* Flood Watch for portions of southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island, including the following areas, in southeastern Massachusetts, Barnstable, Bristol, and Plymouth. In Rhode Island, Bristol, Kent, Newport, Providence, and Washington.
* Periods of rain will be heavy at times tonight into Sunday evening. Rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are anticipated but localized 2.50 to 3 inch amounts are possible. The greatest risk for these higher amounts will be near the south coast. This will bring the potential for pockets of urban and poor drainage
