After record-high temps in Massachusetts, a chance for the first snow of the season
From summerlike warmth to possible snowfall in a few days.
Sounds just like New England.
After temps soared to record-highs in the 80s on Saturday, a major cool down is coming to the region over the next few days.
The National Weather Service forecast shows that in parts of Massachusetts, temps may be cold enough for the area’s first chance of light snow of the season on Wednesday and Wednesday night.
It appears that there could be some snowfall across the higher elevations of central and western Massachusetts.
“There is only a 10-30 percent chance of snowfall over an inch,” the National Weather Service’s forecast discussion reads. “Given the time of year and the anticipated strength of the lift, snow would be most likely during the nighttime hours, especially towards the Berkshires. As previously mentioned, it is still way too early to pinpoint snowfall totals and timing for specific locations.”
Ahead of the cool down coming, people got to enjoy some unseasonably warm temps on Saturday.
Boston hit 81 degrees — tying its record-high for Oct. 28 with 1919 and 1927. Both Hartford and Providence set new records for Oct. 28; Hartford hit 84 degrees, and Providence reached 82 degrees.
