After mixed snow and rain in Massachusetts, temps ‘plunge’ before some ‘unsettled’ weather
After some wet weather, get ready to bundle all the way up.
Following a bit of mixed snow, sleet and freezing rain overnight across interior areas of Massachusetts, any mixed precipitation should turn to all rain throughout the day on Friday.
The light to moderate rain is expected to clear out Friday night before a dry and cold airmass brings much chillier temps to the region.
Any wet surfaces should quickly dry Friday evening, as winds pick up overnight and gust up to 20 mph — which will bring wind chill values down into the 20s and teens by sunrise Saturday.
“We’ll be turning colder this weekend, especially on Saturday,” Matthew Belk, meteorologist at the National Weather Service’s Boston office, told the Herald on Thursday.
“Nighttime temps could plunge into the single digits in the Berkshires, and temps in the city of Boston may drop below 20 degrees,” Belk added.

Then a warm-up arrives for the start of the week. High temps on Monday and Tuesday should be close to 50 degrees before surpassing 50 on Wednesday.
But another rainy system could be on the way.
“It’s looking unsettled for the middle of the week, in the late Tuesday night to Wednesday timeframe,” Belk said. “There’s a front that, so far, can’t make up its mind.”
