Winter Weather Advisory for Saturday

A wide array of types of weather is currently bombarding and will bombard Berkshire County today and tomorrow.

Flash Flood Warnings have been declared for our area due to the heavy rain and melting snow. This Warning will expire at 4:45 this afternoon. Watch for streams and rivers that are close to roads.

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect starting late tonight and lasting through the day tomorrow. The temperature will sink like a stone and make for a messy period of travel in the morning tomorrow. Roads will ice over, and any lingering rain showers will turn to sleet and snow. You should see this switchover between 5 AM and 10 AM tomorrow. As long as road crews are out ahead of this period of the storm, travel should be slow but fine.

Some of the signs we need to see ahead of a snowstorm are beginning to materialize for a midweek snowstorm. Again, the North American model gives us a stronger storm; the Euro's forecast model is less strong but still calls for widespread snow for our area. Right now the range could be 1-2 at the worst and 6-8 at best. This potential storm is trending in the right direction as of now.

Accuweather thinks we'll see snow next week.
Be careful on the roads tonight and tomorrow morning. And all hands are on deck monitoring the midweek snowstorm potential.
