A drier, sunnier Saturday is on the way after a windy and snowy Friday in many parts of Massachusetts.
Scattered snow showers are expected to last through the afternoon and end by the early evening, the National Weather Service said. No impacts to travel are expected.
While most of the state should only see “very light amounts” of snow, NWS said parts of Western Massachusetts could see up to 2-5 inches of snow by the end of Friday.
As a result, a Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for the northern part of the Berkshires until 10 p.m.
The advisory applies to Eagle Bridge, North Adams, Pittsfield, Dalton, Stephentown, Hancock, Berlin, Hoosick Falls and Florida. The chance of precipitation is 60% in most of these communities.
As the snow fades away, NWS said “it will still be breezy and rather cold” Friday night.
Temperatures are expected to drop into the high 20s to low 30s across the state while gusty winds continue. However, these winds will not be as strong as they were during the day.
Forecasters expect wind gusts to drop from up to 40 mph to 30 mph. These gusts will bring wind chills into the teens to 20s overnight as well.
Saturday will continue to be cold, but not as windy as Friday, with temperature highs in the upper 30s to low 40s.
Temperatures will warm up on Sunday before dropping again by Monday. Sunday could also see some wet weather before another chance of snow returns on Tuesday, NWS said.
