AN ISOLATED SHOWER POSSIBLE THIS LATE AFTERNOON… A FEW SHOWERS OR A THUNDERSTORM POSSIBLE MONDAY AFTERNOON… TUESDAY IS THE WEEKLY PICK AND QUITE WARM… WEDNESDAY EVENING INTO THURSDAY BRINGS MORE SUBSTANTIAL RAIN AND ANOTHER (MUCH LESS SUBSTANTIAL) CHANCE FOR HIGH TERRAIN SNOW LATE AT NIGHT, WITH A FEW BERKSHIRE SNOW SHOWERS ON THURSDAY… NEXT SHOT OF RAIN IS THE END OF NEXT WEEKEND… 9:05AM SUNDAY

Good morning folks, The Meltening continues in earnest today, and most of the snow should be gone by the end of the day, with perhaps a few folks who got 10″+ seeing a few piles of white here and there into tomorrow.

For today, we’re still under the cyclonic remnant flow of our recent wintry storm, and so we’ll see a mix of clouds and sunshine today, with a few isolated showers possible late in the day into the early evening.

Highs will reach into the mid 50s to low 60s as snow continues to melt where it piled up Thursday night into Friday.

For tonight, we’ll see mostly cloudy skies as our decayed low continues to pull away slowly from our region. Temps will bottom out in the mid to upper 30s.

For Monday, we’ll continue The Mildening, with highs jumping into the low to mid 60s with mostly sunny skies to start the day, before another disturbance dives southeast through our region in the afternoon and evening, bringing more clouds, a few showers, and possibly a thunderstorm as it works through. Lows will be in the low 40s.

Tuesday is the pick of the week, partially due to how warm it’s expected to get. High pressure will build into the region, producing mostly sunny skies, light winds, and highs well into the 60s with a few folks hitting the 70º mark. Lows will again bottom out in the low 40s, and clouds will be increasing.

By Wednesday a surface low will be whipping around the southern flank of another upper level system near the Great Lakes, and will likely run just north of western MA Wednesday evening.

Highs will reach the upper 50s to mid 60s, and then fall rapidly as the day wears on, into the night.

Rain and possibly a few thunderstorms arrive in the afternoon as the storm approaches with its trailing cold frontal boundary draped to the south of the low center.

As that drags through Wednesday night, temps will drop into the low to mid 30s, and rain may flip to snow in the Berkshires before ending late at night, and we can’t rule out some coatings to an inch or so in SVT, the western hilltowns and the Berkshires/Litchfields/Taconics.

For Thursday, we’re in a northwest flow behind the storm, and it looks blustery with highs only in the upper 30s to upper 40s from high terrain to low, and a few lake effect snow/rain showers are possible. Otherwise, skies should be party sunny. Lows should drop to near freezing.

Temps should moderate during the late week period back up into the 50s with fair weather, and another bout of rain is possible late next weekend.

Have a great day!
