More rain on the way Thursday

A slow-moving cold front is approaching the area and will bring steady, moderate rain all day Thursday.

Right now the front looks to push the heaviest rain slightly east of the greater Providence-New Bedford area, meaning the Cape could be the hotspot for a change.

While we may miss out on the worst of the rain, another 1-2″ is expected tomorrow. A FLOOD WATCH has been issued through 6am Friday.

This will add to our already record rain surplus (10″) through the end of March. It will also throw our rivers back into minor flood stage.

Rain tapers off Friday morning, with maybe a nice sunset. Mostly sunny skies are expected Easter Weekend, with seasonable highs in the low-50s – but it will once again turn blustery.
