TONIGHT
Clouds will thicken through the night with the chance for rain showers possible toward dawn. Overnight lows will be in the 30s.
TOMORROW
Rain. That's it. Rain all day. Rain when the turkeys are going in the oven; rain for the high school football games; rain during Thanksgiving dinner and rain into the evening. That rain could end as a few wet snow flakes in northwest Rhode Island. Winds could gust to 25mph from the northeast through the day.
We're expecting 0.5 to 1.0" of rain, but some isolated higher amounts are possible. We're slowly chipping away at the drought situation.
LOOKING AHEAD
Watch for black ice Friday morning as temperatures drop to near or below freezing. It'll be drier for Black Friday, but chilly. Highs will be in the mid to upper 40s.
