Snow Threat for Wednesday Morning

Despite the balmy temps today and tomorrow (50 degrees!) and the rain that is turning last week's storm into snow soup, we need to keep an eye on the back end of this rainstorm as it could affect the length of the school day on Wednesday.

The rain will gradually taper and come to an end tomorrow, but as the cold front comes through, a coastal storm will develop that will hit southern New England hard. If the storm tracks slightly to the north, we could see a moderate snowfall from this storm.

The very warm temperatures will not work in our favor, but with the counterclockwise motion of the coastal low pressure, it will suck cold air from the north over us, changing the rain to snow Tuesday night.

Even though the we might not see a long period of snow, the timing of it will be just about perfect. The snow is supposed to start falling after midnight and stop in the late morning hours on Wednesday. Right now we're seeing predictions for 1-4 inches for Berkshire County, with 4 inches down by the Connecticut border and 1"  up by the Vermont border.

This is definitely a sneaky storm that we are very interested in tracking. More to come.
