Every forecast across The Ocean State,
highway-clear.

Every New England region shares one system — the same maps, the same live radar, the same climate record. Forty miles across and almost entirely coast: nowhere in Rhode Island is more than about twenty-five miles from salt water, which is why the state so often sits on the rain–snow line while Worcester an hour north is buried. It is also the most hurricane-exposed ground in New England — the bay funnels surge straight at Providence, as it did in 1938 and again with Carol in 1954, and the hurricane barrier at Fox Point exists because of it.
