CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) - With very little rain so far this month, Massachusetts is beginning to see drought-like conditions. Temperatures have been feeling like summer the past few days and we haven't seen measurable rainfall since October 14th and even that wasn't much of anything with .32 inches of rain.

The average rainfall for October is 3.6 inches.  Elevated fire concerns issued for western Massachusetts September and October combined have only accumulated 1.32 inches of rain in nearly a 60-day stretch. Most of western Massachusetts is under abnormally dry conditions while northern Berkshire County and western Franklin County are under a moderate drought.  Looking ahead to November, NOAA is predicting an above-average month when it comes to temperatures with near-normal or slightly below-normal precipitation. There isn't any significant rainfall in sight for at least the next 7 days.  7 Day Forecast Local News Headlines Longtime State Representative Susan Williams Gifford passes away Students celebrate STEM Week at Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield Drought conditions this fall in Massachusetts PrimoHoagies set to open its first Massachusetts location WWLP-22News, an NBC affiliate, began broadcasting in March 1953 to provide local news, network, syndicated, and local programming to western Massachusetts.
