Worcester started Friday with light snow and fog, and the storm system responsible is finally loosening its grip. Rain and snow showers should taper from late morning into early afternoon, but gusty north winds and gray skies will keep the city feeling colder than the 42-degree high.
Rain And Snow Fade By Early Afternoon
A chance of rain remains before 1 p.m., followed by mostly cloudy skies through the rest of the day. The National Weather Service describes gusty northerly winds, so the morning commute could be damp, chilly and a little unpleasant.
Saturday Brings The First Break
Friday night will stay mostly cloudy with a low near 32 degrees and light northwest winds. Saturday could be mostly cloudy or overcast, with a high near 45, although a slight chance of rain may return late in the afternoon.
Next Week Turns Noticeably Milder
Sunday starts a steady warm-up, with more clouds than sun and a high near 47, followed by highs around 49 Monday and in the mid-50s Tuesday. The forecast then reaches the upper 50s Wednesday and near 60 Thursday, while overnight lows remain cold in the upper 20s and 30s. The shift is a notable upgrade from the stormy setup outlined in an earlier Hoodline forecast.
