(Providence, RI) -- Heavy rainfall was producing localized flooding overnight Friday in parts of Southern New England, including northern Rhode Island. The National Weather Service forecast includes rain chances all the way through the Fourth of July. That may be unwelcome news for those who wanted to spend the holiday weekend outdoors, but it will bring an end to a brutal heatwave which helped made last month the second-warmest June in the capital city in the history of the weather service's recording station.
