Delays Possible For Monday, March 11

Happy weekend, Flake Followers!

An historically lame winter is coming to a close with only a few more opportunities to report on the chance for snow. But one of those chances is upon us tonight and Sunday night.

The snow this weekend--if it occurs--will come in two waves. And both of those waves will impact higher terrain areas first then the valleys.

To our north we are seeing Winter Storm Warnings in effect tonight for the southern Adirondacks and the southern Green Mountains. Winter weather advisories are in effect for surrounding areas but not yet for northern Berkshire County. Those go into effect this evening (Saturday).

Old Man Winter (23-24 edition) still has a pulse but it's feint.

Meteorologists are forecasting snow for elevations above 1500' for Saturday evening and Sunday. High elevation locales in northern Berkshire County could get up to 5". Most of us in the Berkshires will initially see rain with some wet snow mixed in.

As the first line of precipitation moves in Saturday night and early Sunday, we are expecting to see snow develop on the back end as the storm departs and the temps drop and winds pick up. This back-end-of-the-storm snow should come down after midnight on Sunday. Heavy bands of snow are possible, so that means roads could be messy Monday morning.

This is a low probability situation, but there is a chance some schools will see delays to start the week.

The bulk of our staff are traveling again this weekend, but we'll have time to update early morning Sunday or, at the latest, Sunday night.
