Friday's Weather Forecast 5/15/26

Added: 2026-05-16

[00:00:01]And now, the 22 News Storm Team Forecast.

[00:00:04]And good morning. We [music] are seeing a good amount of cloud cover out there.

[00:00:07]Time now is 4:45. Light breeze out of the northwest. When you walk outside, you might notice there could be a little patchy fog in some spots. Also, the roads, sidewalks still a little wet from some of that rain we saw yesterday and last night. So, just heads up on that.

[00:00:22]Greenfield, though, looking okay. We got a breeze, nice and calm. Winds will stay light. Temperatures, though, it's a little cool out there. Definitely cooler than yesterday. We're only 45 in Springfield, 46 in Orange, some 40s back in the Berkshires, as well. Going throughout the rest of the day today will be below average with our temperatures, and likely one of the coolest days of the week. We'll see temperatures gradually incline as we go over the next few hours towards the afternoon, but we'll only top out right around 60°. There could even be some spots outside of the valley that might not even get out of the 50s. So, some of the hill towns staying quite cool today.

[00:00:59]And that is the top of the 22 News Storm Team Forecast. Focus on cooler air, partly cloudy. I think that there could be a few isolated braces of sun throughout the day. So, I'm not going to say mostly cloudy, I'll call partly cloudy with a chance for a few showers during the afternoon. Going towards the weekend, though, a completely different story. We're going to stay dry, lots of sun, and very warm. Temperatures into the 80s. Could see some 90° heat heading into next week, especially on Tuesday.

[00:01:24]Here's a better look at the temperatures over the next few days. Again, today we're only in the upper 50s to near 60, but tomorrow, we're going to be around 80°, and a good amount of sun.

[00:01:33]Likely getting into the mid-80s by Sunday, and also for Monday. As I mentioned, we could even touch some low 90s by around Tuesday of next week. So, right now we're nice and dry, and taking a wider view on clouds and radar. You can see a lot of our showers are up to our north, and also back to our west, as our system is kind of rotating away off to the northeast. But, there still could be the chance for a passing shower as we go go the day on the 22 News Storm Team Skycast here. 7:00 a.m. towards 9:00 a.m. notice some clouds just kind of passing on through, but mostly dry. It's not until around noon, here's that chance of maybe a few spotty sprinkles that tried to to to develop. I think the best chance of some of these showers developing would be west of the Connecticut River. You can see they more favored some of the higher terrain in the Berkshires, but either way, everyone is at fair game today for a passing shower. And then we'll gradually clear things out as we go through tonight, setting us up for a really nice day for the day tomorrow. So, for today, temperatures upper 50s and low 60s, that partly cloudy sky and a few passing showers can't be ruled out. Heading through tonight, gradual clearing, temperatures into the 40s. Speaking of the weekend, again looks great, lots of sun for both Saturday and Sunday, and those temperatures into the low to mid 80s. And speaking of Saturday, of course, is the world's largest pancake breakfast. Looks to be nice, good amount of sun, temperatures in the morning in the 50s and 60s, climbing to around 80° for the afternoon. The rest of the 22News Storm Team 7-day forecast here, again temperatures around 85 on Sunday, 86 on Monday. That's right, around low 90s. Got a 91 on there for Tuesday of next week, so it'll be quite warm, also humid. And then temperatures do try to back off as we go through Wednesday and Thursday, back to the 70s, and those nighttime temperatures in some 50s, even a few 60s.
