Periods of heavy rain today and tonight may result in rainfall totals of 2-4 inches across RI & southeast MA, with isolated amounts of 5 to 6 inches possible. This may result in poor drainage/urban flooding. Less rainfall is expected across CT into northern MA. #RIwx #MAwx #CTwx

Heavy rain is expected as a system moves east across the region through Saturday. 2-4" of rain is possible in SE MA, RI, and CT which could lead to flash, urban, and small stream flooding. Locally higher amounts are possible which give a small chance for river flooding.
ALT Image on the right shows 72-hour precipitation forecast for the Northeast. 2-4" are expected along the southeastern coast and through coastal Maine. Southeastern Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut are highlighted for the potential for higher amounts.
Good Thursday morning! Our great weather pattern is coming to an end! Take the umbrella for some showers midday-this afternoon. A bit windy and turning more humid with highs in the 60s to around 70. Heavier rain tomorrow! Join us on @WTNH & have a good day!
