Winter Weather Advisory Extension for Northern Berkshire County

The Winter Weather Advisory that was supposed to end at 7 AM has been extended to noon on Wednesday for Northern Berkshire County. Those of you begging for some kind of school-shortening decision tomorrow morning just got a big boost. The chance for a delay has increased not insignificantly for the top half of the County.

This extension is actually more of a new Advisory. With the passage of the cold front through our area and enough moisture in the air, the winds will cause upslope snow. The prediction is for 2-5 new inches overnight.

Delays for Northern Berkshire are indeed possible tomorrow.

Something else to factor in tomorrow--we will have a Wind Advisory in effect from 7 AM to 7 PM. Winds could gust as high as 50 mph as the cold air moves in and settles around 20 degrees for a high tomorrow. Winter is here to stay.

Predicting upslope snow is like hitting a moving target, but folks in higher elevations will see a few more inches of snow tonight. Schools north of Pittsfield will have a better chance for delays due to the black ice, snow, and wind potential.

We'll run a list starting around 6 AM if there are delays tomorrow. And full snow days seem highly unlikely.
