It’s the first day of Spring, but don’t put away your winter coat just yet.  After a brutal January and February, more snow is predicted today. National Weather Service meteorologist William Babcock said it’s expected to start late this afternoon.

“It could become a factor for the evening commute for parts of the state.  Possibly Providence, better shot in spots like Newport and Westerly,” said Babcock.

The Weather Service predicts one-to-three inches across Rhode Island.   Temperatures will remain unseasonably cold through the weekend, hovering in the twenties and thirties.
