Winter's Last Gasps

Hello, Flake Followers! Old Man Winter may have a few more statements (plural) to make before he retires for the season.

A complicated and messy storm will impact our region Thursday and Friday and even Saturday. We'll see mostly rain for the Berkshires on Thursday, but there will be enough cold air in place on Friday to convert the rain to wet snow. We may see as many as 4-5 inches, but more than likely we'll get an inch of slush given how meteorologists have overshot the mark often this winter.

Travel on Friday night could be troublesome if you're out on the town. If the snow does actually intensify, it will fall throughout Friday evening and we'll all wake up on Saturday to a blanket of 2-4 inches of snow (with higher amounts in the higher elevations.)

But that might not be the end of it. You may not be seeing it on your favorite weather app, but we have heard some rumblings about a classic coastal storm Tuesday night into Wednesday. This one has the potential to be moderate and even heavy. Two storm systems will need to come together to make this happen, but don't be surprised to see the weather alarm bells go off this weekend about a sizable midweek storm. Just saying.

We'll be monitoring next week's storm potential throughout the weekend.
