Today looking a lot like yesterday
Tracking Tropical Storm Bret
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) —
Today is looking a lot like yesterday. Increasing clouds, a chance of a spot shower or two in the afternoon, clearing as we head into the overnight. Overall, not a bad day.
Wednesday is shaping up to be a nice day as well. Thursday starts off good, but now models are suggesting we have scattered rain showers creeping into the area overnight and those will linger through Sunday unfortunately.

We have Tropical Storm Bret cruising west through the Atlantic at about 17mph. It is expected to intensify as it moves across the Lesser Antilles nearing hurricane intensity Thursday and Friday. The projected track is still uncertain, but the Virgin Island and Puerto Rico as in the path.
