The Weekend Forecast for the Berkshires

The weekend outlook in the Berkshires is a mix of clouds, sun and shower or thunderstorm both Saturday and Sunday.  Sunday is expected to be a bit more humid than Saturday.  The showers will be intermittent in only some areas causing those with a green thumb to continue to not rely on Mother Nature to water plants, grass and gardens.   With the lack of rain this month grass and brush are very dry so take extra caution if you are using you fire pit this weekend.  Keep you fire under control and have a hose or water source nearby.  Below is the latest forecast from AccuWeather, the WUPE Weather partner.
