SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB/WSHM) - Today is likely our nicest day this week. It’s mostly sunny and mild. Highs ranging in the middle 40’s with a lighter wind. Then it gets rainy and windy for Friday.

Friday will be a First Alert Weather Day, for a couple of reasons. Low pressure tracks into Eastern Canada, and a cold front brings some periods of steady to heavy rain early in the morning, impacting the commute, and lasting through the day.

This could bring the chance for some large puddles on the roads or isolated flooding. Looking at about an inch to inch and a half of rain.

Our bigger concern through will be the wind. We may see winds gusting between 40-50 mph at times, especially in the first half of the day. This means we could see isolated power outages and wind damage.

**A Wind Advisory will be in effect for all of Western Massachusetts from 4am Friday through 1am Saturday**

By the end of the day Friday, it’s breezy and it’s starting to get colder as we get behind our cold front. We may even see some snow in the hills on the backend of this system. Some spots can pick up a quick 1-2″.

Saturday will be chilly and breezy with highs in the 30’s under a mix of sun and clouds.

Sunday is the official first day of Winter, and we’ll see sun and clouds with highs in the lower 40’s.

Next week, the week of Christmas, is trending seasonable. Meaning daytime highs are likely ranging in the 30’s. There are a few chances for some light snow showers, so fingers crossed for a white Christmas!
