Berkshire County saw a little rain on Wednesday afternoon, dampening plans for "Live on the Lake" concert goers who missed out on seeing the band Critical Mass as the series' 7th show was rained out.

We need rain, as most of you know. Lawns all over the county are dry and burnt, and there is even a mandatory water restriction in place for Pittsfield.

We saw some reprieve with temperatures in the 70s with less humidity over the last week, but the heat is back!
