RI Weather: Another Winter Blast Tuesday

NARRAGANSETT, RI—More snow —and rain — are on the way, according to the National Weather Service.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for northern Connecticut, all of
Massachusetts east of Berkshire County, and Rhode Island.

Monday night into Tuesday...

Moderate, possibly heavy, snow is forecast for some time late Monday
night into into early Tuesday evening. Travel impacts expected, with
