Latest Forecast Predicting 60% Chance of Snow on Christmas Day in the Berkshires…

With Christmas only days away the National Weather Service has a pretty good gauge on what is in store for the Berkshires for this long-awaited holiday.  In fact, currently, the National Weather Service is calling for a 60% chance of precipitation starting just after midnight on Christmas day.  There is a chance it will turn to rain later in the afternoon as temps rise.

Snow on Christmas day would certainly lend itself to a snow-globe-like fairytale but it would also cause a bit of havoc for families traveling to grandma’s house for Christmas dinner.  While the NWS is predicting snow in the Berkshires heading east on the Mass Pike might get a bit tricky as an icy mix is expected around Springfield and all rain the further east you travel. We will keep you updated on the very latest forecast as the weekend gets closer, but just beware it could be a snowy Christmas day in the Berkshires.
