Providence sets new rainfall record

Providence set a record for rainfall of 1.16 inches today, eclipsing the old record of 1 inch set in 1922, the National Weather Service reports.

It was a week, then, that saw at least two weather records shattered, but not the kind you might expect in January.

On Tuesday, Providence recorded a high of 66 degrees, busting the 62-degree record set in 1930.

And remember just the week before: the high temperature on the night of Jan. 3 was forecast at 8 degrees.
