罗德岛与马萨诸塞州东南部洪水观察延至周六上午：再降2至3英寸雨
美国国家气象局波士顿/诺顿办公室发布的洪水观察持续生效至周六（11月7日）上午，范围涵盖罗德岛州全州，以及马萨诸塞州东南部的巴恩斯特布尔、杜克斯、普利茅斯与布里斯托尔等地，普罗维登斯、福尔里弗、新贝德福德、布罗克顿、汤顿与纽波特等城市都在观察范围内。气象局周六凌晨的分区预报显示，南部布里斯托尔一带的洪水观察有效至上午10时。
气象局表示，周五至周六上午的时段内，上述地区还可能再降2至3英寸雨，局地出现更高雨量的概率低于三成。过量径流可能造成河流、溪流与低洼地带积水，排水不畅的城区路段也可能被淹；落叶与杂物堵塞雨水口会进一步加重内涝风险。
周六当地以晨间阵雨为主，最高气温在华氏65度上下，降雨随后减弱；周日转为多云到晴，最高气温约60度。气象局提醒观察范围内的居民留意后续预报与可能发布的洪水警报，居住在易涝地区的居民应做好应对准备，开车切勿驶入被水淹没的路段。（来源：美国国家气象局）
Flood Watch for Rhode Island and Southeast Massachusetts Through Saturday Morning: 2 to 3 More Inches of Rain
A Flood Watch issued by the National Weather Service office in Boston/Norton remains in effect through Saturday morning, November 7, covering all of Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts, including Barnstable, Dukes, Plymouth and Bristol areas, with Providence, Fall River, New Bedford, Brockton, Taunton and Newport among the cities included. The Weather Service's early Saturday zone forecast keeps the Flood Watch in place for Southern Bristol until 10 a.m. EST.
Forecasters say periods of heavy rain through Saturday morning may bring an additional 2 to 3 inches of rainfall across Rhode Island and southeast Massachusetts, with a low risk, less than 30 percent, of isolated higher amounts. Excessive runoff may flood rivers, creeks, streams and other low-lying locations, flooding may occur in poor-drainage and urban areas, and storm drains and ditches may become clogged with debris.
Showers are expected mainly on Saturday morning with highs in the mid 60s before the rain tapers off, turning mostly sunny on Sunday with highs around 60. Residents in the watch area should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings, and those living in flood-prone areas should be prepared to act if flooding develops.
