Massachusetts braces for winter weather with snow possible in western regions
Massachusetts is about to get its first taste of winter this season.
Tuesday brings temperatures below normal for mid-November, with highs in the high 30s or low 40s across the state.
Gusting winds will make it feel cooler than the already cold temperatures, with afternoon wind chills in the 20s and 30s creating a “winter feel,” National Weather Service forecasters wrote.
Adding to that winter feel will be snow showers in the Berkshires, with lake-effect moisture lifted along the western slopes. Those showers could spill over to the eastern slopes of the Berkshires, with a coating to an inch of accumulation possible.
Elsewhere, flurries are possible, but little to no accumulation is expected.
Temperatures should moderate on Wednesday, with highs climbing back into the 40s. Forecasters expect a largely cloudy day with some showers over Cape Cod and the Islands. More rain or snow could fall in higher elevations, with the rest of the state likely to stay dry.
The stretch of cooler-than-normal temperatures will continue through Saturday, with the mildest day likely to be Thursday, when temperatures could climb to the 50s.
Looking ahead to Sunday and Monday, a low-pressure system approaching the region from the Great Lakes could bring snow and ice, but Massachusetts is more likely to see rain on Sunday before drier conditions settle in on Monday.

3 WWII veterans from Boston, Massachusetts posthumously awarded Bronze Star Medal
The U.S. Army posthumously awarded three Bronze Star Medals this week to World War II veterans from Charlestown, Massachusetts, honoring their heroism and sacrifice ahead of Veterans Day.
The medals were presented to the families of Joseph Brennan, John Noonan and William Ryan. The three men gave their lives in combat more than 80 years ago. The Bronze Star Medal is one of the nation’s highest awards for heroic service in a combat zone.
For Richard Brennan, receiving the Bronze Star on behalf of his uncle was a deeply emotional moment.
“My great-grandmother is probably very happy today,” he said. “It is huge. We are so proud and thankful of Joe’s sacrifice.”
Joseph Brennan served in the Army’s 80th Division and was killed in action in France in 1944. Richard said the honor helps keep his uncle’s memory alive for future generations.
“For them, it’s family history,” he said, speaking of his children. “They’re always asking me questions.”
Also honored were John Noonan, who was killed during the D-Day invasion at Omaha Beach, and William Ryan, who died while serving with the Army’s 5th Infantry Division.
The ceremony was organized by local historian and veteran Bill Durette, who said Charlestown’s deep sense of patriotism inspires a life of service.
“When you grow up in Charlestown, right where the battle of Bunker Hill took place, you kind of grow up in a red, white and blue neighborhood,” said Durette. “It inspires you to serve.”
The event was a chance for community members to honor the service of those from Charlestown as Veterans Day approaches.
