A backdoor cold front is expected to bring cooler temperatures and the possibility of rain or freezing rain showers to Massachusetts this weekend. Although Friday will be dry and mostly cloudy, temperatures are expected to drop on Saturday and Sunday, with highs in the 30s and 40s in Worcester and Boston. Western areas like Springfield may see slightly warmer temperatures in the 60s. Any precipitation is likely to be isolated to northern Central Massachusetts, with a chance of freezing rain in the Worcester Hills. Fitchburg could see a high of 39 degrees on Saturday with a possibility of a tenth to a quarter of an inch of precipitation.
Temperatures are expected to rise back up on Monday, reaching the 60s before another cold front brings rain showers on Tuesday. Dry conditions are then expected to return on Wednesday, with temperatures in the 50s and 40s. The fluctuating weather pattern is common during the spring season as cold fronts move south along the Atlantic seaboard and the Great Lakes. While the upcoming changes in weather may not result in a washout, residents should be prepared for cooler temperatures and the possibility of precipitation throughout the weekend.
