Spring may not have come yet, but Massachusetts is set to experience a warm-up over the next week that could melt some of the lingering snow.
From Friday through Monday, mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid 30s to low 40s are predicted across the state, according to the National Weather Service. Temperatures are expected to warm even further from Tuesday through Thursday next week, with daily highs reaching the upper 30s to mid 40s.
Overnight low temperatures are predicted to drop into the low 20s on the Cape and Islands and into the teens across the rest of the state Thursday night, according to the weather service. Lows in the mid teens to mid 20s are expected throughout Massachusetts Friday and Saturday night.
A few passing flurries or brief snow showers are possible late Friday night into early Saturday, but they will be “moisture-starved,” meaning that they should not have much impact or leave more than a dusting, according to the weather service.
Forecasters have been monitoring a winter storm that looked like it might reach Massachusetts Sunday night, but weather models now indicate its track will be too far offshore to impact Southern New England, the weather service said.
Overnight low temperatures are also predicted to be warmer next week, according to the weather service. After Sunday night, when temperatures are expected to drop into the 20s, overnight lows are predicted to dip only as low as the upper 20s and low 30s through Wednesday night.
