AGAWAM, Mass. (WWLP) – We’ve had a pretty wet spring, and that might have kept you from getting out and doing those outdoor projects. Of course, the weather needs to cooperate, but when it does, there are a lot of things you can be doing now. June starts this weekend, and warmer weather will be setting in soon. It’s the time of year when people like to get outside and tackle tasks around the yard and house.

CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – More rain fell across western Massachusetts Wednesday night and Thursday morning, something we’ve seen quite a bit of this spring. The rain might not be welcome for outdoor activities, but it has eliminated the drought we had been dealing with for quite a while. Last fall, severe drought conditions led to brush fires all across western Massachusetts. Fortunately, this spring, a change in the weather pattern brought us rain, and it keeps on coming.

CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – Despite all the rain we’ve been getting, and with more on the way, we haven’t had too many issues with flooding. Spring flooding is pretty common along the Connecticut River, but we’re almost into summer now, and rivers have been running fairly high. Early this month, all the rain we picked up caused area rivers like the Connecticut River to rise. There was some minor flooding in some low-lying areas, but for the most part, the river has remained within its banks.
