Just a quick check in to let you know the NWS bumped up snow totals slightly for the Berkshires for Saturday. We're stilling looking at a 7 AM Saturday to 7 AM Sunday window for this potentially moderate storm, and right now the models are predicting 3 to 6 inches for the Berkshires. South County has a better chance to reach 6 inches; North County will be closer to 3.
If you're heading east, you should know that we are seeing a Winter Storm Warning for much of central Mass, and the Warning extends as far west as Southbridge and Ware.
As for timing, the snow will fill in from south to north starting in the late morning hours. We're guessing the first flakes will fall on the Mass/Conn border around 10 AM, Pittsfield around 11 AM, and Williamstown near 12 PM. These times are approximate and could be off by an hour either way. The snow should wrap up some time after midnight, but snow showers could persist all the way to daybreak Sunday.
As for next week, the jury is still out about Tuesday's storm. The last few model runs weren't encouraging, but that's what happened 72 hours in front of tomorrow's storm. The GSD Staff thinks we're in a good pattern for a few weeks, so we won't be surprised to see the models improve our snow chances again (for Tuesday) by Sunday night.
