Monday Night Mess

We have an up-and-down week ahead of us. We'll start with snow in the early afternoon on Monday, and the precipitation will continue to until at least midnight. Midweek temps will spike to record highs, and the end of the week will bring more normal winter temps and weather.

Tomorrow, we'll likely see a Winter Weather Advisory at some point, as we are expected to see the snow change to sleet and freezing rain by 9 pm. The sleet and freezing rain will affect the southern Berkshires first, and the entire County will see sleet by the time this small storm ends. The time frame from this storm is approximately noon to midnight.

We won't see school affected by this little fella, but there's a chance after school activities on Monday could be postponed as well as any games/meetings/performances in the evening hours.

On Wednesday--and we're quite disturbed by this development--we may see record warmth. Highs will be in the mid 50s. Fortunately, it won't last for long. Temps will moderate toward the end of the week with the arrival of a cold front, and at this point we still have our eye on a storm that will start out as rain and change over to snow. The timing of this storm will determine if it affects the length of the school day. Right now we think the timing is going to be favorable.

Bone-chilling cold says, "I'll be back."

Be prepared for messy roads tomorrow afternoon and night. We're still waiting for the next "big one"--we know it's out there somewhere.
