Massachusetts could see some brief snow showers, or even squalls, on Monday, a day that forecasters are otherwise expecting to remain relatively quiet.
A Wind Advisory remains in place for parts of the Berkshires until 9 a.m., with winds between 15 and 25 mph and gusts up to 50 mph expected. The winds are expected to diminish as the day goes on, with gusts around 15 to 20 mph lingering through the afternoon before weakening later in the day.
Monday afternoon could bring brief snow showers or squalls, with the best chance for snow coming in the interior parts of Southern New England. Any snow that does fall is not expected to accumulate.
Aside from the snow, Monday is expected to be fairly dry, with seasonable temperatures peaking in the mid-to-high 30s.
Forecasters expect a warming trend Tuesday into Wednesday, with temperatures reaching the low to mid-40s on Tuesday and the mid to high 40s on Wednesday.
“Some locations south and west of Boston into (Rhode Island) and southeast (Massachusetts) could approach 50,” forecasters wrote.
A fast-moving low-pressure system could make its way into the region on Tuesday, bringing snow showers to higher elevations and rain to the rest of the state. But forecasters said their confidence in the precipitation making it to the region was low.
A more unsettled weather pattern is expected to develop later in the week, with periodic chances for showers, forecasters said. Temperatures are expected to fall back to normal or even slightly below normal for mid-January by Friday.
Another round of light rain or snow showers could come late Wednesday into Thursday, due to disturbances in the atmosphere, but forecasters said the track of the disturbances relative to the region was not clear.
Forecasters are monitoring for the potential development of a coastal storm system later Thursday into Friday, but “significant uncertainty remains” about its track.
“A favorable track could bring widespread precipitation to southern New England,” forecasters wrote. “Based on the given variables, the potential for a coastal low toimpact the region remains low confidence.”
