfall locally will only range from a trace to 0.05″. It won’t be enough to help with brush fire concerns. In fact, as Friday warms and clears, the winds will increase with gusts 25-35 mph - that’s bad news for any hot spots and smoldering fires.
WEEKEND DROP
Cooler air will arrive this weekend and bring us back to a typical October forecast. Expect highs in the 50s under mostly sunny skies. The mornings will be chilly, especially Sunday with some spots back to the freezing mark.
We “fall back” 2 AM Sunday morning. It will give you an extra hour of sleep. But it also means we’ll kick off those dreaded 4 PM sunsets that take us into winter.
