Finally, we have some wet weather. This is tremendous news for the folks working hard to contain the Butternut Fire in Great Barrington and Sheffield. A good soaking today (Thursday) will certainly help get things under control.
Because of the cool air in place and the low pressure developments associated with this storm, we are expecting to see the first flakes of the season in Berkshire County today and tomorrow. Unfortunately, not everyone will see the white stuff, but those denizens of high elevation towns could see an inch of slushy wet snow.

Because ground temps have been well above freezing, we can't expect to see much accumulation even in the eastern hill towns. But the good news is that the overall pattern seems to be shifting, and we should see more opportunities for much needed rain and snow in the next few weeks.
Other than the few wet flakes we might see tonight and tomorrow, we are looking at the potential for snow next weekend. With even colder air in place in the second half of next week (high 30s/low 40s), we could see a minor snow event Friday evening into Saturday morning of Thanksgiving weekend.
