Winter Storm Watch for Monday Night and Tuesday (Feb. 27-28)

One of the earlier items on the "Are We Going To Get a Snow Day?" checklist is the Winter Storm Watch. And as of early Sunday morning, we can put a big check next to that one.

The Watch is for all of Berkshire County and starts at 4 PM Monday and ends at 10 PM on Tuesday. In terms of timing and duration for a storm, you can't get much better. That is, of course, if you want a snow day for Tuesday.

The models are still in a tussle about the amount of precipitation and track of the main snow-producing low pressure system. The Euro is still lower on snow totals and pushes the storm further south and east. The North American is showing the more favorable northerly track for the storm.

Either way it goes, we are looking at 3-4" for everyone in the County. If the North American model comes through, then we'll have many locations reporting in with 6+ inches.

And if this storm doesn't pan out, we could see another blast of moderate or heavy snow on Friday. Snow days and early releases are possible for the Friday storm.
