NWS-Albany has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Berkshire County for Wednesday night and the Thursday commute. This is your reminder that we're not quite out of the woods yet.
The combination of temps around freezing and an incoming rain storm could create icy conditions for the drive to school on Thursday morning. It looks like the east-facing slopes are the areas most likely to pick up more mixed precipitation, but all areas could see .10" of ice.

| NWS Albany for Thursday morning. |
Ice is really unpredictable. There's definitely a chance that superintendents will take the safe route and allow a few more hours for the buses to roll on Thursday morning. This will definitely be a Thursday morning decision once town road crews and bus companies assess the road. We think there will be at least a few districts that go with the delay, especially in eastern hill towns of the Berkshires.
Whether we get ice or all rain, Thursday is shaping up to be a cold (highs in the mid 40s) and wet day. The rain will lighter in the afternoon but then pick again overnight. Outdoor sports in the afternoon on Thursday will not be a lot of fun.
Icing will not be an issue Friday morning as the temps will be too warm.
