Good morning! Happy Thursday…aka Friday Eve. We’ll have numerous rain showers around this morning, but we’ll trend drier in the afternoon. We are looking at one more batch of rain before the month comes to an end…that’s late Friday night into Saturday.
This May is now the 4th wettest May on record for the Providence area. With additional rain in the forecast in these last three days of the month, we’ll easily move into 3rd place and possibly make it the 2nd wettest May on record.
