Good afternoon everyone We just wanted to let you know that a Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for Berkshire County in Western Massachusetts as well as Litchfield County in Connecticut through 7 pm this evening. A line of showers and embedded thunderstorms will bring the potential for damaging wind gusts as it enters far western MA and far western CT after 5 or 6 PM. Across the rest of our region, odds favor the line weakening as it moves east supporting mainly 35-45 mph wind gusts along with brief heavy rain. That being said, an isolated severe thunderstorm still can not be ruled out further east. Lastly, isolated tree damage is still possible with sub-severe wind gusts given fully leafed trees. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns! Thank You!
