Good evening everybody, just a quick bulleted update for your perusal this eve. It was either a good day to take a nap, cook soup, or stare at a screen. I did the ladder, I mean latter.
But enough about me, how about you?
YOUR WEATHER SUMMARY: JUST FOR YOU!
–We have an inversion in place tonight, which will trap low level moisture
–While some westerly flow is incoming, we could see some black ice late tonight from either freezing fog, or freezing drizzle as lows are expected to dip into the mid to upper 20s.
–A few light snow showers are possible in the morning, after which a mostly cloudy day with a few sunny breaks should arrive
–Highs will reach the 35-40 degree range, may be some lower 40s along/south of the Pike
–Clouds build back in tomorrow evening as a warm front approaches, before which temps will drop into the upper 20s to low 30s
–A period of light accumulating snow is possible after sunset, through the the early pre-dawn hours of Monday morning
–We can’t rule out a coating to an inch or two in the Berkshires, western hills, Litchs, and SVT by Monday morning
–Monday is the pick of the week for sure! Mild, mostly sunny, high pressure, highs well into the 40s with lows near freezing
–Tuesday is cloudy, but still mild
–Some showers are possible Tuesday night, but the main potential weather impact next week would be Wednesday night into Friday, with some snow and ice possible with high pressure draining cold air down into our neck of the woods as a storm passes near or to our south
–A second storm may run right over us or pass northwest, bringing rain by Friday, and currently another storm signal exists for next Sunday
A more active pattern appears to be developing, but precip type certainty by mid to late week is low, so stay tuned and I will keep you all updated.
Thanks and have a great night!

[CERTAINTY LEVEL = BUPKIS] FOR THE MIDDLE TO END OF NEXT WEEK, THOUGH IT DOES LOOK INCLEMENT…. BEYOND THAT, UNCERTAINTY IS HIGH… BEFORE THAT TIME PERIOD, WE’VE GOT A FEW LIGHT RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS TODAY, OTHERWISE MOSTLY CLOUDY.. SOME MORE SNOW SHOWERS TOMORROW NIGHT AS A WARM FRONT MOVES THROUGH AND MILDENS US UP FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY… (7am Saturday, 2/1/2020)
Good morning everybody, we’re waking up to a few snow showers in the northern Berkshires and SVT, some patchy fog in other spots, and temps generally in the low to mid 30s from north to south across the WMass region.
Our much-ado-about-nothing coastal storm (at least in other outlets, though not this one) will sweep out to sea and bring stormy conditions to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland this weekend.
After a few snowy periods last night, along with a few scattered showers of rain or snow today, that’s about all she wrote for this coastal system.
A feeble February entrance, to be sure.
For today, highs should reach the mid to upper 30s under mostly cloudy skies with said low snow/rain shower chances. Tonight, lows settle down into the mid to upper 20s with a flurry possible.
For Sunday, high pressure should build into the region, and break up the clouds a bit, at least in the Pioneer Valley. Highs will be in the mid to upper 30s again, with clouds increasing late.
By Sunday night, a warm frontal boundary will be extending east towards New England. This could set off a period of snow showers Sunday night into the pre-dawn hours of Monday morning. A few coatings are possible. Lows will dip into the upper 20s.
By Monday, we hopefully will get some wind through here and change out the air, which hasn’t been moving a whole lot recently.
West winds should gust 20-30mph at times, and temps will warm into the low to mid 40s under partly sunny skies as high pressure works into the region. Lows will again be in the upper 20s.
A weak disturbance arrives for Tuesday, but should be fairly moisture-starved and only result in mostly cloudy skies with highs in the low to mid 40s and lows near the freezing mark.
The Wednesday through Friday period, at this point, appears to feature two disturbances tracking through the region along a stationary boundary over New England.
Exact track, strength, and timing of these systems will play into how much rain, ice or snow we receive, and when, so I will update this mess for you as we get closer.
With the way much of the January pattern has gone, assume more rain than snow until you hear from me otherwise.
That about does it, hope you have a great day!
