It's No White Thanksgiving

The "potential big storm" that had recently been hyped up by various weather and news outlets will arrive Sunday night and last throughout the day on Monday. But, most unfortunately, it will be a rain event.

Moderate and heavy rain is possible on Monday. Once the storm exits Monday night, we could see periods of snow showers on Tuesday with some minor accumulation in the higher elevations. But this storm is a nothing burger, and we'll have to wait until December for a measurable snow event for the entire county.

Once the rain clears out, we'll have chilly day Tuesday--mid 30s--and then we'll low 40s and dry conditions for the rest of the week. Turkey trots, backyard football, and pick-up soccer will all be on for Thursday.

Looking to the long-range forecast for any hints of potential snow storms, we simply do not see anything. The temps should keep us in the ballpark for snow should any storms develop, but the overall pattern is looking calm for a few weeks.

On a brighter note, most of the Berkshires got a squall this afternoon (Friday) to at least remind us of what snow looks and feels like. Expect similar squalls on Tuesday for our area.
