Eastern Massachusetts wraps up April with a dynamic spring pattern — mild and dry conditions to start, followed by a soaking Saturday, a brisk cooldown Sunday, and a return to sunshine and warmth early next week. A strong frontal system brings widespread rain and a few thunderstorms on Saturday, followed by cooler, drier air and gusty northwest winds on Sunday. The start of May looks bright and pleasant as high pressure builds in, with sunshine and spring warmth dominating Monday through Wednesday. A weak front may introduce a chance of showers by Thursday or Friday, but confidence on exact timing remains low. Overall, it’s a week of changing skies and temperatures —a classic New England spring.

However, this warmth comes with an active weather pattern — expect increasing clouds and gusty south winds ahead of a Sunday night into Monday storm system that will bring heavy rain and strong winds. After the rain clears, a dry and pleasant stretch settles in, with highs climbing into the 60s by midweek. A classic March pattern — fluctuating conditions, but signs of spring are certainly emerging!

Watertown residents should prepare for a classic February weather pattern with plenty of ups and downs.
