getting into northwestern Rhode Island might even tickle southern Worcester County.

a lot of Worcester County, especially the central part of it,
with a break in the precipitation, so just some drizzle there.

York State, and then down toward Connecticut, and off toward
the Cape and Islands, and right along the coast up
(04:09):
