National Weather Service Predicts Light Snow and Slippery Conditions Midweek

It may be messy but less than an inch of snow accumulation is expected.

We almost made it through February without seeing any more snow, but most parts of Rhode Island may see a dusting and some poor road conditions as we head into the middle of this week. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for Rhode Island that will be in effect until 6 p.m. on March 1.  Wednesday's forecast calls for rain and snow likely before 3 p.m., turning to snow later on.
