Living up to its proverbial lion-like arrival, March opens with a forecast of fierce, gale-force winds for the Berkshires, southern Vermont and eastern New York from Monday afternoon until midday Tuesday.
The strongest impact from northwest winds 20 to 30 mph, gusting as high as 55 mph, is likely after dark on Monday until early Tuesday, according to a wind advisory from the National Weather Service in Albany, N.Y.
The blustery winds will be caused by the leading edge of much colder Arctic air slicing across the Northeast. Potentially hazardous snow squalls could develop Monday between 6 and 11 p.m., leading to briefly treacherous driving conditions, forecasters cautioned.
