Western Massachusetts expects sunny and dry weather for Halloween, though families should prepare for temperatures to drop significantly after sunset.
And now the 22 news storm team forecast
in our time now is 641 on this Friday morning. The sun
is just starting to come on up.
Our live camera network here showing a little bit of that sunlight
you can see here in Westfield, but also watch out.
There could be a little bit of Apache fog.
You can see a little bit of that haze on our Chicopee camera,
also our Greenfield camera here
as well. But let's take a better look
at that sun coming up here in Westfield as we look off to the
We'll be once again a nice sunny day.
Got that light breeze out there this morning and winds are calm
for now, but it is actually going to turn out to be a very breezy day.
Wow. We're going to see some wind gusts
by this afternoon near around 30 miles per hour possible.
Temperatures right now are 48 in Springfield,
also in Northampton, 53 there in Greenfield.
Some 40s and 50s back into the Berkshires. So it definitely feels
a lot warmer out there this morning than it was yesterday at this time.
Our 24 hour temperature change for 13 degrees warmer currently
in Springfield, 16 degrees warmer there in Orange.
Check out North Adams, almost 20 degrees warmer than 24 hours ago.
So it doesn't feel too bad when you walk outside.
Our high temperature for today
is actually going to be observed this morning
or into the early afternoon, right around 10,
11, 12 o'clock in the low 60s.
And then we're going to fall back down as we go through the afternoon.
Eventually by 6 p.m. we're in the mid 50s
and then eventually some 30s by later tonight.
If you're trying to get outside today, get some yard cleanup.
I would say today might be a little difficult,
giving it the yellow leaf there.
Winds can be around 10 to 15.
Miles per hour, so a lot of those leaves
are going to be blowing around.
But the weekend looks fantastic.
It looks nice and bright, and also
the wind looks to turn nice and light
for your Saturday and also your Sunday.
Our average high, 59 degrees,
will be into the upper 50s for your day tomorrow.
Right around 60, you're into the 60s for your Sunday, Monday,
and staying around or above average through much of next week.
As we start off the month of November,
clouds of radar across the region,
you can see we're got a couple of showers off to our east here.
This is a very weak little cold front
that's sweeping on through right now.
And behind that front, the wind is going to pick up
and you're going to notice again, temperatures will slowly drop
as we go throughout the day, especially during later this afternoon.
Our 20 day storm team skycast here 7 a.m. 9 o'clock through noon.
By lunchtime, nothing but sun. It is a bright blue sky. Beautiful day.
Temperature is getting into the low 60s, but it will be a little
breezy again with that wind out of the west this afternoon through
this evening looking fine and we do stay clear heading into tonight.
In terms of that wind, not a lot out there early, but notice here
by 9 a.m. going through noon, the wind really does start to pick up
and check out back in the Berkshires.
Some spots could be gusting around or over 30 miles per hour.
This is 3 p.m. this afternoon, around 25,
30 miles per hour in the valley.
Could be as high as almost 35 miles per hour back into the Berkshires.
So it will be very windy today.
And then as we go into the evening, still holding on to that breeze.
So with that wind, the really dry vegetation out there, of course,
we haven't really seen any rain over the past two weeks.
And a lot of those leaves are now falling off the trees.
Our brush fire danger is very high for today.
So use a lot of extra caution.
With any flammable materials,
any disposing of cigarettes or anything like that,
it won't take much for them to catch on to all that dry vegetation.
Potentially start a brush fire. So use extra caution today.
60 to 64. Mostly sunny and breezy through tonight.
We're going to fall right back down to the 30s.
Mostly clear that breeze will continue.
Halloween for tomorrow looks fantastic.
Lots of sun temperatures in the 50s bone dry for your day on Saturday
and tomorrow evening for trick or treating looks good.
It'll turn out to be a little chilly again. Temperatures will
be dropping eventually bottoming out in the 20s for tomorrow night.
But then we'll be in the 60s as we go through much of next week,
especially Election Day there on Tuesday.
It looks great to get out and vote.
Sunny cloud mix, temperatures in the upper 60s,
chance for some rain by the end
of next week, so we'll keep an eye on that.
