Second Storm Brings Snow to Region Over Monday Night| 02:52PM / Monday, December 16, 2019 | |
A winter weather advisory will be in effect from 1 a.m. Tuesday through 1 a.m. Wednesday as yet another snowstorm bears down on the Berkshires.
Depending on which forecast you look at, we're in for anywhere from 4 to 6 inches or up to 12 inches. The snow is expected to begin late Monday tonight or in the wee hours of Tuesday morning making for slippery and snowy roads Tuesday morning.
And right behind the snow is another deep freeze moving as an arctic cold front moves in on Wednesday night. Ugh.
The National Weather Service says snow squalls are possible on Wednesday, as an arctic cold front crosses the region. Behind the front, bitter cold temperatures will occur through the end of the work week. Wind chill advisories may be needed for parts of the area Wednesday night into Thursday, especially for the higher terrain.
Tuesday morning's storm is the second of two systems moving across the Midwest; the first brought rain and warmer temperatures on Saturday and the second is bringing snow and ice for midweek.
A narrow band of snow heavier snowfall will blanket an area through central New York State and across Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire into Maine. Southern New England, and parts of South County, could see more icy rain than snow.
"There is likely to be a narrow swath of 6- to 12-inch snowfall totals in the Northeast as well, but confidence remains low on exactly where that stripe will occur," said AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Rob Miller. "It does seem increasingly likely it will be from around the New York/Pennsylvania border northeastward through the Berkshires and Green and White Mountains."
