Bleak week: More rain likely, flood warning on

PROVIDENCE – Haven’t we had enough rain already?

There’s a 40 percent chance of more rain on this mostly cloudy day, and a flood warning has been extended until this evening for the Pawtuxet River in Cranston. With the river already at 9.2 feet by 5 a.m. today and expected to rise to nearly 9.4 feet, minor flooding has already occurred in the area, according to the National Weather Service. Flood stage for the river is 9 feet.

So even if you have had enough rain, just wishing apparently isn’t the right formula to make it go away. The rain appears to be here to stay. And we’re sorry to say that the rest of the week’s forecast doesn’t look particularly sunny.

The high today should be around 75.
