It was a dark morning in the Capital City and ...

PROVIDENCE – It’s dark, dark, dark this morning.

The shortest day of the year, today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of 52.

With sunrise at 7:09 a.m. today and sunset at 4:17 p.m., we have just 9 hours and eight minutes of daylight today.

The winter solstice starts at 7:22 p.m. when the sun will be over the Tropic of Capricorn.

There’s a small craft advisory for the region’s waters through this evening, with west winds today expected to be 20 to 25 knots, with a few gusts near 35 knots. Seas should be 4 to 7 feet.

Through the weekend, expect rain Friday night and through Saturday. Sunday should be partly cloudy, with a high around 50. Christmas Day is now predicted to be mostly sunny with a high of 48.

Correction: No snow this weekend, as we said earlier. Just rain. We wrote the wrong word after checking to see if there might be a white Christmas. There won't be.
