It's officially Spring, so of course we have to report the chance for shovel-able snow Friday night into Saturday.
It's been a very wintry start to Spring, which began early than normal this year (the 19th) due to Leap Day. It's been cold, snowy, and blustery all week. This week alone we picked up over 2" of snow from three different minor events, including the thundery snow squall Wednesday night. But we are still way, way below average for this winter. And as many students know too well, many districts have not enjoyed even one snow day this winter.
Time is just about expired on Winter 2023-24, but a few more inches of snow are possible Friday night. There is A LOT of moisture with this storm. Many in the Berkshires will see over an inch of liquid precipitation by the time it stops late Saturday night. Unfortunately, it will begin as snow and then shift over to mixed precipitation for a short period and then all rain for most of the day on Saturday.

High terrain areas will get more snow. Valley areas might see wet flakes with some accumulation on grassy areas. Snow should start to fall after midnight (Friday). It could changeover to rain at 5 AM; it could changeover at 11 AM. Either way, Saturday is going to be a washout with rain and temps rising through the 30s throughout the day--a perfect day for indoor activities.
Fortunately, Sunday looks clear but cold and windy again (like Thursday). We probably won't see a Wind Advisory, but it will feel downright raw when you head outside on Sunday.
Temps are trending upward for next week. We should see 50 degrees on Monday and Tuesday with a chance for rain on Wednesday.
