PROVIDENCE – A coastal storm forecasters have been monitoring looks like it will pass far enough out to sea to have little or no effect on Rhode Island, according to the National Weather Service.
There’s a chance Rhode Island will see snow Thursday but little to no accumulation is expected, the weather service says.
“The main forecast challenge (Thursday) into (Thursday) night revolves around the northwest extent of a snow shield from a distant ocean storm,” the weather service says in its forecast discussion.
The National Weather Service forecasts Southern New England’s weather from Norton, Massachusetts.
Here’s where snow is most likely
Snow will likely just brush the far southeast New England coast, with Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard getting 1 to 3 inches and Nantucket getting 2 to 5, the weather service says.

For Wednesday, the cold weather will continue but with less wind than Monday and Tuesday, the weather service says. Expect a high near 29 in the Providence area. The temperature should drop to about 11 tonight.
