This Week's Winter Weather (Jan. 24-30)

Just a heads up for the Flake Faithful out there that we could see a dusting of snow in Berkshire County this evening (Sunday), and maybe even a whole half an inch in South County. There's some moisture moving in from the west, with much of it evaporating before it reaching the ground, but some could break through and coat the roads.

We have a similar chance for a light snow tomorrow night as well. Unfortunately, neither of these light events will impact the start time for school Monday and Tuesday.

But what could impact the start time of school on Thursday is a deep freeze. We're seeing forecasts for temps in the -10 to -15 range for Thursday morning. That certainly classifies as "extreme cold" and could lead to some delays.

Finally, the big storm for the weekend is, as predicted, beginning to slide out to sea. It could have been a monster storm for eastern New England (24-30 inches), but the models continue to shift its track south and west of Cape Cod.

After this week we're seeing signs of shift to slightly warmer daily highs (mid-30s). That's not the direction we want to see winter heading in at this point in the proceedings.

It's pretty sad that in late January our hope for just a measly delay rides on really cold temps. But that's winter 2021-22 for you.


Not good!
