RI Weather: Rain Moves In Overnight

NARRAGANSETT, RI —Grab the umbrellas and the ponchos. The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather outlook for Rhode Island where rain is expected to arrive during the overnight Sunday. According to the NWS, the rain should stop Sunday morning around 10. But then more rain comes in on Monday afternoon.

Here is the forecast.

DAY ONE...Tonight.

A soaking rain will overspreads the region tonight. There is a low
risk that the rain begins as a brief period of freezing rain at some
locations. Any icing would be light, but it only takes a small
amount of freezing rain to result in hazardous travel. If confidence
in more widespread freezing rain, a Winter Weather Advisory will be
issued.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday.

Two soaking rain events are likely through early next week. Given
river levels are running very high, the potential exists for some
minor river and stream flooding into early next week.

In addition, the Monday into Tuesday morning system may potentially
result in some wet snow accumulations across the interior high
terrain. This remain uncertain, but the highest risk right now
appears to be along the east slopes of the Berkshires and northern
Worcester Hills.
