RI Weather Forecast: Rain, Thunder Timeline Today
Tuesday may avoid a total washout, but the threat of thunder and some heavy rumbling across the region remains.
It looks like Tuesday will avoid a total washout, but 'hit or miss showers' will move across the region with a possibility for some thunder, the National Weather Service said. While the skies may cooperate more than initially forecast, the temperatures will still be unseasonably chilly.
The rain will be a consistent threat all day, particularly from the late morning to the early evening where it could be pretty heavy. Your evening commute home could see the worst of it, including that aforementioned thunder. You can see the timeline below:

[1030 am] enjoy the morning sunshine as clouds and scattered showers racing eastward from New York State and western #MA. Showers will be of short duration and NOT expecting any heavy downpours. Thus a washout is not expected. #RI #CT #Boston #Providence #Hartford #Springfield pic.twitter.com/H51ggCG36G
