Worcester starts Veterans Day with scattered to broken mid- and high-level clouds that persist through the day, setting up one more comfortable fall day before a soggy stretch moves in. Wednesday, November 11, should have scattered to broken mid- and high-level clouds throughout the day, with a high in the mid to upper 50s. The bigger weather story arrives Thursday and lingers into Friday.
Clouds Wednesday Give Way To Rain Thursday
The National Weather Service forecast calls for dry conditions and calm to light variable winds through Wednesday night. Rain is likely after 1 p.m. Thursday, November 12, as clouds settle over the city. Rain is expected to expand over southern New England Thursday, according to the National Weather Service. For Worcester, the daytime chance of rain is 30%, with highs in the mid-50s.
Friday Looks Wet, Windy And Chilly
Rain becomes more persistent Thursday night and Friday, November 13, with a 100% chance of precipitation in the forecast. Friday’s high is expected to reach only 44 degrees, while windy conditions could bring gusts up to about 35 mph. That combination could make the day feel raw, especially during the morning commute and any outdoor Veterans Day events that carry over into the weekend.
Friday night may bring a chance of rain and snow, with lows in the lower 30s. Significant accumulation is not expected, but a few flakes would not be a shock.
Brighter Weekend Weather Returns
Saturday remains mostly cloudy, with a 40% chance of rain and snow and a high in the mid-40s. Conditions should improve Sunday, November 15, with mostly sunny skies and a high around 49, although northwest winds will keep the day feeling brisk.
The forecast turns quieter to start next week, with sunny skies and highs near 50 Monday and in the mid-50s Tuesday. Overnight lows will be colder, dipping to around 35 degrees Monday night, so the region’s brief return to dry weather will come with a decidedly wintry edge.
