Welcome: Good morning. I went to bed so early last night, that I woke up so early this morning. I feel quite refreshed. It seems like all 80s for the week ahead. The heat index is a calculation of temperature and humidity. On days when the heat index is high, it warrants the National Weather Service to issue a Heat Advisory or Excessive Heat Warning. We might see some Heat Advisories this week. Please drink plenty of fluids, stay cool, and even if possible, stay air conditioned. The higher the humidity the harder it is for your body to cool down. One final note, there will be no Berkshire Weather post tomorrow...

Welcome: Good afternoon. We had a marvelous time yesterday. My family enjoyed driving around and seeing the fireworks. There were many official and unofficial displays of them. My favorite part was the smoke clouds they were forming, I found them to be quite interesting. My dad pointed out the smoke clouds were staying for longer likely due to the calm winds.

Welcome: Good morning. I made this post late last night, as I expected to sleep in late today. This is why it will be a short post. It will include only today's forecast.

Independence Day: I hope you all have a spectacular celebration today. I might not be the wisest, as I'm only 16, but I want to share some words with you all. As a nation we are so divided. Today please put aside your anger, worry, and stress. Our country turns 248 years old today. It is a true treasure that is priceless.

Welcome: Good afternoon. My dad and I went to see Jason Mraz perform with the Boston Pops last night at Tanglewood. The performance was spectacular. They synchronized so well.

Welcome: Good afternoon. Out on a walk yesterday I saw a very young rabbit. It looked very small and possibly was a baby. I enjoy seeing rabbits, frogs, lightning bugs, and the occasional deer. While driving yesterday, my dad saw a bear. He also saw a fox carrying a squirrel or chipmunk in its mouth. The animals are out now. I wonder what they think of the weather. They probably just carry on with their day...

Welcome: Good afternoon. Welcome July, it's nice to see you again. While my dad and I were in the car yesterday, it began raining so heavily. Our visibility became impaired. The road was covered in water. On the sides of the road, it seemed almost like a stream. A few twigs came down. It was not scary, it was incredible. Do not go into dangerous weather if you can avoid it. From a safe distance it is a fascinating spectacle to see the extreme of our nature...

Welcome: Good morning. Today could be a busy day for the weather. Severe thunderstorms will be possible. No matter the strength of a thunderstorm, all are dangerous. Lightning can kill, so please do not go outside if you hear thunder or see lightning. Our plants are growing well. My dad has been taking good care of the tomato plant. We have a garden in the front and a small section in the back. However, our biggest frustration are the deer and birds that enjoy eating them. Thank you dad for all that you do for me and for the family. You are my inspiration to help the world...

Welcome: Good morning. Being a weather forecaster is much like being a goalie is soccer. You either get it correct or you don't. There is a bit more leeway in the weather world, but the feeling is still the same. I try to get my posts as accurate as possible. I look at a variety of sources and use my own knowledge to develop the most likely outcome. I bring this up, because tomorrow some severe thunderstorms will be possible. Severe thunderstorms have always been challenging for me to predict. Usually, it is best to be cautious when forecasting the weather...

Welcome: Good morning. I was reading today that NOAA is predicting a busy hurricane season. According to them, there is an 85% chance for a hurricane season with above normal activity. You must remember that hurricanes are not the only threat in the summer. Tropical storms, tropical depressions, and severe thunderstorms all cause many problems. Extreme heat, drought, and even air quality are also becoming huge factors for our daily lives. However, today should feature none of these hazards. It will be a nice one, enjoy...
