Worcester is waking Monday to clear skies and temperatures around 48 degrees, but the city is headed into an unusually mild stretch for early November. Mostly sunny skies should carry the afternoon to about 67 before the thermometer eases back, with no meaningful rain expected today.

Warmth Builds Through Wednesday

Tuesday looks mostly sunny and warmer, topping out near 70, while Wednesday remains sunny near 69.

The National Weather Service Boston/Norton says the region's dry, unusually mild pattern should hold through midweek, with some inland spots potentially reaching the mid-70s. No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for the Worcester area in the current outlook.

Rain Arrives Late Thursday

Thursday brings a slight chance of rain. Thursday night brings a better shot at rain, and Friday is currently the wettest part of the workweek, with rain likely.

Saturday stays unsettled, with periodic chances for rain, while lighter or spotty showers may linger as late as Sunday as temperatures become more seasonable. The latest outlook sharpens the wetter window compared with Hoodline's earlier forecast, now favoring rain from Thursday night through Saturday.

Early Week Offers The Best Outdoor Window

For walks, errands or a last-minute patio stop, Monday through Wednesday offer the best dry stretch, with afternoons in the upper 60s to around 70. Thursday will also be mild near 70 before the wetter pattern settles in.
