Well, everything was trending toward the Berkshires getting its first Winter Storm Warning of the season yesterday, but the models jogged the storm to the east today and we were downgraded to a mere Winter Weather Advisory. Fortunately, snow lovers, this storm won't be a total bust.
NWS Albany is forecasting 3-6" for the Berkshires with the bulk of the snow coming Saturday afternoon and into the evening. Higher elevations should get more snow than locations under 1500 feet. As the map below shows, east-facing slopes should see the most snow.

When you wake up tomorrow, it should be raining, and then as we move toward midday, wet snow flakes will mix in before changing over to all snow in the afternoon. The snow could come down heavily for a stretch, which will make for slippery travel.
As the rain changes over to snow, we'll also see the winds start to whip up. It will be quite windy tomorrow evening as the storm pulls away. The precipitation should end well before midnight.
There's no great window tomorrow to get out for a walk, run, and/or tree purchase. If you don't mind wet snow and wind, it might be fun to get outside in the afternoon and throw a few snowballs around and build a snowperson. As long as there's enough of it, the snow will be great packing snow.
After this weekend, it looks dry for a stretch and then we're eyeing another disturbance for next Monday.
