• Coastal Flood Watch in effect from April 4, 03:00 AM EDT until April 4, 07:00 AM EDT
• Wind Advisory in effect from April 3, 04:00 PM EDT until April 4, 02:00 PM EDT

At Providence, a deceptively pleasant morning featuring sunny breaks through the overcast will quickly turn unpleasant with a late-season nor’easter, rain likely by 10am and becoming heavy by late afternoon, tapering off Thu morning and ending in the afternoon. Temperatures in the low 40s during the day and high 30s overnight will prevent any possibility of snow or sleet.

Chance of rain will continue 30%–50% through Sat night. By Sun–Mon, the chance of rain will be near zero, with cloud cover during the Mon afternoon solar eclipse 10%–25%.
