Delays Possible Thursday

Before the bigger storm hits the Berkshires on Saturday, don't sleep on this sneaky Thursday morning system.

The bulk of the snow Wednesday night into Thursday will fall to our north, but there is a chance that a perfectly timed inch or so of snow could gum up the works for commuters on Thursday morning. We would imagine most road crews will be able to handle the snow, but the ride to school on Thursday could be slow. Perhaps a few districts will not risk it and go with a delay, but will be more exception than rule.

Small chance for a delay on Thursday. NWS Albany.
After a very cold Friday--high in the mid-teens and lows in the single digits--we'll need to brace for a weekend storm. Right now the timing looks to be Saturday afternoon and evening, mostly. Both the Euro and the US model are in near agreement and showing 6-8 inches for northern Berkshire County and slightly lower amounts southward.

The Euro model prediction for this weekend.
The storm does look like it will eventually develop into a coastal storm once it passes us, but it will be too much into the Gulf of Maine to bring us much additional snow.
