For today, it will generally be sunny with broken clouds but no precipitation. A weak disturbance will pass across the region tonight. This will allow for mostly cloudy skies to prevail. The weak nature of the disturbance will not allow for much in the way of precipitation. A southwesterly and mild flow will continue around high pressure on Sunday. Dry weather looks to be the rule and temperatures will inch up over today`s levels, with afternoon highs around 40 across the far interior and the mid 40s farther south and east. High pressure over the mid Atlantic will circulate a mild southwest flow into southern New England resulting in above normal temperatures into at least the middle of next week. Mainly dry weather is expected this weekend into Tuesday, then increasing chances for showers on Wednesday and again Friday. === The weather observed at WORCESTER, MA at 07:54 AM EST was: === The skies were partly cloudy.
