This just in from the bizarro weather world of 2021: parts of Hawaii have been issued a blizzard warning with over a foot of snow expected in addition to near 100 mph winds.
Over here in the Berkshires, we might just see some measurable snow in the middle of the upcoming week.
But first, a few flakes may fly on Saturday night. A clipper system will track well to our north, but residual precipitation could pop-up in the aftermath. Some higher elevations could pick up an inch, and the rest of us valley dwellers will see a dusting or, at the most, half an inch.
The big Monday storm we had been hoping for will be a rain and wind storm, with emphasis on the wind. On Monday we'll see gusts potentially approaching 50 mph. That's something worth keeping an eye on.
About a week and a half ago we did mention a long-range model projection for a bigger storm the week of December 6. Well, that model may have actually gotten one right as the Euro and North American computers are both in agreement about a moderate snow event for Wednesday. Three to five inches are likely. Of course a lot can change in the next few days, but the conditions seem ripe for a decent snowfall. The timing, however, does not look great for snow days, but we're going to monitor it 'round the clock for any changes.
Except for the chance for snow on Saturday night, the weekend should be dry and seasonably cool (mid and high 30s). Conditions will be prime for tree procuring and outdoor decoration hanging. Enjoy.
