Delays Possible Thursday, Jan. 15

There has not been too much movement in the forecast for Thursday. A potential nor'easter is now headed out to sea, so all we're left with is a rain to snow event that starts this afternoon and through the morning commute tomorrow.

The big question mark is when the rain will transition to snow. It's going to be warm today (low 40s), which means it's going to take a while for the temps to get low enough for Snow. If the rain-to-snow transition occurs early enough (between 4 and 5 AM), we could see delays. The snow forecast only ranges from 0.5" to 2" so there's not much to work with, but if the timing is right, conditions will be ripe for a few delays, especially in Northern Berkshire County.

A meager amount of snow is predicted. The timing will need to be perfect for delays.

At this point we're going to go low on the Confidence Meter. North Adams, Hoosac Valley, Mount Greylock, and the mountain elementary schools all have a better chance for delays than students in Pittsfield and southward.

Should developments warrant it, we'll communicate any new information later this evening.
