There could be some record-breaking temperatures over the next week with forecasts of 70-degree temps. It was 68 degrees on Main Street in North Adams on Thursday afternoon.

Mini Heatwave Warming Up the Berkshires

Staff ReportsPrint Story | Email Story
After a brief flirtation with winter, the Berkshires will see sunny skies and warming temperatures as a mini heatwave heads our way. 
 
The jet stream will move north to allow a warmer air to flow through the Midwest and Northeast that could mean record high temperatures for this time of the year. 
 
The National Weather Service in Albany, N.Y., describes Thursday as a "fairly quite, albeit atypical November day" with the biggest story being the "heat." Some communities have already reached into the 70s with more expected to follow over the next few days. 
 
"The overall message being a prolonged period of well-above-average temperatures, which has the potential to threaten daily record high temperatures starting this weekend into early next week," according to NWS.
 
Unfortunately, Accuweather says the unseasonable warmth will be ushered out by cooling temperatures and precipitation next week that could be abrupt in some regions. 
 
"After a high of 60 degrees and rain on Monday, Minneapolis could see snowflakes in the air on Tuesday with temperatures failing to reach 40 degrees," according to Accuweather. 
 
Sounds a lot like the Berkshires. But this looming cold front is expected to take its time arriving in New England so the changes in temperatures is expected to be less shocking.

Bread-Baking Appliance Designer Moving to Mass MoCA Campus

By Jack GuerinoiBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art Commission welcomed bread-baking appliance designers Brod & Taylor to the campus on Monday.
 
The commission voted to bring Brod & Taylor to Building 1. Owner Michael Taylor, who called into the remote meeting, said the space will primarily be used for photography and content creation to promote their products, with an overarching philosophy of growing the bread-baking community.
 
"The genesis of the whole business of this company is to really get more people involved in bread baking," Taylor said. "We think it is something that is good for individuals and good for society; the more people that bake bread the better people are off in the world. We are looking for ways to make connections between people and the community based on bread baking."
 
The 1,500-square-foot space was built out for the company and will include a home kitchen and a microbakery.
 
Taylor said the company started in 2010 and operated out of Williamstown, above the Purple Pub.
 
"It was a business that brewed slowly in the teens but since COVID, sourdough bread sort of became the center of the world. We have expanded rapidly," Taylor said, adding that the company employs around 15 employees who work in the area.
 
Two years ago, they moved to the Norad Mill in North Adams but found the space too noisy to accommodate filming and content creation, Taylor said.
