Berkshire County Forecast – Friday Dec. 9

There is no student forecast today so the forecast will be provided by the instructor, Joe Kravitz.

Summary: High pressure will dominate the region this weekend so the weather will be, generally, dry with seasonable temperatures. A weak cold front will move through tonight with the slight chance of a snow shower and, as a result, it will be slightly colder Saturday than Friday. There is also a slight chance of a lake effect snow shower Saturday afternoon as brisk northwest winds blow across the Great Lakes as the high pressure system moves into the Northeast.
