Good morning everyone, Attached is an update on the threat of heavy rain and potential flooding for late today into Thursday morning. We continue to expect widespread 2-3" of rainfall with a swath of up to 4" possible. These rainfall totals may result in minor to moderate river flooding as well as urban and poor drainage flooding. *There have been no significant changes to the forecast since the last briefing. * In the ensemble river forecast graphics attached, here are the trends since the last update: Pawtuxet River at Cranston, RI: Median flood forecast (blue) has trended *higher** Wood River at Hope Valley, RI: Median flood forecast (blue) has trended *higher** **These probabilistic hydrographs show the range of possible outcomes. If the higher rainfall totals materialize, the higher river level probabilities will be realized. Conversely, if less rainfall occurs, the lower river level probabilities will likely be verified.* If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
