Thursday should be sunny with a high of 65 degrees.
SPRINGFIELD – Western Massachusetts is in for a soggy and sloggy Wednesday.
“It’s going to be a cloudy and rain-filled day,” Abc40 / Fox 6 meteorologist Mike Masco said, adding that the rain and showers should linger here until 8 or 9 p.m.
The National Weather Service, meanwhile, citing significant snowmelt in northern New England over the last few days, has issued a flood warning for the Connecticut River in Franklin, Hampshire and Hampden counties.
Flood-prone areas of the Connecticut River in Montague, Northampton and along the Connecticut border could see minor flooding.
In Northampton, the river was running at 111.3 feet at 9 p.m. Tuesday. The river there is expected to hit its floodstage of 112 feet by late Wednesday morning, according to the National Weather Service.
Pleasant weather, however, will return to the region Thursay. “Tomorrow looks great, 65 and sunny,” Masco said.
Friday should be sunny too with slightly cooler temperatures, Masco said. More rain will arrive Saturday night into Sunday, he said.
