Small craft advisory and thunderstorms predicted

PROVIDENCE – Boaters, beware of a small craft advisory in effect from 11 a.m. today through evening, for coastal waters from the Merrimack River in Massachusetts to Watch Hill, R.I.

Showers and thunderstorms are also forecast for the region.

A cold front moving in from the Great Lakes region should bring with it an increasingly warm and humid air mass. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop ahead of the cold front, according to the National Weather Service.

The showers and thunderstorms will become more widespread across central and western New England late this afternoon and by evening should hit all of southern New England.

The weather service warns that there is a slight risk that much of southern New England will experience severe thunderstorms today. Heavy rainfall and flooding are possible.

As for temps, expect a high around 84 today and a nighttime low around 68.
