Snowy AM Commute on Thursday

We'll cut right to the chase--Thursday is shaping up for many students to have their third two-hour delay in the past 6 school days.

Both the Euro and North American models are more or less in agreement on this storm, with a range of 2.5 inches in South County to 5.5 inches in the north and northeast corner of Berkshire County. The big snow winners will be Florida, Clarksburg, Heath and Rowe, Mass and all the schools in Bennington County.

This map came out Tuesday morning so it probably will be updated later tonight or tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow will be dry--and we shockingly could see the sun--before clouds roll in and then snow arrives after midnight. Most locations will see a changeover to rain by noon by Thursday. One very interesting tidbit we picked up from NWS Albany is the potential for bands of heavy snow between 8 AM and 11 AM just to the north of I-90. If this very precise forecast comes through, we could see snow days for Pittsfield and Central Berkshire and all schools north of those districts. That forecast is far from a certainty, but we're going to keep on eye on it as it will affect the Confidence Meter.

The bottom line is that the timing for this storm is just about perfect.

We don't have a Winter Weather Advisory yet for the Berkshires, but that will likely come in the next twelve hours.
