RI Weather Forecast: Hour-By-Hour Snow Monday Morning

A hazardous weather outlook and winter weather advisory have been issued in parts of Rhode Island in advance of a late-season snowfall expected to hit overnight. The Sunday night forecast calls for slippery roads and tough travel conditions when you wake up Monday, but overall nothing too treacherous.

A winter weather advisory has been issued for the southern half of Rhode Island, where up to 4 inches of snow could fall by Monday morning. A hazardous weather outlook will be in effect for the rest of the state - and for the commuters, the South Coast in Massachusetts is expected to get 3-4 inches as well.

For those worried about the worst-case scenario, it's not so bad. The southernmost portions of Rhode Island would get up to 5 inches.

The National Weather Service said the last significant snow event in April around these parts was two years ago, when Providence got nearly 6 inches of snow on April 6, 2016.

The last inch of snow usually falls in Boston around March 15, on average. The latest the final inch of snow fell in Boston was April May 9, 1977.
