Worcester starts Wednesday under clear skies and mild temperatures, with readings in the mid-50s early and a sunny climb into the low 70s. November is briefly pretending it forgot the calendar. Temperatures should remain warm through the afternoon.
Warm Wednesday Gives Way To Fog And Clouds
The National Weather Service Boston/Norton discussion points to overnight temperatures in the 50s and southwest flow. Thursday begins with patchy fog between 7 and 8 a.m., followed by mostly cloudy skies and a slight chance of light rain between 1 and 2 p.m. The high should reach about 72, with southwest gusts as high as 24 mph.
Rain Possible Thursday Night
Rain is possible Thursday night, and rain is also in the forecast Friday. Friday night could bring continued rain and a slight chance of thunderstorms.
Saturday brings likely rain, with a high near 64. Broader regional guidance suggests 1 to 3 inches of rain could fall across parts of central and eastern southern New England, though that is not a guaranteed total for Worcester. Poor-drainage and urban flooding are possible, especially where autumn leaves clog storm drains, while flash flooding is not currently expected.
Cooler, Brighter Weather Follows
Sunday brings a slight chance of rain. Temperatures are expected to return to the 50s early next week.
No watches, warnings or advisories are currently posted for Massachusetts. For Worcester residents, the practical forecast is simple: enjoy the unusually warm Wednesday, keep rain gear handy by Thursday night, and clear nearby drains before the wettest part of the week arrives.
