One more chill night ahead of us before temperatures moderate into the weekend. The Red Flag Warning for a critical brush fire risk returns tomorrow as winds pick back up, and it will likely be breezy through the weekend and into next week. With the full moon on Friday, morning high tides will be elevated. There could be some very minor coastal flooding at the shore. After incredibly getting missed by not one but two storm systems, our next chance of rain will be Thursday into Friday of next week. Bad news for our wildfire potential, and for the drought! Speaking of which, the new drought monitor was issued today. No surprising news, a worsening situation across New England. 8% of RI has now entered a severe drought and 88% is in a moderate drought. 20% of Bristol Co. (MA) is in a severe drought and 39% is in a moderate drought. As a whole, 2/3 of Massachusetts is under a severe drought. Categories: News, Weather Forecast
