Winter Storm Watch For Saturday & Saturday Night

NWS Albany has issued a Winter Storm Watch starting on Saturday at 1 PM. The Watch will last until 7 AM on Sunday. The GSD Staff expects the Watch will be upgraded to a Warning very late tonight once we get within 12 hours of the onset of snow.

The onset of snow. Right now it looks like Berkshire County will see the first flakes with this storm around 3 PM. Because this storm will a quick hitter, expect some snowfall rates of 1 inch per hour after dark. Travel after 6 PM will likely be difficult so get your provisions, put a movie or two on your watch list, and enjoy a winter night in.

The storm should wrap up by 2 or 3 AM so you'll have to check in with church or the local hockey rink to see if your service or game/practice is still on for Sunday morning. The rest of Sunday will be a blustery but warmer day (mid-30s) with leftover snow showers throughout the day. The storm will "bomb out" off the coast of Maine and deliver a blizzard to Newfoundland on Sunday.

As for future storms, we are already hearing some chatter about a bigger weekend storm for the 25th and 26th. Stay tuned.
