Berkshires' First Snowstorm Expected Tuesday| 12:58PM / Monday, December 01, 2025 | |
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The first significant snowstorm of the season is expected on Tuesday, with heavy snowfall forecast across Western Massachusetts.
The National Weather Service in Albany, N.Y., has issued a winter storm warning starting at 7 a.m. on Tuesday with nearly a foot of snow forecast to fall through the day. The warning covers the Berkshires, Southern Vermont and parts of eastern New York State.
NWS says the probability for more than 4 inches of snow is high, with the potential of 7 inches or more.
No school closings are reported yet, but our friends at Greylock Snow Day have adjusted their snow-day meter to 75 percent, with a 50 percent chance of early release.
Which superintendent will make the first call of the season?
Hazardous travel is expected particularly during the afternoon because of snow-covered roads and poor visibility.
Moderate to heavy snow will impact the evening commute Tuesday. Snowfall rates between a half-inch and an inch are expected within the warned areas. Caution is advised for all motorists.
WTEN's Storm Tracker has most of the Berkshires and Southern Vermont seeing 5 to 8 inches; snowfall is expected to be ligher and mixed with rain to the south.
There's still a chance the storm could shift slightly, which will affect snow totals. AccuWeather says the speed of the storm could also decrease snow accumulations. The Accuweather team is also forecasting that December will stay "cold and stormy" for the next two weeks.
A thump of snow is incoming to a large portion of New England tomorrow. While not an overly intense storm, it will bring a widespread 4-8 inches and kick off meteorological winter with a bit of a bang. Details: #MAwx #CTwx #RIwx #NHwx #MEwx #VTwx www.newenglandstormcenter.com/post/thump-o...
