SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB/WSHM) - It was a cold start to our Friday with many of us starting around freezing.

Low pressure situated in Eastern Canada that has been influencing our weather for the last few days, finally departs.

With that, we’re finally seeing an appearance from the sun. We’ll see good sunshine through the whole first half of the day with building clouds by the afternoon. Highs range in the lower to middle 40’s.

Tonight, skies clear out and winds go calm, so it will be cold. Lows fall into lower and middle 20’s.

Saturday, we have a cold and sunny start, then clouds build throughout the day. Highs range in the lower to middle 40’s with a light breeze. We’ll get through the entire day rain-free, but we are tracking some rain for Saturday night.

Low pressure tracks to our north, and we’re on the milder side of the system. Rain gets going between 7-8pm Saturday and lasts through the overnight. We may start as a very brief rain and snow mix in the higher elevations but will quickly turn to just a soaking rain.

By Sunday morning, rain is coming to an end around sunrise. It’s mild to start the day with temperatures near 50°. Then as low pressure moves away, colder air works in so temperatures will drop throughout the day, and it turns windy. Winds may gust between 30-40 mph at times.

On Monday, we’re partly sunny with another taste of winter. It’s cold with highs ranging in the upper 30’s to near 40° with a gusty breeze.

Right now, most of next week is trending dry, chilly and breezy with shower chances by the end of the week.
