Snow showers and isolated snow squalls are possible tonight. If the snow squalls become more likely, then special weather statements will be issued. Snowfall is expected to amount to about 1 to 3 inches. However, there is a chance for locally higher totals. If this becomes more likely, a Winter Weather Advisory could possible be needed across the area. In addition, any wet surfaces may refreeze by late tonight as much colder air works into the region, which could allow for locally slick road conditions as well. The combination of very cold temperatures and winds may be enough for dangerously low wind chill values Friday night into early Saturday for the Berkshires and southern Green Mountains. A Wind Chill Advisory may be needed if wind chill criteria is met. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday. A widespread moderate snowfall is expected Sunday through early Monday morning. Winter weather headlines may be issued later in time. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Please report snowfall to the National Weather Service. $$
