SPRINGFIELD, Mass (WGGB) – A few torrential downpours and storms have been developing across western Mass.

Isolated strong to even severe storms will be popping up throughout the afternoon.  

Although not everyone will be getting wet, any storm that does develop has the capability of producing gusty winds and hail.

Since these storms are slow movers, they also have the potential to cause flash flooding.

In fact, A Flood Advisory remains in effect for parts of Franklin & Hampshire Counties through the rest of the afternoon.

Be sure to head inside if you hear thunder and be sure not to drive through flooded roads.
