When will the rain turn to snow in western Mass?

And now, the 22 News Storm Team Forecast. It's a wet afternoon. Here's a look at our live camera network from all across western Massachusetts. And you can see we have the clouds all over from Springfield, Westfield, Chicopee, and Greenfield. And that rain is coming down, mainly some light rain. You can see on our ESP live Doppler radar, it continues to pretty much move from southwest to northeast. And again, some mainly light rain, but a little bit heavier, just starting to move into the Berkshires. So we may see some moderate rain. at times as we head through this afternoon. So cloudy and cool today, temperatures 40s to maybe reaching 50 degrees. Showers and drizzle through this afternoon. Then as we head into tonight, a rain changes over to snow, especially in the hills, the Berkshires, where we do expect some accumulation. And then as we head into tomorrow, rain and snow showers, mainly in the morning. Then things should start to dry out during the afternoon. Only in the low to mid 40s out there right now. It's 44 right now in Springfield. It's gone down. It's actually 45 degrees last hour. 43 in Westfield, 42 in Northampton. Orange at 43. 40s in the Berkshires. It's 45 in Great Barrington, 42 in Pittsfield. So it's cold and it's rainy. Clouds and radar, wider view. And you can see the storm system really getting its act together. So we're starting to see some of the heavier rain. This may actually be picking up on some of the ice or sleet that's in some of the clouds out there. That's why it tends to be brighter and indicates some heavier rain. So that's headed in our direction. We have a lot of cold air in place, and that cold air is really going to start to work on in as we head into tonight, changing that rain over to snow. Show that to you hour by hour with an updated skycast. There we are at 1 o'clock. You can see a skycast is showing a lot of the rain kind of moving to the north. So we may see a little bit of a lull. There'll still be some light showers and drizzle from time to time. But then it fills back in as we head towards the evening hours. There we are at 8 o'clock. Rain is coming down. We're starting to see some pinks and whites indicating that that changeover is taking place, especially from north to south. So western Franklin County, northern Berkshire County. Then you can see it slides far. Farther south, so we're seeing that in Berkshires and the hills that change over to some snow and that will continue to be the case overnight. So all of us, I think, will see at least some snowflakes, but you can see it does kind of fall apart tomorrow morning at 7 a.m. as things kind of wind down and then things will dry out, I think, for the most part as we head through the day tomorrow. Lots of clouds around. It's going to be chilly, high temperatures only in the low to mid 40s. And then Friday night, mostly cloudy skies. It's mainly dry. Can't rule out a passing rain or snow shower into Saturday, but I think Saturdays should be dry, but not much in the way of sunshine. Lots of clouds around, another chilly day with temperatures only in the mid-40s. And then, as we can show you, as far as accumulation goes, tonight into Friday, not expecting much accumulation at all in the valley. You may see a few flakes mixing in, and again, there may be a light coating on some of the grassy surfaces. But for the most part, things should be fine tomorrow morning for the morning commute. You can see up to an inch of snow, Berkshires and the hills, up into a good portion of Franklin County along Route 2. And then the highest elevations in northern Berkshire County, western Franklin, western Hampshire County, one to possibly three inches of snow. Forecast looks like this for this afternoon. Cloudy, showers, drizzle, high temperatures 48 to 52 degrees. For tonight, cloudy. Rain changing over to snow. Overnight lows 28 to 34. 22 new storm. Team seven-day forecast. Rain and snow showers. Mainly Friday morning, 44 degrees. It looks mainly dry for Saturday. Mostly cloudy, though, and chilly, 46. Sun and clouds Sunday, 48. And then sunshine and a little bit milder.
