Winter’s last stand? Snow likely in western MA before warmer days return

Temperatures are dropping as winter refuses to let go completely in Massachusetts. Light snow is on the way for parts of Central and Western Massachusetts Monday night, while the eastern side of the state might see some rain instead. Before that, Sunday evening brings more rain and thick fog, keeping the ground damp through early night. Overnight temperatures will hover around 32 to 35 degrees, so any precipitation could turn slushy quickly. By Monday, things start warming up slightly with highs reaching the mid-40s. Clouds will thicken, and a few light showers might sneak in by early Tuesday. Then, just as the sun rises, snowflakes could begin falling in the western hills, while the coast deals with steady rain. The mix of rain and snow might stick around until Tuesday evening before temperatures finally dip into the upper 20s overnight.But don’t worry—spring isn’t far behind. Wednesday brings clear skies and a gentle warm-up, with highs climbing into the upper 40s and low 50s. The sun stays out through Thursday too, pushing temperatures into the mid-50s. Nighttime won’t feel too cold either, with lows only dropping into the mid to upper 30s. The real question is whether this late snow is just a stubborn holdover from winter or a sign of things to come. Either way, it’s a reminder that New England weather loves to keep everyone guessing.
