RI Weather: Nor'easter Start, Stop Time; More Details

Here are the latest details for what looks to be a formidable non-snow nor'easter.

Saturday will be end-to-end rain as the nor'easter dumps what forecasters are now saying is up to 3 inches of rain in parts of Rhode Island. The National Weather Service released start/stop times for the precipitation, expected to be exclusively rain due to milder temperatures. Some higher terrain in Massachusetts could see snow.

The rain will be falling when most of us wake up. The NWS said it'll start around 4 a.m. It will probably end while you're sleeping, too, tapering off after midnight.

The World Series has moved to Los Angeles for Games 3, 4, and, if necessary, 5, which run Friday-Sunday, so the Red Sox aren't in danger of getting rained out.

The coastal winds are going to be intense, whipping around at up to 50-60 miles per hour. People farther inland can expect winds of up to 35-40 mph. There's a storm warning beyond the south coast, and other weather watches and warning could follow in advance of the storm. Power outages are possible.
