July 4th Berkshires Weekend Forecast
It’s not only a great weekend for vacationers and weekend warriors, it’s also an important weekend for businesses in the area, especially vacation destinations like the Berkshires and Cape Town. . While companies are still struggling to make up for the losses caused by the pandemic last year, a beautiful sunny weekend would have started well this summer.
Unable to control the weather, we will have to do our best with the hand given to us and hopefully have enough sun after a very wet week to save our July 4th weekend plans. The National Weather Service calls for mostly cloudy conditions with showers, thunderstorms on Saturday, more the same Sunday on the 4th, but with some sunshine in the forecast. Monday will be the choice of the long weekend with sunshine and a peak in the 70s.
We all know the weather in New England is unpredictable. Let’s keep the faith for more sun than rain and all the best for local establishments statewide for a busy, profitable weekend. The full long-term NWS forecast is below.
