Members of Warren's DPW and National Guard Specialist Matthew Travers, Pawtucket, tshred branches and limbs from trees on Harris Avenue in Warren that were damaged by yesterday's thunderstorms. DPW employees worked until 10 last night clearing the street and were back this morning with 14 members of the National Guard helping them clean up.


The raindrops are falling on projo.com's Webcam again.

And the live radar shows a swath of yellow and orange -- i.e., rain -- crossing the region now.

That's because, the National Weather Service says, tropical moisture ahead of an approaching cold front continues to bring numerous showers and thunderstorms to the region. Some thunderstorms may bring localized heavy downpours of 1 to 3 inches
in one hour. As a result, the threat of flooding still exists.

And that means that a flood watch remains in effect until 2 a.m. tomorrow. It covers:

* portions of northern Connecticut... Massachusetts... southern New Hampshire and Rhode Island... including the following areas... in northern Connecticut... Windham CT. In Massachusetts... central Middlesex MA... eastern Essex MA... eastern Norfolk MA... eastern Plymouth MA... northern Bristol MA... northern Middlesex MA... northern Worcester MA... southeast Middlesex MA... southern Bristol MA... southern Plymouth MA... southern Worcester MA... Suffolk MA... western Essex MA... western Norfolk MA and western Plymouth MA. In southern New Hampshire... eastern Hillsborough NH and western and central Hillsborough NH. In Rhode Island... Bristol RI... eastern Kent RI... Newport RI... northwest Providence RI... southeast Providence RI... Washington RI and western Kent RI.
