It's a stormy week all right.
After this weekend's somewhat underperforming storm--not as many towns in the double digits as we were hoping--we have a lively next 5 or 6 days.
We do have Winter Weather Advisory in effect for Tuesday afternoon (3 PM) until midnight. We are expected to see a period of snow before the changeover to a heavy rain and strong winds. There is a chance that districts will cancel after school activities tomorrow and/or games/performances tomorrow night. It won't be much snow--an inch or less for most--but if you live in a high elevation town you could see up to 5 inches.

The big threat for this next storm will be the wind. We have a High Wind Warning in Berkshire County, with gusts up to 60 mph expected. Typically, we don't get all the way to Warning criteria, so it will be wild out there overnight tomorrow. Power outages are highly likely, so some schools may have to delay or cancel on Wednesday. But with a fairly healthy infrastructure for our area, closings or delays will be the exception rather than the rule.

There is another storm coming in for the weekend. Unfortunately, the cold in air we had in place for this past weekend's storm will not be around for the next one. (There's plenty of cold air, though, in the western states. See #7 in this list.) So, with the forecast for wet snow and rain mixing in, we're not expecting much in the way of snow totals for Saturday.
Let's get through the next two days, and then we'll have more and better information for the weekend event.
Stay safe out there!
