RI Weather Today, Sun, Nov. 17, 2019

The interaction of high pressure anchored over central New England with a tightly wound coastal low pressure system rolling this way off the Hatteras shore will generate substantial northeasterly winds upwards of 30 mph through the day and rain beginning after 7pm. There will be pockets of moderate rain embedded in the precip shield, particularly after midnight leading to some local street flooding given leaf-clogged drains. It’ll be a bit warmer but with higher dewpoints giving the air a raw feel as the rains approach from the south. Morning low in the low 20’s and afternoon highs in the low to mid 40’s.
