WEATHER ALERT: Heavy rain, strong winds, and possible "quick freeze" Friday

A bit of a wild day here tomorrow. There's a wind advisory in effect for Hampton, Hampshire, and Franklin County. That goes into effect 4:00 tomorrow morning through 1:00 a.m. on Saturday. There's a high wind warning in effect for Birkshire County. This is a higher level of alert gust to 60 mph. And in fact, this high wind warning is already in effect, although we have not seen any 60 mph wind gust yet. Let's take a look at the future wind gusts with our 22 News Storm Team wind gust forecast. So 4:00 tomorrow morning is when the winds start to pick up around here. Notice some gust of 40 mph uh in the Birkshars as early as 4:00 tomorrow morning and gusts over 25 miles per hour in a few spots at 4 a.m. Strongest wind gusts we're expecting midm morning. So between say 9 and noon are when some of the strongest gusts are going to happen. Look at this. 51 mile per hour wind gust in Springfield at 9:00 tomorrow morning. close to it, North Adams and Orange and 46 mile per hour and 48 mile per hour wind gusts at uh Westfield. So, uh certainly enough wind here to cause some tree limbs to to fall and perhaps in fact it's likely that we have at least some scattered power outages here tomorrow as well. 40 mile per hour wind gusts at noon time and then the wind backs off for a little bit here during the mid afternoon hours and then another surge of colder air comes in and the wind gusts go back up to around 40 mph at least over 25 miles hour for the early to mid evening hours. So be ready for it. Windy day here tomorrow we start with rain. We're going to end with some snow showers. will show you with the 22 Storm Team forecast.
