Winter Weather Advisory for Northern Berkshire

The NWS has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Northern Berkshire only starting at 3 AM tomorrow, which calls for 2-4 inches of snow.

The timing of our storm just improved slightly. Forecasters are saying that snow will be falling around 5 AM tomorrow. If snow days are going to happen tomorrow, this is critical step one. The earlier the snow starts, the better your chances for an extended vacation.

The GSD Staff is hesitant to forecast County-wide cancellations tomorrow because of the low forecast totals, but we do like the timing better now this morning.

For planning purposes, a second part of the storm could make travel slow tomorrow night for all of you holiday party revelers. Ice is in the forecast for Berkshire County, with more expected to the north. We could see a prolonged period of light sleet and freezing rain Friday night into the mid-morning hours of Saturday. Eventually, everything changes over to rain before the next cold front and storm move in. We'll have more later about when on Saturday the changeover to rain will occur.
